Wasn't sure whether to put this in The Org Redesign or not, so move it to the applicable thread if you like, mods.
Let's see if I can explain this clearly...
You know how we have a Favorite AMVs list on our profile? If memory serves, the list only goes up to 100 videos, and only those videos for which we've left an opinion can be ranked upon it. Here's the thing... I keep WAY more than 100 videos in my permanent collection, and actually, I'm less likely to leave an opinion for something I really liked, because I typically have no suggestions for improvement (and gushing fanpraise can be left in a quick comment just as well, I think).
Now, everyone and their grandma has had to hear me whine about my epic hard drive crash and the subsequent loss of my whole AMV collection. I was thinking, "Man, it would be nice if I could have just clicked some button on the video info pages to tag videos that I kept, and then have that be an option in the (Donator's) Super Search. It would really cut down on this searching-through-8000+-Already-Downloaded-Local-AMVs business."
I just know that someone is going to bring up the "Video Queue" function that we already have, but it's not quite the same. You could sort of use it for that purpose, but I don't know how many videos you can queue in total, and what happens when I actually go to use it for its intended purpose? Great, now I have one un-downloaded AMV swimming in a list of who-knows-how-many already-downloaded videos. (I'm guessing on the functionality here, since I've never actually put that feature to work.)
So how about it? I can't be the only one who would use something like that. I mean, for me right now, it's more like shutting the barn door after the cows are already out (AKA: wish I would have thought of this before I lost everything), but it would be a great help should I ever experience this kind of catastrophic failure again.
I realize that in the Big Picture overhaul of this site, this is something really minor and not a priority at all right now, but I wanted to throw it out there. Thanks for the consideration.
