Smart Collections don't update parent Folders [dvdpedia]

Post by sitenoise »

Hi Conor, long time no visit ... congrats on Pocketpedia, wish I had an iPhone.

I'm writing to you about a curious behavior. I have a Folder called Asian Films and inside it I have several Smart Collections named by country. If I click on the Folder I see a sort of Global Inbox of the movies from the Smart Collections therein ... except new additions don't show up until I hit the Folder disclosure triangle and click on the country's Smart Collection.

Is that to be expected? It just occurred to me ... I rarely ever quit dvdpedia, is this something that would update upon launch? Guess I could try that out. (I think that's it)

Cheers to ya

This was the original intended behavior to avoid any slow downs when clicking on a folder with a large number of smart collections. But the Pedias have become so fast that in the next version (beta) it will update all the collections inside the folder and there should be no speed problem.

P.S. You should get an iPhone (or an iPod Touch), you get a free Pocketpedia with it.
