New Dynamic Category: Title A-Z #1077

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Would like to add a new dynamic category to group movies by the first letter of 
their title. Under the hood should use the "sort by" field.

Done the bulk of this in r1366. A few small things to do:
1. add new entry into dynamic filter dropdown
2. ensure default sort order of letters make sense for non-english locales.
3. upgrade tasks?

Looking good. :) FYI on your todo list item #2 is Issue #715 here on the 
tracker. I think adding the new node to both the Filter menu and the 
MovieManager menu makes sense as well.

As far as upgrades, I kind of wish we had been tracking if a user makes changes 
to their menu or not. For people that have never tweaked it it would be no big 
deal to add something new IMO. But for people who have a custom setup it might 
be annoying for them to have something new added without confirmation or 
anything...

Any thoughts how to approach that?

I hope you don't mind, in r1367 I adjusted the labeling and position of the new 
dynamic category on the default menus. I also adjusted things so that you can 
select "Title" in the dynamic filter drop down to get this new filter (#1 on 
your list).

That's good fforde, I dont mind.

Im not sure about the upgrade task, you make a good point in that someone could 
get annoyed at the fact a new entry suddenly appears. I think just making it 
clear in release notes that the new dynamic filter exists and how to add it if 
user chooses.

In r1371 I fixed a bug introduced in my last commit.
