I am interested in having a column on the "All" collection list so that I can view which collection it is on. Since we do have the option to create new collections we should be able to distinguish which collection a movie is on if we are looking on the "All" list.

For those that use the "All"-tab this request makes sense.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

+1 ... I don't use additional Collections but even with Owned/Ordered/Wishlist such a column might come in handy.

Moar Columns!

not too sure what you want but I already have :  ALL / Owned / ordered/ Wishlist/
If I click on the Owned list it gives my 92% of titles / Ordered 1% / wishlist 7%  and All  --100%  ..

The Owned list contains catalogue number and the other three don't .. I can see that when I view All ..

perhaps your ordered list or wish list can be altered to give you better idea of what collection it is in .. say for instance to copy and paste just the front cover to the rear  until you actual order or buy it to own you can then change the rear cover to the right edition you own .

another way is to maybe add purchase date to the column and then if you don't own there be a blank date in the column .

Let's say you had the categories ALL / Action / Comedy / Science-Fiction. He wants a column in ALL that shows in which category Men in Black is.

that's what genres are for ...

I can't understand how for the little space we have to view you would want to have 8 sections across the top when 4 will do for your general overall title list...

I think you are at the wrong level. If I understood xocolatl correct he wants a column (or better, the possibility to show something as a column) in the list-view. Just as you now have Title, Collection Number, Media Type and many more, he just needs an additional column that shows in which collection the title is.

And if you only know the small list of the standard-layout, e.g. the Showroom-Layout I use has a much bigger list-view:

Great idea. I often use the "All" list and a layout with the Collection List across the whole window, so it would be nice to have a column to show which group it belongs to.

Reasonable objection.

Let's say you had the categories ALL / Series with < 7 seasons / Series with 7 seasons / Series with > 7 seasons. He wants a column in ALL that shows in which category FlashForward: Season Two is.
