Image Folder Names

Is there any way that I can get my photo albums to display the actual file folder names instead of the imported dates. This is in theater view. I have a large and well organized library, but MC doesn't recognize the names of the folders.
Thanks

One way is to use an expression that gets the part of the filename you want.
So add a view to Theater View (Options > Theater View) and add a category built around an expression.
Here's an example expression for the "Last Folder":
ListItem([Filename (path)], Math(ListCount([Filename (path)], \) - 1), \)

You can also copy this information to a field by editing a field (say 'Album') and entering the expression with an equal in front of it, so:
=ListItem([Filename (path)], Math(ListCount([Filename (path)], \) - 1), \)

Matt, thanks for your tip; I'll give it a shot. One more thing though. I'm not scared of programming languages, so I'm curious about the origins of your expression. I've been trying to modify the theater view skins, but it seems like they're not giving up the core of this thing.
