1. Thanks, I didn't know the setting already exists. But for some reason it doesn't work. First, the setting won't stick if switched to "A-Z asc" order. Second, if I manually change config.xml values (from 0 to 1), those filters only show actors starting with A and directors starting A thru K. What's going on?

2. As far as I understand, the current Kodi field "Credits" is a shorthand term for "Writing credits", and "Writers" in movie industry generally includes screenplay writers as well as original novelist, etc. The problem is that not only writers but other crew and cast members too get "credited" with the work (like "opening/ending credits"). I think that's why most movie databases including IMDB & TMDB use "Writers" instead of "Credits". But if you don't want to change the term, I won't insist.

3. Then how about a new filter where source folders could be selected?

4. Maybe I should make myself clearer about the old wish. Current tabs can just stay but with this layout for some tabs: http://i.imgur.com/zepMpHD.png (Mockup for "Change Movie" tab)
