Hi,
I got a clean xbmc install, and using MQ3 at this point
I'm looking forward to MQ4 , obviously
But what i want to know..
Before i set up my library complete as i want, will all things be the same, when i migrate from 3 to 4?
I mean, i wont lose my artwork... and stuff?
Even "watched" items...
Will movies set to watched, also be "watched" in MQ4?
Even for other things?

The whole library, artwork and all other things not related to skin will stay the same. You will only need to configure the skin again - select desired views, options.

Updating to MQ4 won't damage your library, but if you do a clean install of XBMC, then all of these will be lost.

Eden groups movie sets automatically, no need for nfos any more (unless you want something too specific). Go to Settings -> Video -> Group movies in sets option (don't remember exactly how it's called).

You could use Movie Sets, its an addon, but it's been disabled. I think they're making some improved better version.
You can edit nfos though. Just add a line like: <set>James Bond Collection</set> to each movie you want in the collection. You then have to remove the movies from your library and re-add them in order to force the nfos to be read.

It's a program addon, you need to run it from the programs menu. From there you can sift through all the sets and: add/remove movies from a set, create a new set, etc.
Also, the information about the entire set is only displayed on certain skins during certain views(Landscape/Showcase come to mind).

With Movie Sets, is there a way to turn them off using a smart playlist?
(They Movie Set would be toggeled on in settings, but if I didnt want to see them in a particular Smart Playlist...)
