I would like, (ore maybe its already possible) multiple options on each sort string.
Now i have the optie to create a sort string on movies ore on tv shows and connect them to a categories.
I would like to do it the other way arround so that you can create a sort string for each categories.
That would be very usefull i cases where u use a nmt in combinatie with YAMJ where Yamj automaticly creates specific dvd, hd, tvshow covers fore wile extensions like _bluray _DVD _TV _HDTV and so on.
So for example i have the categories;
Categories                  Location
dvd - movies              \\QUIKSOFTWHS\Videos\-=Movies=-\DVD Movies
hd - movies                \\QUIKSOFTWHS\Videos\-=Movies=-\HD Movies
dvd - tv shows            \\QUIKSOFTWHS\Videos\-=Tv Shows=-\DVD TV Shows
hd - tv shows              \\QUIKSOFTWHS\Videos\-=Tv Shows=-\HD TV Shows

So the  for movie_sort_string  and tv_sort_string would be;
Categories                  String
dvd - movies              movie_sort_string = %title/%title_DVD.%ext
hd - movies                movie_sort_string = %title/%title_BluRay.%ext
dvd - tv shows            tv_sort_string = %sn/Season %s/%sn S%0sE%0e  %en_TV.%exts
hd - tv shows              tv_sort_string = %sn/Season %s/%sn S%0sE%0e  %en_HDTV.%ext

Hopefully some one can realize this extra function.

Thanks in advanced.

You cannot do that now and I think it's too complex to add it (even UI-wise).
However in release 0.6.0 there will be a pre-queue user script
that allows you to manipulate the title of the job.
That way you can add text tags bases on category.
