Feature Request: move to...

[seanmcleary]

the ability to have different folders with different settings is nice. but unless i think to set up recordings to go to specific folders (which is never), it's not that useful. not to mention if i watch an episode that i later decide should go into another folder, i have to interact with the web admin or the OS directly which is very un-living-room.

what i'd love to see is a Move To... control on the episode detail page. a user would click on the control and would then be asked to which folder he would like to move the episode. once he had selected a folder, a progress bar would show while the episode was being moved (background note: maybe a copy and delete original in case of read/write problems), and once successfully moved, the episode would then inherit all settings from the new folder except those which were explicitly set for the episode.

for example, i have two folders named Recorded Shows and Saved Shows. my Recorded Shows folder resides on disk A and is set to expunge episodes as needed. Saved Shows resides on disk B and is set to keep episodes until i delete them. if i watch a particularly hilarious episode of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, i can click on Move To... and place that episode into the Saved Shows folder so that it can be saved for all eternity and i can play it for my grandkids and we can laugh and laugh.

don't you want my grandkids to laugh?
