Quite hard to understand what exactly we can expect with your update, lightglitch.
Many thanks
With this update you have:
- All the virtual folders you want
- The virtual folders hierarchy you want
- Each virtual folder can not only contain other virtual folders but also can me mapped to several physical folders (containing all their files)
- Complete integration with the media library (useful because of cache)
- No problems with thumbnails because it behaves like a normal folder in the current version of PS3MS
- You can also define the folder thumbnail like in normal folder
In more technical way what I implemented was:
In current version of PS3MS exists the type
RealFile that represents a single physical file (folder is just a special file) and what I needed was a type
that represented several physical files, for this I created the type
MapFile.
After looking at the
RealFile and
VirtualFolder code I realize that the type I wanted was a mixture of both. It was a
VirtualFolder but the code for handling the children was similar to the
RealFile (when this represents a folder).
After some copy and paste and some changes I created my
MapFile, after being done I realize the
RealFile was just a special case of the type created so I change the
RealFile to descend from
MapFile and removed all the duplicate code.
Hope it helps to understand the changes.
