Removing removes the media completely. I don't think this is a valid alternative to incorrectly recognized media!

apply recognition to folder

When recognizing an episode of a tv series in a folder, boxee will ask the user if he/she wants to apply this recognition to all files in the folder. When adding another episode of the series, boxee does not recognize this file as another episode of the same series.

Expected: Once a user has agreed to apply recognition to all files in a folder, adding a media file to that folder with the same naming convention should be automatically recognized as another episode of that series when the user has agreed to apply such automatic recognition to that folder.

recognize

When a media file is incorrectly recognized, boxee has a wrong video feature but I find that when going through this process boxee requires that it fully recognizes the media file for what it should be or it will refuse to remove the current recognition.

Expected: Boxee will allow the user to remove the recognition and thus generate automatic thumbnails for the media file if that preference is turned on.

recognize

When using the recognition feature boxee will not place a media file into movies or tv shows unless it can fully recognize the file.

Expected: When a user tells boxee that a media file is a tv show, that file will be placed in tv shows regardless of wether boxee is able to complete the full recognition of that file.

I have allot of documentaries very few of which boxee is able to recognize. It does not make sense that boxee will not put them into the tv shows category even after I have clicked on the tv shows button during the recognition process.

A most annoying "feature".

Log out to switch to lower power graphics card? Lame!

Energy save graphics settings should be modified to allow the setting to change automatically from higher performance to better battery.

Having to log out just to switch to the lower power graphics card is lame. There must be a better way!

Quicklook in open and save dailogues!

Strange that quicklook does no function in open and save dialogue boxes. Seems like an obvious addition to the functionality. Apple should seriously consider adding this.

I seem to have solved the issue for myself at least. Check your keychain with the keychain access app. My system show the internet section to be empty. I ran the repair function and all the internet entries magically reappeared.

Safari seems to be remembering my site logins and passes again. Give it a try, it might work for you.

Auto login preference

Auto Login preference.
I have only one account on boxee and don't intend to create anymore. I would really like the option of having boxee automatically log me in on launch.

One less click is always a good thing.
