Enhancement - Update Season #96

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
There are users (including myself) that do not import all the data again to 
change a season but use the same entry in the app's database for the new season 
(the old one is anyway useless at this point).

So what we do is:
- increase the season number 
- point to the new local directory 
- increase the TvSubtitles ID number

and click the tick (Ok) button.

At this point we can see the episodes of the previous season with no video/
subtitles(since the directory is updated) and we have to:
- select all the episodes and right-click to delete them
- right-click and select update episodes from TvRage

The enhancement is the app to understand that the user has changed the season
and to update the episodes automatically, i.e.
- delete the old episodes
- update with the episodes of the new season
- check if video/subtitle files are already in the directory and display them
- if automatic renaming is enabled to rename accordingly

For the case of accidentally season change, the user can be notified with a new 
pop up warning him that the season number is changed and new episode data will
be downloaded, to press ok if he/she is sure/ cancel to abort.

I am not sure if you gain anything from this. You just save a row in the 
database but you break all history of a series season.
You can easily create a new series and chose from the drop down the series 
title you want and almost every field is auto filled

You generally don't need to keep the older seasons anyway, so having the new 
season on top of the previous one is logical thinking. Keeping the history of 
the seasons is not necessary, even more it gets messy after a while (I did this 
in the beginning). Now only the seasons I watch or monitor matter in the 
database. So if a series has a new season, it gets updated, if a series 
finishes its last season... it gets deleted.

It depends of the user. I want to keep all seasons, some may not.
I'm thinking on adding a "convert to next season" button or something that will 
change the season properties , delete old episodes and update with the new.
