Yesterday I finally took the plunge and upgraded to Eden. It went pretty well for the most part, the forum here helped a lot with some sound issues I was having.
However after messing around with it for a few hours I noticed that Whenever I went into the 'Files' view and unticked 'Hide All' in TV shows it also changed this view in my Library so the next time I went into Library mode I was presented with all shows watched and unwatched. The exact same thing happened for Movies, and when I change the view to hide watched within my Library the files view also only showed unwatched content.
The different views is something I used a lot in Dharma, I have two small kids who like to watch the same stuff over and over again, my wife is comfortable with going into the Files view (previously just Videos) and picking out what they want to watch and in the evenings we'll use the library to choose what we want to watch without having to scroll through pages of already watched content. I know it might sound like a small thing having to change views for different occasions, but when you're likely to have to do it at least twice every day I can see it getting tedious especially knowing that pre Eden all I had to do was choose a different context to see exactly what I wanted without any messing.
I've looked in every menu I can find using both the Confluence and Transparency! skins with no luck, I've also tried looking at some files in the Userdata folder but most of it doesn't mean a lot to me. A search of the forum here also provided no useful results, but that could be down to the fact that words like Video, Files, Watched, Unwatched etc are so common. I'm running XBMCBuntu as my OS, have 2 HTPCs in the house, and use a central Mysql database to keep the libraries in sync.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have 2 more days of messing around before my wife returns with the kids and depending on her reaction this could prove a reason to downgrade again.
