Just wondering… have you considered simply filtering by a particular collection and then use the library sorting features?
TheMonitor:
A “Hide collection and ignore items” mode, essentially doing nothing to the items within.
There’s already an existing suggestion addressing this – please vote in that collection in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.
Currently the collections settings in each library has 3 options:
Disabled
Hide items which are in collections
Show collections and their items
I would like to add 1 option:
Hide collections and items which are in collections
This way, you can still use the collections tab to look at collections, but the library will not show collections or their items.
This should make it easier to check items which haven’t been placed in collections yet (If you are like me and want to “collectify” a lot…
TheMonitor:
An optional checkbox in Advance Collections settings that would force collection mode parameters to ignore library items / not affect them.
An overhaul to the collection mode system whereby collection modes and library item modes are separated. Collection Mode options would be “Hide” and “Show”. Library Items Mode options would be “show” “hide” “unaffected/ignore”.
I suppose this is also covered in a number of existing suggestions, e.g.
Currently the Library advanced options for Collections are:
Disabled
Hide items which are in collections
Show items and their collections
And the Collection advanced options for Collection mode are:
Library default
Hide items in this collection
Show this collection and its items
Hide collection
Choosing Disabled in the library options means none of the collection options will work. So, it’s not possible (unless I’m missing something) to have collections hidden by default and then select…
It’s not a full feature request but there seems to be some issue with current per collection viewing rule for current implementation.
For example,
The Return of the King is part of Lord of the Rings collection as well as Oscar Best Picture collection in my case. I’d rather hide individual items for Lord of the Rings collection. But I don’t want to do the same for movies on Oscar Best Picture collection for obvious reasons.
This creates two conflicting collection rules, resulting Return of the…
If you are using collections and you want to change a setting, right now you have to go through each one and change the setting manually.
On the collections tab, what would be nice is if we could switch to a details view to see some of basic details of the collection, mainly, the name, sort title, collection mode, and collection order. So you can, in a glance, see what all your collections are appearing as vs having to go through each collection one by one and verify.
That’s it.
