Collections driving me crazy. What's wrong?

Hi, can you explain more what you mean by that? Thanks.

   when you select "add to collection" from a film menu, you are taken to a page with two selection boxes.

the upper one is labelled "collection": and has the word NEW in the box with a dropdown arrow.

 

the lower box is labelled "name:" with absolutely nothing in the box - until you click into the box and a drop down appears with collection names that you have already created.

 

if you just choose from the lower box, im guessing - rightly or wrongly, that emby assumes that its a new collection as stated in the upper box.

 

if, however, i'd bothered clicking on the top box [the one with new written in it]  the collections id created are in there also! - choosing them from this drop down - does not cause duplication [48 hrs in at least]

 

whilst its my fault, i do feel that this is far from intuitive and either better labling - or restructuring in later versions may reduce this kind of operator error?

Thanks for the feedback.

If you choose NEW for the top box the lower box is just autofilled by your browser. It's not Emby doing this.

If you take a look at spotify's add to playlist function on a mobile device, that's a nice graphical approach that i'd like us to adopt.
