PostSubject: Gen2 TV Shows...   Fri Aug 28, 2009 9:07 am

For your consideration Billy,

When you create the TV section, is there a way to list all the TV shows so that you can see more at once rather than the Gen1 version which only listed 1 at a time unless you activate the pull-down. In otherwords use a list box instead of a combo box.

I'm wondering if the Seasons section that was in Gen 1 could revert back to just a combo box in Gen2 saving space for the actual TV shows.....

Then under that have a section to display the actual episodes of that season, perhaps 12 or so....also in a list box.

Even better would be to have the size of the list boxes customisable since some users may have many TV shows but with only a few episodes.....

(I hope I have explained this well enough!)

Cheers

I have spent a great deal of time thinking about this, I never really liked the method gen1 used.

Ultimately, I think that a treeview might be the best way to go

TV Show
............Season1
........................Episode1
........................Episode2
........................Episode3 etc
............Season2
........................Episode1
........................Episode2
........................Episode3 etc
TV Show 2
............Season1
........................Episode1
........................Episode2
........................Episode3 etc
............Season2
........................Episode1
........................Episode2
........................Episode3 etc

Collapsable to the TV Show list, but expandable to show every season and episode if required.

That sounds good as it will use the available space more efficiently than my suggestion too!

Cheers
