Need option to prevent watched movies from disappearing

I'm confused. A different jewel colour (red) DOES indicate that content has been watched. Also the left-arrow on the controller toggles the view to allow you to see watched shows. I don't see how this can be described as a work around.

As for your babysitter, don't worry. She'll be too busy raiding your drinks cabinet and getting her boyfriend to drive over so they can work on some much needed sexual experimentation than worrying about watching an episode of Ugly Betty.

What wazza said. Read my followup to #184 if you still don't understand.

i read 184. the jewel color does not change by default. the default behaviour is for watched shows to disappear. the work around is to mark every folder in your structure as a favorite -- this will change the behaviour to make it change the jewel color. however, since folders don't start out as favorites, the default (unusual, disconcerting, and defective behaviour) is for watched shows to disappear.

so after 11 years of developing user interfaces, I'd call this a defect. But being generous, I'm asking for a new option to allow the user to change the default behaviour. instead of a resolution, some jerk is talking about under-age drinking and sexual experimentation? who's running this project? a 12 year old?

Replying to anonymous:

i read 184.

Obviously not. What part of "Toggling the view is used to cycle the browser’s viewing mode ( unwatched / favorite / all )" is so hard for you to understand?

default behaviour is for watched shows to disappear.

No it isn't. You changed the browsing mode to unwatched.

the work around is to mark every folder in your structure as a favorite -- this will change the behaviour to make it change the jewel color. however, since folders don't start out as favorites, the default (unusual, disconcerting, and defective behaviour) is for watched shows to disappear.

Wrong! That's not the workaround, which is a misnomer because there is no bug to work around. You toggle the view to display all.

Oh, like changing the view to show show all instead of unwatched? I would think that someone who's spent 11 years developing user interfaces would be familiar with the concept of actually reading a manual.

Waza isn't running the project, but he is a contributor. He's contributed a lot more than you have, and I won't tolerate you insulting him.

I've deleted your troll comments and censored your last, and if you persist in such behavior, I will take further action. This is not your project, and no one here needs you, so either contribute something useful, or go away.

First off, let me say I'm sorry if my humour has gone down the wrong way. This is a ticketing system and not a discussion forum so it's true that I should dial down the irreverence a notch. I apologise to both yourself codepoet and to the Sapphire team, flamewars are not something any of us want on here and I'm sorry for starting it.

I may not be a project team member but even as an occasional contributor I don't want the Sapphire project to get a reputation for being rude to users through anything I say.
