Maybe this is way out there but I’d like to see the ability to customize the visibility status for each movie in a collection.

Let’s say I have a MCU collection with all of the films and collections for every one that has more than one film (Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Ant Man, etc…). If I want films like Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange & The Incredible Hulk to appear outside of the MCU collection right now I have to make a new collection for each of those.

What would be nice to see is the ability to set visibility individually. So something like a checkbox in the Edit screen for the movie that would allow you to set it to “Visible”, “Hidden” or “Collection Default”.

That sounds very much like this suggestion to me…

I may be missing what you’re actually asking for and I have both collections and " Use collection info from The Movie Database" disabled in my movies library. However despite this, in the UNO interface all manually created collections will appear in the collections tab,

Take a look at Bad Boys and Blade movies in both cases.

whilst in the Library tab all movies stay as individual movies.

Again apologies if I’m missing what you are asking for. But any movie can be added to multiple collections eg. Thor collection and MCU collection, whilst still appearing as individual movies in the library view.

Yes but what he is referring to is the visibility settings for each collection.

So lets say we have two collections. A & B.

“A” has the following titles: 1, 2, 3  
“B” has the following: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

“A” is set to hide the titles and show the collection.  
“B” is set to show everything and hide the collection.

In your library you will see collection “A” and movies 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

What should be seen based on the suggestion is collection “A” and movies 4, 5 & 6.
