Purpose:
To better sort, order and manage the animes in the mylist so that, for example, friends looking at the mylist can instantly find your personal favorites. Would also help with separating movies from series and ongoing series from completed ones.
Possible user interface solution:
- Add a link to a category management page in the mylist menu's utils section. In the category manager, users can create, rename and delete mylist categories.
- Add a dropdown control and "Select" button at the top, just below the character bar. The dropdown contains all currently existing categories. Selecting a category will hide all files that are in a different or no category. A default category "all" will ignore the category assignment and simply show all files, as it does right now.
- Add a second dropdown control and "Move" button close to the actions dropdown.
- Extend the mylist table to include a category id for each file. The category can be assigned by editing the mylist entry or using the move button.
- On anime pages, add a mylist category dropdown to the "seen" and "state" dropdowns.
Alternatives:
- Place the category selector into the right border in the mylist, below the menu.
- Allow category names to be typed in; if a category with that name doesn't exist, it is created on the fly.
- More to come...
