Hi all !

i need for my videos screen a new possibility. for moment if you click on the category you have this :

1 - not click event and not category selection event :
the category open all folder and play when you click on the item.

2 - click event and not category selection event :
When you click on a category folder the event asign are execute.

what i need ?

if i have this organisation :

alias
    alias - season 1
      ep 01
      ep 02
      ep 03
    alias - season 2
      ep 01
      ep 02
      ep 03
angels in america
    ep 01
    ep 02

i need an event for the last folder. if i asign for this event a goto videosdetails the result is this :

alias show all alias subfolder
    alias - season 1 execute the event goto videosdetails
      ep 01
      ep 02
      ep 03
    alias - season 2 execute the event goto videosdetails
      ep 01
      ep 02
      ep 03
angels in america execute the event goto videosdetails because this folder don't have subfolder
    ep 01
    ep 02


Thank's a lot

I suspicion that the way Music does this is by having type "track" and type "album" behave differently. I'd love to see this as well for video files, if only because I don't really believe that every individual video file deserves cover art, but I want the folder to have it :) The video database already has type "folder" and.. um... well, no type at all, but it is different from folder. (This depends on doing folder as container, of course.)

Right now I have a workaround where the cover art for the highlighted item is displayed in one place and the category doesn't show it, but that means you can only see the image for one folder at a time.
