Why this feature still isn’t implemented? Just add a simple option to add all files from a directory to a collection, its much easier and faster than creating smart collections that doesn’t even work in some cases. I have just organized my fashion show videos and there are a lot of them and this feature would be much appreciated. ---

Is it ever going to even be considered? ---

In my movies folder I have: Movie A (2018) Movie B (2015) Movie C (2010)... But if I have a collection of movies, for example all the Harry Potter films I would like to have them in a folder: Harry Potter Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone (2001) Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (2002) Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)...
