It is multi-faceted:
- The data structure of the Library was designed at the time for a physical media library usage and highly movie-focussed,
- There’s a lot of users using the Library for more than it’s intended purpose, they basically put everything they watch or have access to in it,
- All of this while we are trying to make it more approachable for users that are usually “streamers” and heavy TV Show watchers.
→ All of this should answer the second part of your question
We are thinking/working on all these points. Tagging and filtering is exactly why we want to keep the notes alive and well during the transfer. Nothing set in stone yet but being able to filter any List with tags in notes (even new tags you would like to have later for your own organization) would be 10x better than to keep the Library with an additional dimension of tabs (physical vs digital) and the fixed tags.
Finding the list and adding to that list are more in the realm of “UX improvements” that I don’t see blocking at this point. That could even be solved with a plugin or third-party app that would give you only one button (called “Collect” or whatever) to add to that specific list with pre-registered tags that you would tick to add in a structured note. That is in the mean time, we’ll probably also take a stab at this at some point.
I love the idea, but also, this could just be a “view” that shows you all the media across some lists you select instead of the all-in-the-Library approach.
Yeah, that was true at the time, sorry.
See above, we have plan for tagging and filtering. Let me know if there’s something I forgot to cover.
