Making Workflow more Intuitive

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Once you've enabled right-click, there may be a more intuitive workflow 
that is more in-line with Windows standards:

Rather than creating operations for: Process Missing, Process New, etc...

Change this to "Select" or "Mark" Missing, New, etc.

Then you'll have one single "Execute" button (forced or interactive) based 
on whatever is selected.

The benefit here is not only a more intuitive/consistent workflow, it's 
the ability to see ahead of time what movies are queued-up for processing 
(by selecting first, then executing).

This will not going to happen in this way. 

EMM provide the user with wide veriety of updaters.
Auto updaters are always needed.

What might happen is, that you will have the ability to mark the selected 
movies at
once, than you can run the marked movies updater on them.

Yes, however, you're missing the point.

The standard for windows development is to set all filters separately as an 
explicit 
and overt transaction, then the "process" step is a polymorphic action 
enumerating 
those selected.

Before you disregard, you should consider taking a vote among new users / doing 
usability testing.  It's not only a more standardized approach, it allows the 
user 
to see what is being processed before hand.

Many programs similar to Ember have gone through this same change/upgrade, 
including 
the most downloaded tagging app out there: Tag&Rename.

There are already visual cues for new movies, marked movies, movies missing 
items,
etc. You already know which movies will be processed for new movies (the green 
ones)
or marked movies (the red ones) or missing items (don't have check boxes). So 
I'm not
quite understanding the point of having another step of selecting these movies 
first,
then running the updater.
