I am still quite confused about the new library mode in Eden and how it deals with filtering the movie library.
Filtering functions - I used to click "movies" from the main menu and then had the option to click (...) to have various filtering options (filter by genre, filter by year). This options disappeared. I know that I can still do it through smart albums, but that's much more complex. Is there still an easy way to get the old functionality at ease?
Thanks in advance!!!

Would really love to know whether this is a bug or on purpose? If a bug, any chance to see this solved before final Eden release?
Another example, which is hugely annoying is that this "bug" prevents me from showing an "album view" of music videos. If accessing from the main menu, it picks a track view, but no (...) to go to a different view such as showing artists or albums.
Thanks a lot!!!

Intentional. It all depends on how you enter the library.
May need some skin alteration.

Don't think it is a skin issue (and T! devs also commented it is not).
Situation is that (...) disappeared from the movie list. So, when entering library from main menu, it does not allow me to filter by year or genre anymore. Skin allows to add sub-menuse, which allow filtering by year, but that's not as nice as it used to be in Dharma.
Any chance to get the (...) back? Thanks!

I'm using the refocus pre-eden skin on a recent XBMC eden nightly, and that skin gives the user the option of adding or removing the filters as they see fit for both Movies and TV Shows (eg genre, year, recently added, director, studio, etc). This is an option available under Settings => Skin. If you can't see these options then it is a limitation of the skin that does not either allow for these filters in their skin, or does not make it easy to reach them through the default skin setup.
I think this discussion should be in the General Help and SUpport forum anyway...

Thread moved.
I've noticed this too. You will get the up directory (..) link if you go into the general menu option and then to the sub-option, but not if you go into the sub-menu directly from the home screen. Very inconsistent.

Taken care of in Eden.
