request: add a randomly-generated tag to the metadata

[Masked-Kunsiquat]

Hi there, I love your plugin! Definitely helps make my library cleaner.

Like others, I have struggled with doubles of movies/shows after merging.

My workaround is as follows:

• select one of the movie files (that were registered as a double for versions)
• add the tag - "hidden"
• for each of my user's parental control, they cannot see "hidden"

Duplicates out of sight!

I was wondering if this could be automated into the plugin?

Possibly with a randomly-generated [string] tag that can be displayed on the plugin settings page.
I figured randomly-generated to avoid conflicts (maybe the movie 'Hidden Figures' already has a hidden tag on all files, for example).
This would ensure only the files the plugin has identified will be hidden.

Thanks again for this great project! (:

Hi,

If I've understood correctly, you want to tag every version except one. This means if there are 2 versions, only one will be tagged, and if there are 4 versions, 3 of them will be tagged.

Is that correct?

hi there, thanks for responding!

yes, that's correct!

it's a rather clunky workaround, but it's been working well for me so far.

if there's an easier method, that require you adding this, I'm happy to learn!
