Welcome to the forum


First of all, you can set and view your "Watched" history by right-clicking a movie title and going to "View History..."

Next, you can right-click anywhere within the list of movies and go to "View Columns -> Last Watched" this will put a new column to the right of the titles giving the dates that the movies were last watched as set by the dates you used in the View History. Columns can also be moved around by clicking on their names and dragging them left and right.

But as for a simple check mark flag, no, that is not possible with the default settings. (There is a slight possibility using custom windows it could be done, but that's over-complicating things quite a bit for you and likely isn't still possible to just "click, it's now been watched."

Yea, custom windows are a very helpful feature, but they require writing or finding scripts that serve different purposes, and even then you might have to change things a little to suit your own needs. Depending on the person, they aren't something you may dive into full steam.


But you are right, new request: a simple flag indicating a movie has been watched at least once.

APM, welcome to the forums!

Using History (CTRL-H) is one way to set 'watched by',  I use the direct approach: CTRL-W which summons the 'set watched by' dialog immediately.

Going back to the original request:
Yes, currently to see the watched movies in your collection list is via the 'flag' feature. I too would like a separate visual indicator, whatever way the collection list is displayed. That said, it might require some tinkering with defined users: watched by all defined users, watched by at least one of them, watched by one specified user (like the main profiler user on the PC), etc.

However, it isn't a top priority for me. There are a number of requests that to me are a bit more important for Invelos to set the teeth into (the naming/linking issues for one, separation of release data vs. movie data, to name two of them).

Maybe when you click it - an eyeball shows up to show it has been watched, or something like that.

Another possible work-around:
Collection Hints - I have the Mithi Lightblue Custom Hint german that shows a logo indicating that this title is unwatched or the showing the date of the last watch-event.

cya, Mithi

Not sure if you run the BulkEdit plugin or not, but I am in the process of adding Collection \ Flags \ Flag Watched.
