Support / Re: Question about labels (i.e. Seen & Wish)

Oops, I just edited my post while you were responding. So I guess nevermind my edit :)

Thanks for your response. I wasn't actually aware of the existence filter, based on the location of a movie on a harddrive. That might actually do the trick for me.

Support / Question about labels (i.e. Seen & Wish)
« on: April 17, 2011, 05:23:27 pm »
I love the software but there is one thing I don't understand when it comes to labeling my movies.

Because the way I'd like to use this software, is to find out 2 things about each movie in my database:

  • Whether I've seen the movie or not (on a sidenote: 'not' means I still want to see it, otherwise I wouldn't add it in my database)
  • Whether I want to own the movie / I don't want to own the movie / Already own it

So I can create the following scenario's:

  • Movie A: Seen it, want to own it
  • Movie B: Seen it, don't want to own it
  • Movie C: Seen it, already own it
  • Movie D: Didn't see it (yet), want to own it
  • Movie E: Didn't see it (yet), don't want to own it
  • Movie F: Didn't see it (yet), already own it

Is this possible wihout making custom fields? Because to be honest I don't want to use a custom field for this. Otherwise I get inconsistent data like "I would not like to own it, but I do own it". Also I'd like to give different colors to every label.

Edit
I'm not trying to answer my own question, but I've given it some thought. Would it be an idea to rename Wish to something like Collection and change the options to something like Want it, Don't want it and Have it? It still keeps the old thought behind it, yet perfectly suits the needs of people like me.

Hmmm, now it starts to look like a suggestion. Sorry about that.
