So I have all my movies loaded into the library, and it's awesome. However, I have my movies organized in a very specific folder structure that I prefer to browse over using the library (Group sequels together, etc). Unfortunately, the slick library views do not appear to be available in the File Mode.
Any way I can copy-paste the XML to make them work?
(Example: Media Info 2 as a file mode view, with the library info displayed)

Not possible, but grouped movies are currently possible, I group my Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc movies together already using it.

You can set the sort order for each movie so sequels are sorted correctly, e.g. Batman begins/the dark knight (sort order for dark knight is set as batman begins 2) or the alien movies.
You can also add movies to movie sets. This adds a single folder entry in place of all the movies. You go into the folder to see all the movies in that set. I've put all the James bond films in a set so they don't clutter up the library view.
Both these approaches are available by editing each movie's .nfo file, or (the easier way) using media companion.

I currently don't use nfo's, I am trying to keep my server as clean as possible, allowing XBMC to handle all the data. I assume I can use just a few nfo's for my specific clustered movies? Can you link to a tutorial about the movie sets? That sounds like a pretty good solution!
Thanks!
