    I appreciate having collections to avoid cluttering the library with multiple sequels. I was wondering if we could have more settings after running into issues with creating a DC universe folder - such as;

    1. Enabling collections for specific libraries/folders

    2. Disassemble unwanted auto generated collections/checkbox to not associate a file to a collection
     -  Allows some flexibility in libraries where you want collections to be enabled. 

    3. Set a desired number for a collection to be created 
     - Collections can be generated on user preference for X number of matching items. (does not trigger on X number of items but will trigger on X number of items)




    1.1 I'm creating a DC library and I want to avoid having collections in my folders, so that items can be sorted chronologically and in the order of it's continuity. The structure in the library is as follows 

    https://flic.kr/p/2qYgbAb - Standalone movies were not added to a collection despite similar names but Batman Dark Knight was. It may do this automatically at some point - but it's inconsistent here. (can be achieved with point 1 or 2)
    https://flic.kr/p/2qYhaqj - Cannot sort chronologically due to collections 
    https://flic.kr/p/2qYfnrP - Unwanted collections (Can be achieved with point 1 or 2)


    Top level
    >DC 
    -Movies+Shows (I save originals and standalone movies/shows here) 
      >DC Animated Movie Universe
    -Movies (Animated continuity - I would like collections disabled here)
      >Tomorrowverse
    -Movies (Animated continuity - I would like collections disabled here)





    Thanks and I hope it made sense.

    I just saw an option to 'Remove from collection' from within the collection, feeling silly haha

    Lots of interest in better ways/methods of using Collections within JF. Hope those with more knowledge than I on how to do this are paying attention and able to help progress things along!
    JF Wish List:
    IMDb Top250 metadata
    Collection content rules: Library-Title/Sorttitle/Tag/Director/Filename/Contains
    Collection organized by Library
    Collections scanned to editable XML
    Media info show added Collection
    Soundtrack auto link to movie by title/sort/Manual
    Read Music Album Sort
    « Next Oldest | Next Newest »
