Ability to Have Views Locked or Default to Different Types
I'd like to see the ability to change or lock the default view of certain of my libraries. For example, I'd like to have certain sections locked to views by folder. And maybe an option to not generate thumbnails, or add certain libraries to the global "Recently added" lists. Some of us have personal home movies, or things like that, that we don't want thumbnails generated for, or we want to have a folder style view for our clients. Would certainly be helpful navigating large collections on portable devices, or tv-addon-players like Roku.

Wow, honestly can’t see how not a single vote after days, you’d figure being able to control the views of your library would be a staple. Oh well. Back to airplayit I guess… lol.
