have you considered simply filtering by a particular collection and then use the library sorting features?
I have and used to use that, filtering the full library by country. But it wasn’t perfect as it was relying on external metadata and that can get kind of messy when it comes to country of origin for specific films. Several Thai and Hong Kong films would show up as Chinese films instead when just using library filtering.
it appears you’re trying to force a square part through a round hole – i.e. using a collection as an additional way to structure the entire library vs. grouping related items / franchises
Perhaps a bit, as it pertains to the second half of my request with library-style browsing within Collections, essentially like I said making Collections mini-libraries. But based on the below linked post of Collection Display issues, the crux of the issue for me seems to be shared amongs other users, particularly those who curate an Oscars collection.
There’s already an existing suggestion addressing this – please vote in that collection in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.
I somehow missed this post when I was searching through the suggestions. It is asking for a similar feature to one of my solutions, but that’s the only similarity. This request is for additional features.
New options for Libraries (Collections) and Collections (Collection mode)
This one is again, asking for a single specific feature that is somewhat adjacent to my request. Also clearly a dead post since even the author has withdrawn her vote, leaving it at 0 votes.
This is precisely what I’m talking about in the first half of my post. Again, I missed this in a cursory search which is strange because I searched for “Collection Display” and only found the prior post. I will add my post to this thread since it is clearly the most visible and create a new one for the library-style browsing options since none of these posts seems to tackle that.
I don’t think this is the same as library-style browsing implemented into collections. They are asking just to be able to view collection details, but not make changes to them.
Thanks for your reply, I’ll make those changes.
