[Request] Change "watching season" view to just show the season number after completing a season.

[LoganJFisher]

Idea Overview
Right now, you can mark a season as complete, which will make a show appear with something like "Season 3" on its poster card, but if you mark individual episodes as complete, you get something like "S3E12" instead. The latter is incredibly useful as you're watching an ongoing season, but once that season is marked as complete it would be helpful to have it switch to just say "Season 3" instead, as if you hadn't marked individual episodes at all. That would accommodate forgetfulness, as something I can't remember if I finished the season of a show that I was watching as it released, so I waste time going into that show's page to confirm that I've indeed marked all episodes of that season as complete.

Ideally, this should also be coupled with an indicator when there are new or unwatched episodes (e.g. a colored corner on the poster), but I believe that has already been proposed before.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I can't always remember if I've finished the most recent season of a show, so I end up wasting time going into that show's page on Watcharr to check, as there is no indication of this from the home page when looking at the show's poster card.

Describe the solution you'd like
Once all episodes in a season are complete, "watching season" view should show on the poster card as "Season X" rather than " SaEb" as it does now.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could delete a show and then just mark the season as complete, but that seems like a roundabout way of doing what I'm seeking.

Hi @LoganJFisher, thanks for submitting this idea.

If I remember correctly, this extra detail for posters, might have no idea if for example E12 is the last in the specific season, so it just stays on there.

You mentioned a good way around this, just to show the "Season 3" text, if the whole season has been marked watched, which (i think) should work, though i wonder if it may introduce confusion (ex: Season marked complete, but some random episode in season still has no status).

I wonder what you think, maybe we just need more logic to check for that edge case, or maybe it's a case we can ignore?

[LoganJFisher]

Do you mean like if a season has 8 episodes and I marked 1-5 and 7-8 as watched, but didn't mark 6 as watched?

Then, it shouldn't display as finished unless the user overrides by manually marking the season as watched (as can already be done). While most people watch most shows in episode release order, there are some shows that people like to use shuffle functions for, like travel guide shows or some heavily episodic shows.

I suppose a simple way of doing this would be to swap priority between watch labels. Right now, episodes being marked as watch hold priority over seasons being marked as watched. That could just be reversed and I think that would solve everything.

Thank you for your response @LoganJFisher, that does make sense, swapping them around does sound like it should work.
