Yeah, I'm really hoping that once the fully automatic method is working well, they'll add support for manual rules (similar to confishy's Autotagger). Anyway, I'll stop here so as to not delve too far off topic...

If the files are tagged, it won't matter where they are stored.

Nice! I will dive deeper into this. I need to figure out tagging now. At first blush, so much of this stuff isn't user-friendly. I was able to change a movie tag in Theater View, but that's clunky for more than a handful of movies. I will update my first post when/if I figure out easy ways to do stuff. Db lookups being faster makes sense though.
EDIT: Do'h! I figured it out about 7 seconds after posting this. I was able to mass-change the tags from the Edit Menu, but I did get an error message saying that they couldn't be edited because they were open in another program or something like that, although the tags did stick.

First post updated.
Matt:
Would it help if you could set a few tags at import time for each folder?
For example, configure it so that G:\Kids Movies\ set the genre to 'Kids Movies' and media subtype to 'Movie'?
This is a feature we've been considering adding for a while.

Let me see if I have your question right...
Say I import a folder called Anime that resides on the R:\ drive
Are you implying the the import could automatically set certain fields in the database to the folder name? i.e. importing R:\Anime would populate (in your example) the database entry for Genre to 'Anime' and the subtype to 'Movie'? Did I read that correctly?
If that were the case, would it make sense to add a Db entry for 'Location' (or File Directory or something like that) and then sort by that? Or would that be too similar to Filename(path) and counterproductive?
