So I have a view in my library for downloaded videos - this is a mixture of content that comes from "podcast" subscriptions, videos downloaded from YouTube to watch later, content from sites like Vimeo and TED etc.
Anything from a podcast has the Artist tag filled out, and sometimes files that come from other sites also have the Artist, or Album tags filled out. Anything else ends up in "Unassigned" - I really need to set up an import rule that automatically takes and subfolder name and uses that for the artist, though there will still be some which are just left as being "Unassigned".
Anyway, the issue I am having, is that I have a "Categories" view set up with the expression if(isempty([Artist]),[Album],[Artist])
This works well and groups everything together nicely so that I can click TED, Vimeo, YouTube etc. at the top of the window if I want to view content from a specific site (album) or subscription (artist).
It's sorted by import date, so that when a "podcast" downloads new content it's first in the list. It would be nice if there was some way to display an indicator for new content, but that's not a major issue.
My problem is that in the list of files below, everything is grouped by categories, even if I don't have one selected at the top and have grouping disabled.
So if I download a new TED talk, all my TED videos are now listed before anything else, rather than it being: TED, YouTube, YouTube, Vimeo, TED etc.
Is there any way to create a view that allows for category selection, without grouping the files together unless a category has been selected?
And something I would also like to do, would be to assign an image to each category, rather than just seeing thumbnails for each video. (so I could have the YouTube, Vimeo, TED logos displayed)
