Theater View Is Not Related to Main Database View Schemes
darichman:
I actually agree with Matt here.
Having said that, I don't use theatre view as much as a lot of the other users do -- I don't want to see my theatre view schemes bundled together with my standard view schemes. It could get cluttered very quickly. And if I change a standard view, I have to try and remember if I use it as a theatre view as well.
While we would have to create (often duplicate) theatre view schemes, isn't this something that would only have to be done once, or at least, infrequently?
In my mind, the two schemes should either be completely separate or tied directly to a standard view (like the old way), but nothing in between. I prefer separate.

We'll do this, but we're thinking about how.
I wonder if ISO's wouldn't be "Video" with a new field that says "play as data files" or something.

;D - ISOs are just disc images that could be DVD, Blu-ray, CD, or just data...you don't know till they are mounted. It would be best to let users tag them individually by media type for inclusion in the correct view but always just "run" them, at which point they are mounted and Windows Autorun then works out what to do just as if you put the physical disk in the drive.
Thanks

Could you introduce a new media type, "ISO video" ?
.iso files would automatically be associated wth this media type. They would show up in the Video category and in the Documents category. When played they would behave like any other data file.
If someone uses MC for organizing other kind of ISO image files it would be possible to exclude the .iso files from the video category by using a view scheme rule or by changing the media type to data. Similarly it would be possible to exclude them from Documents by adding a rule.
