Categories

What it is for

A category is a library of your own inside Kaveo — Movies, Series, or anything you like — naming the folders and kinds of content it holds, so you can go straight to the part of your collection you want.

How to use it

Visit a category

1. Click a category’s name at the top of the library.
2. Browse its own rows, narrowed to what belongs there.
3. Pick a source in the bar underneath to narrow further.

Create and manage one

1. Open Settings › Library › Categories, type a name under New category name, and click Add.
2. Beside Accepts:, tick which kinds of content it holds — none ticked means everything.
3. Click Add folder… to give it a folder to scan, or Remove beside its name to delete it.

Good to know

• Changes apply at once — there is no Save, and Revert cannot undo them.
• Removing a category never touches the files on disk.
• A server’s library is mapped into a category from its connection wizard.
• An empty category says why: a folder it cannot read is named, with Edit the category beside it.
• When the categories do not all fit at the top, the last ones fold into More; a long name is cut after a whole word.
• On a title’s page, the category it belongs to is the one lit at the top.
