Multiple Specials Folders?

I am aware that special television episodes can be posted to a special folder called Season 00. I currently use this arrangement for the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror specials. What I would LIKE to also do is have whatever Christmas specials that have been created placed in a separate folder to retain the appropriate xml data without lumping both Halloween and Christmas episodes within the same folder. Is this possible? If not, then it might be worthy of a feature request (not sure how hard the coding effort would be?)

it should be possible. just create a random folder underneath the series folder, then lock it so that the server won't try to fill it with internet metadata.

You're right about whatever is in the folder MUST match what the TV Database says..AND technically, the Treehouse of Horror episodes are regular episodes, so I have to place the files in the regular season folders, wait for Media Center Master to scrape the info, then copy the xml data back to the Season 0 metadata folder. If I were to treat the Treehouse episodes (OR Christmas episodes  etc.) as a boxed set collection, I can see that I'd be saving myself a lot of time and effort while retaining the info. The only thing that I would sacrifice is the ability to play back all episodes as one playlist as they would be in the original folders.
