2. Slides.xml in the "_Exclude" directories have "N/A" for all values. This will not match any slides, so these directories can be used to manually exclude any slides you don't want shown during a particular screening, regardless of rating. Useful if you want a themed slideshow (ie. play all Harry Potter trivia before a HP film by dropping everything except Harry Potter slides into the "_Exclude" directories.) I'm not sure of the behavior here; if you have a slides.xml with all "N/A" values in a parent directory, but you drop in sub-folders which have slides.xml files which do return results, will the content of those sub-folders be displayed?
having to manually move stuff isn't good. how about a genre or theme based filter. you would still have to enable it in settings, but it would be easier. and you could give it more than one theme/genre.
eg <slide rating="PG" genre="Adventure / Science Fiction" theme="Harry Potter / Harry Potter: SS...">
then settings would have limiy ss by genre and limit slideshow by theme.
theme could be based on title of movie, so you would need to have a theme entry to include all HP movies for instance.
also genre could be a keyword like "$ANY$" to include for any genre
any thoughts
