Thanks for the link jmone, but unfortunately this don't solve my main problem. I have tried the tactic before, but I was far from satisfied.
I know all about changing media type. The problem is that I don't want to do this every time I get a new image file! This can be as much as 3-5 times a week. I have to jump to standard view, find my mouse, plug it in, wait, find the files, hit the tag action, find the media type and set is at video. So I asked my self: "Why do this when you want to watch a new movie?" Instead I use an explorer shortcut and start the file from there. A LOT faster! Seems idiotic when you have such a powerfull MC don't it?
This was not necessary in MC12; and why it have been restricted really goes beyond me. People who only use a HTPC for theire MC13, and just have a remote with no mouse functions (and people with a mouse to!), do have a problem here. This could all be done automatic before. If you renamed the files before they were imported it was all ready to go. To set each file imported, to another media type, hardly seems more logical than to set a one-time-rule to add other types in a view.
WHY have this ben changed? And WHY is it so dangerous to allow people to show different file types under each View or View Scheme? I can see good reasons why people would combine audio, video, images and data in all directions. Can someone from J River please explain this change/restriction? If there is a good reason I'll stop complaining, but the best reason I have heard so far is that "you will never support it because it's not logical". But for many of us it IS. And I can garantee the it will confuse less people if we can do this, than if we can't.
I either have to stop watching DVD's or to hold on to my MC12 for a long time. With all the new cool functions in MC13, the last option would be really depressing.
