Auto custom collection / playlist creation

[IAmHugh 74]

I have more than a few custom collections in my movie series library making the use of auto collection useless for me. What I would like to see is the ability to go into my movie series library, sort by folder (movie series), select all, then be able to click either create playlists or create collections having each folder with it's name added to either a playlist or collections library rather than having to add each fold one by one.

Hi, did you try using the multi-select tool to quickly create a new collection or playlist based on that?

Please reread what I wrote cause I just did and it's clear as day. Lets try it this way.

1. Open Movie Series library

2. Select folder view

3. Use multi-select to select all Movie Series folders

4. Have an option for automatically naming all with the series / collection name I gave each Movie Series folder, then automatically adding the movies in each new collection / playlist to their collection / playlist

So, what you really want is a tool to convert your folders into collections or playlists?

[IAmHugh 74]

Yes instead of having to do folder by folder. Maybe even have it have a hook to scan for new items added to those folders and autoadd them to playlist / collection they are in.

Sounds like something a tool could be developed for but not really broadly applicable such that it should be a part of the main interface.
