Remove the All Videos folder and any -ALL- folder

Post by ikemiller2662 » Wed May 06, 2009 1:21 am

i hate that i have to have that folder --- i have my folders set up how i want everything to be viewed. i don't want those damn links. Windows Media Connector doesn't make them, so why does Twonky have to? i had the same issue with TVersity.
why is it so hard to not have those, to have a checkbox to disable them?

Good question. I also find those annoying and pretty useless, so a check option to turn them on/Off would be a useful feature.

For the time being, if you are rnnung verison 5.0.55 of Tonwkyserver and don't mind a bit of XML coding, the only way is to modify the default xml file to remove the logic for displaying the "-ALL-" records.

When I used Twonky 4, I renamed the -All- to 'Z Do Not Select'. This moved it to the end of the list and helped prevent accidentally selecting it (particularly at drunken parties). :)
