Confidence Level & Other Columns in Movie List Grid

[GoogleCodeExporter]

New column suggestions for the movie-list grid?

* Confidence Level.  I wonder if it would be valuable to have a confidence 
level icon next to each matched movie. For exaple, if the exact (or best)-
match and the popular-match are different, that would be a low confidence 
level icon next to that movie. This way, "Force (best match)" searches 
could give some level of feedback to the user, where to focus their 
efforts.  Sortable to quickly locate movies that need attention.

* Genre.  For the Genre-assignment and movie organization, sortable.

Just out of curiosity, how do you suggest putting genres in the list? lol There 
could
be 10+ genres for a single movie. To put them all as, say, comma separated text 
would
make the list too wide to be usable unless you shrunk the column.... then, at 
that
point, what's the purpose of having it there? lol

As discussed in another issue, we will be loading all data from the nfos soon, 
so
filtering (including by genre) will be included. Should take care of that.

I think "Confidence Level" could be worked in some time.

For the multiple-genres issue, you're 100% right -- great point.  Of course 
just 
about all modern grids offer auto-scaling Y-height (between that and wrapping, 
it 
would be fine) and realistically ... no move should be part of more than 3 
genres 
and worrying about exceptions in this superficial case, probably isn't worth 
the 
effort.

However, there is a much better way, I think.  
One is to use the tool-tip workaround and simple trim the extra genre's .. but 
a 
more beneficial option would be...

If you use a *groupable* grid ... you could offer options for how the user 
prefers 
to organize the data, Genre being one of them.  Then the user would see a group-
name, with any related movies listed below (repeating when existing in multiple 
genres).

This "view" would not be ideal for choosing which movies to scrape/etc -- 
however, 
it would be very helpful for organizing the collection, which would appear to 
be the 
primary objective of a tool like Ember (organization as a whole, rather than 
simply 
scraping).  Of course I could be way off, maybe you want to keep it niched as a 
single tool/utility.  However, if you plan on selling at some point, I think 
organizier appears to a much more broad audience.

And on that note, take a look at ANT Movie Catalog for a very clean/simple 
model of 
a movie catalog (also with scrapers, but not intended to create NFO's, etc).

HTH :-)
