[Req] Ability to create folders (not in folder view)

Feature Suggestions
1

Developers:

 

It would be a helpful feature to be able to create folders similar to what the TV Shows agent does but for use with generic video files.  For instance, I have a bunch of Andy Kaufman videos that I want to be accessed from clicking on a single Andy Kaufman poster, as opposed to seeing 100 of them with video stills as icons fraternizing everything else in the current Library folder.

 

I think this feature has the potential to help tidy things extensively.  

 

Thanks.

Collections perhaps?

Interesting - but when I click on the checkbox all I see happening is the watch status turning off (as if nothing was played).  I don't see the boxes that are supposed to appear.

No boxes will apear.....

(Doc is a tad outdated, but thanks for pointing it out)

Simply click on the relevant movies

Ok thanks, so now I just clicked on add to add to a collection called Andy Kaufman, but they all remain checked and not consolidated.

Ha sorry… Nothing happens when I add the videos I selected to a collection. They all remain checked

After selecting, the doc says to press the icon to add to a collection.....

After that, when selecting a library, select new filter, and collections

I see the filter now and they are all in there but I wish I could hide the posters for each of these from the main library.  The idea is to clean the main library up so I will have one poster for all of these in this specific collection as opposed to one for each... right?

Not covered by collections, sadly....just wanted to provide you with a potential workaround

No problem and thanks... perhaps the plex developers can implement a way to convert collections into what I described in the future?

It's Plex, so everything is possible  ;)

While I disagree with your sorting methods I think unlimited customization should be important but think this most closely reflects the box-set feature request. A single icon for any number of movies.

Understood... may I ask why you disagree? 

Thanks...
