First, some words need to be eaten. I've used sets for a decade now, and set persistence was something I had come to expect. My thoughts are pointing at that 'behind-the-scenes' update that arrived a year ago, during some functional discussions that I observed at that time.
However, I should probably be pointing such thoughts at my brain, as 71 years have played heck with memory functionality. I have no excuse for why I didn't double check, besides my age incrementing yesterday -- not a good excuse for a retired software engineer!
Yes, sets are not preserved when refreshing from year or genre lists, my apologies.
My memory persists in thinking that sets were preserved in some earlier version; I shall strive to purge it! (Or, maybe, one day, I'll request that set information be preserved in certain situations! ;o)
As for why I'm refreshing: In January, after the discussions, and some changes were made to other aspects, I decided to scrape _some_ movies with the TMDB scraper -- just to see. Mistakes were made, a Yes was clicked when it should'nt've been; frantic clicks on the cancel button were ignored by the system, and each and every one of my movies was re-scraped. I was not a fan of the results! Many of my movies are quite old and obscure, and TMDB's info isn't adequate for them -- especially when it comes to genres! After I reverted to the Universal scraper with IMDB, I thought it best not to re-scrape my entire collection again; mostly because of the issues with we had with IMDB's API at the time. So, when the mood hits me, I'll refresh some of those obscure movies, and nod in satisfaction as harmony is restored!
Now ... where's my Bath chair?
