Custom button feature request
« on: May 08, 2011, 03:55:49 am »

Hi All,

I have a custom field 'Watched' which can be Yes or No. I use this to create a view of movies that I have not watched yet. After watching them I go in and change Watched to No. What I would like is a custom button on the top bar of the main window that I can set to toggle this field.

There are lots of other uses for a custom button also.

I've always longed for the ability to put custom items on the toolbar—to attach MCC commands and whatnot. I suppose a Toggle([Field]) function, or a more universal Increment([Field]) (which would toggle a boolean field), would be a nice embellishment.

But I wonder, why are you not using [Last Played] to automatically determine movies not yet watched? I realize that runs the risk of changing the status of a movie not fully viewed, but surely that's not a common occurrence—or at least not one that causes a problem. I imagine the movie you didn't finish watching last night easily found at the top of your "Watched" view. But if you're concerned about it, you can use a rule that compares [Bookmark] to [Duration] to decide which view such movies belong in. Or just clarify the issue by displaying something like If(IsEqual([Bookmark],),,FormatDuration(Math([Bookmark]/1000)) // [Duration]). 8)
