Multiple Filter Instances for 'Video Details' Field
Posted: Fri Dec 04, 2015 4:30 pm
Hi, I've been trialling the free version and love what has been created in Coollector.
In order for it to be really useful for me though, I have a new feature request. Could we please have more than 1 instance of the 'Video Detail' field as a filter in to the 'Movie Filtered Search'? Ideally I would like to be able to add around 10 instances of this filter. If this can be done I will purchase the full version immediately.
The reason for this request is that I've been using the 'Details' field to add custom information to each of my videos, which is probably only useful in my particular instance, so not worth requesting creation of new specific fields/filters. The kinds of information I add to the 'Details' field include information about videos suitable for my nephews and nieces according to their ages, movies that I have only watched partially, movies I watched at cinema Vs DVD/rental/streaming, etc... I add similar info each time, which is why I prefer to add it once in the 'Details' field, and then reuse the same text next time rather than using tags.
I'd like to be able to narrow my list of videos down across several of these criteria at a time, but currently under 'Add/Remove Filters', only 1 instance of 'Video Details' is available.
Also, is it possible to backup/restore my custom added entries to the 'Details' field? If not, could this functionality also be added?
A superior alternative to the above requests would be to enable users to create their own custom fields and entries, or to re-purpose and rename existing fields and entries.
I suspect that this would be far more work to develop though, so I am happy to instead continue adding all my custom entries to the 'Details' field, so long as I can search on multiple entries within this field at once.
Finally, one additional not so critical request - Would it be possible to add 'Date first Watched' and/or 'Date last Watched' fields? Being able to record this information would be useful when deciding which favourites to re-watch, and also as a reminder of what I have and haven't watched recently.
Thanks for considering my requests.
Joel.
