I really like the new Movie Versions feature but some functionality could be made improved
The "Settings>Media>Videos>Library Section>Show video with multiple versions as folder" item defines whether the pop-up window or folder is shown. I like the new pop-up but it provides no information about the versions (duration, resolution, etc.) This can influence a selection, esp. the duration. Can this be added (i.e., can the file information tags at the bottom of the screen be active for each selection even when using this pop-up window)?
Turning this on (viewing as a folder) does provide this information about the movie to be watched but if the movie selected has Extras then using this view is now a complete mess. Everything, the movie versions and all extras, are shown all together. It would be better if the folder view only showed the movie versions with a some other way to view the extras (e.g., a folder that says Extras or some other way to get to the Extras)
The interaction of "Settings>Media>Videos>Library Section>Show video with multiple versions as folder" coupled with "Settings>Media>Videos>All Section>Default select action" is now broken:
If "Show video with multiple versions as folder" is OFF and "Default select action" is Information it creates odd extra clicks.
If "Show video with multiple versions as folder" is ON and "Default select action" is Information it doesn't work at all

- select a movie with multiple versions - the versions pop-up appears
- select the movie version - the information page appears
- select play - you're back to the pop-up showing the movie versions
- select the movie to play and now it plays (at this point is doesn't matter which version is selected, it'll play whatever is selected)
If "Show video with multiple versions as folder" is ON and "Default select action" is Information it doesn't work at all
- select a movie with multiple versions - the folder appears
- select anything in the folder - nothing happens
