Why is this program so confusing and unintuitive, it is driving me NUTS!!!!
There are several 'sections' when first installed; Pictures, Videos, Movies, Music, Programs, System.
Since I first installed I have moved my 'movies' (I called the location 'Films') from the hard drive they where on to a different one, now when I try to play one it says it is no longer available.
Fair enough as I moved it but how oh how please God do I tell it to not look in the previous location but tell it the new location of my movies, (ie my Films under the 'Movies' section), but NOT on an individual basis (ie clicking on each individual movie, being told it is no longer available and then selecting to remove from Library.)
I click on 'Movies' and go into that 'section'... nothing in there that I can do!
Under 'Videos' there is 'Files' and 'Library'.
In 'Files' I have 'add videos', I choose this and set it to my new location where my films are and I can choose and play from here but they do NOT work from 'Movies' section.
In 'Library' I can choose 'Files' then 'Films' (the name I gave the correct location) and play from here.
However in 'Library' there is also 'Movies', if I choose this it displays all the 'Films' I had originally added but again if I click on one it tells me it is no longer available etc etc ..
oh God oh God help me I am being driven mad by these stupid multi-layer file structure management systems that have many ways to get to one file but leaves you totally lost !!!
Please programmers do not copy MS way of file management, it is simply confusing and stupid (or is it me )
It should be an obvious and simple thing to set in the 'Movies' section where my 'films' are stored on my hard drive and to tell it if a location is wrong
And why is there a 'Movies' section AND a 'Videos' section anyway
I cannot work it out, it is beyond beliveable how unintuitive this is!
UNINSTALLED!
Back to Windows file manager, double click on movie file and watch in VLC or similar
