I like the way when you add something in a Series, you get the series listed at the top of Details screen above the Title, but it would be awesome if this was then selectable as a kind of link which if you clicked on would bring up all entries in that series back in the List/Cards/Shelves view. Like a shortcut to the folder view! which would be really useful to check quickly what else is in the series or to then go on to update any of them.
Then I was thinking it could even be extended to some other key fields (for me that would be Director, Distributor and possibly Studio) but maybe any appropriate ones.
We already do this in CLZ Movies Mobile for directors, where it just starts filtering all movies of that director, but still keeps you in the same folder view you already had.
What would you expect for this quick link in web?
Say you are foldergrouping on Format, then Seen it yes/no
Then you click on the “LOST” series name.
Would you expect it to just enable a filter and KEEP your current foldergrouping?
Or would you expect it to throw your foldergrouping away and immediately folder on SERIES and click the LOST series? (meaning you’d have to re-enable your normal folder view).
Not sure! either would work for me. Although there’s probabIy more benefits in the first scenario - enable a filter and KEEP your current foldergrouping - because if you had no folders to begin with you would see the whole series, but you might also not want to lose any pre-folder selections.
Either way, presumably when you’d finished looking at the series, you would then still need to re-select No Folders to get back the global view (or next folder view you wanted) - but that’s fine!
Yeah I think the first scenario would be more logical, and that is on the ideas list at least for a couple fields (might add more later). Thanks for your input!
