I have an idea I've been mulling over for some time. When in the file detail screen in Theater View:
The tags shown can be highlighted (which "opens" them if they're truncated), but hitting Enter on them does nothing. In some cases, for example [Duration], it doesn't make sense to do anything here. But for many other cases, it would be handy to have it
do something. I can see two basic options here (maybe some kind of combination of the two could work):
1. I often wish that I could scroll down and select the Genre, or Director, or Actors, and Enter on them to bring up a search for that particular tag. Much like the "magic arrows" in Standard View, but from within Theater View. I think Matt vaguely expressed support for this idea in the past when it was brought up.
2. In other cases, such as Watched (and other "toggle on/off" items) it would be handy if you could toggle them from right there, since Entering on them is otherwise useless. That way, it wouldn't need a roller option with a label of
any kind (clumsy or confusing). I'm also sure that some users would want to be able to actually tag things from here too, though I'm not sure if that is a good idea since most people won't have a keyboard (and would seem to conflict with item #1). Perhaps you have the current "Tag" roller item activate Tagging mode in here, whereas the default mode is #1 for most tags, but for simple on/off items like Watched it could just do the toggle (and maybe numbers that don't make sense to search, since many remotes have number keys anyway).
In any case, I think it is worth considering. It could be a very simple UI without adding any additional "noise" to the UI and rollers. Of course, I don't know how nightmarish from an architecture point-of-view this would be.
