Taiga: Anime List: "Start new rewatch" option in context menu

[ConnorKrammer]

For completed series, I think it would be nice to have an option that you can click to start a new rewatch. Here's the proposed process:

1. Right-click an anime on the completed list
2. Select "Start rewatch"/ " Start new rewatch"
3. Several things happen in the background:
   
   
   
   • the show is set as being in a rewatch (normally toggled via settings tab in the information view)
   
   
   • the episode watch count is set to 0
   
   
   • the anime is moved to the currently watching list
   
   
   • the first episode is opened in the default media player if it can be found locally
   
   

This makes it the same number of steps to rewatch a show as it is to start a new one.

I also wonder if having a "cancel rewatch" option might be useful, but I don't know that doing that is a very common action.

Any updates on this? Would also appreciate if it was possible.

In addition it would be nice if the Status dropdown included "Rewatching".

Hi! I've been working on this feature since I'm a fan of it as well. @erengy Is this something that could be added, and if so, would something like this work?

Context menu:

Full workflows (each image is a "step") can be found here:

Error on rewatch when anime episodes cannot be found (identical to Play Random Anime error): https://imgur.com/a/EdMZ3YZ

Implemented:

• Context menu: Rewatch
• The show is set as being in a rewatch (normally toggled via settings tab in the information view)
• The episode watch count is set to 0
• The anime is moved to the currently watching list
• The first episode is opened in the default media player if it can be found locally

Not implemented:

• "In addition it would be nice if the Status dropdown included "Rewatching"."
• "Cancel rewatch"

I can send a PR and we can talk more about specifics (UI/code) if so.

That looks great.
