Manual
Collections & Albums
Collections are saved rule sets that update themselves as the library changes. Albums are hand-picked playlists you control video by video — including a saved Album Order. Both live in the Quick Filter drawer.
Create a smart collection
- Open the Quick Filter drawer (⇧⌘F) and click New Collection in the Collections card.
- Name it, then add rules — the same attributes and operators as Advanced Filter, with ALL/ANY groups.
- Click Create. The collection stays up to date as you tag and rate.
Collections and the Advanced Filter work together
- To keep a live Advanced Filter, click Save as Collection… in the drawer header.
- Right-click a collection for Edit as Advanced Filter…, Edit Collection…, or Delete Collection.
Albums — hand-picked playlists
- Select videos, right-click, and choose New Album from Selection… — or New Album in the drawer for an empty one.
- Add more with right-click → Add to Album.
- With Sort → Album Order, drag cards or rows to rearrange.
- Right-click a video to Remove it from the album, or right-click the album to rename or delete it.
Removing a video from an album never touches the file. Play All uses Album Order when that sort is active.
