Probably not a good idea.

Yeah, I have been known to accidently drop a whole "Movies to be sorted" directory into one specific movie directory and not notice for a while. That would have made everything in the "Movies to be sorted" directory into Extras! :o
I like this new functionality. I'm not using Extra files of any sort yet, but would like to with some music and movies. This will make it worthwhile.
Thanks.
PS:
* The first thing I noticed was that existing Cover Art sitting next to an audio file is included in the "Extras". That's okay, but I thought it might only show files not already shown as Cover Art. i.e. Just the extra files. That would make the functionality a bit messy though.
* It would be nice if MC had some indication that there were extra files available. Perhaps something like the little Play icon shown against each file change color, or had a fine colored line drawn around the edge. Something that doesn't take extra space preferably. But if existing Cover Art is shown as Extras, all files with Cover Art would have the indicator, making it meaningless.
* The next thing I noticed was that a MC22.0.22 Client wouldn't show Extras from a MC22.0.21 Server. Upgrading the MC Server didn't change this; there was no "View Extras" item on the right click menu of the MC Client.
* I also noticed that there was no filtering of any sort, other than to exclude other media files themselves in the directory (I think). So on the Server, if I right clicked a TV Series episode or the Series name, all the Episode Cover Art was shown in the View Extras menu item, as all Episodes and their Cover Art are in the one directory. Maybe the Extras file(s) names should start with the media file filename, and the View Extras option should filter to just files that begin with the same name?
* Finally when I viewed multiple albums for an Artist, right clicked on a track in their second album, viewed the Cover Art image, then exited the view, MC drop back to the Artist view but with the first Album selected. So the list of tracks dropped back to just those in the first Album for the Artist. It would be nice if MC returned to exactly the same state the View Extras fuction was launched from.
A good starting point, but maybe needs a little polishing. ;)
Castius:
Just make the list an option you can edit. Or just use the file type as a limitation

Nice feature, I like it. However, some of the downloads I purchased have "folder.jpg" and "folder.pdf", which show up as "View folder" and "View folder" in the list. Please include file extensions.

I like this feature too.
But I'm having trouble navigating. Once I'm viewing an image full screen, when I click, it zooms in very far. Then I can't zoom back out. Right clicking gives me a menu, including "image view options", but that selection does nothing.
I was hoping to be able to navigate from image to image, or PDF, etc... file to file. But it only seems to bring up one at a time and I can't figure out how to select more than one.
I'm not sure if this is just because I'm unfamiliar with the interface, or if it's because I'm using the Mac version, or if this is just how the current version works.
Can anyone offer guidance and/or confirm what I'm seeing?
Thanks,
Brian.
