[Kavita] Feature Suggestion: Dynamic Collections

[zelestcarlyone]

Idea Description

It would be useful to have Dynamic Collections, which work similarly to Smart Filters.

For example, I’ve tagged certain comics with the genre/tag Crossover. Currently, I would need to manually maintain a "Crossovers" collection. With Dynamic Collections, any new comic matching the selected metadata would automatically be added to that collection.

Proposed behavior

• Create a Collection as normal.
• Add an additional tab where one or more existing Smart Filters can be attached.
• The Collection should automatically include comics matching those filters.
• Duplicates should be discarded.
• Users can still manually add individual series/issues as exceptions/outliers.

This way, collections stay automatically updated while still allowing manual curation.
