We have 4 users at the club and we wnt each to have there own folder system but don't want 400 virtual folders showing. Is ther a way to nest virtual folders like windows explorer tree so we can have somthing like "James Music" and then my folder system treed below it and then "Brians Music" and his floder system tree'd below that?
If possible then when your folder tree is open there will only be the 3 extra folders (main folders for the other three Djs) on any given persons night instead of each persons 100 or so folders all in a column.

All four guys have a folder, right click on theirs that night, remove from favorites. Only yours will show that night.

+18 for me.
This is one of my biggest gripes with VDJ and it's folder system. (I'm a brand new user) Everything else can get Nested (Computer, iTunes, History and even Playlists) I've mentioned this in a few threads already such as
http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/114461/General_Discussion/Playlists_vs_Virtual_Folders_-_Preference_.html
As a wedding/special event jock (coming from PCDJ) i've got about 40-50 folders and don't like the over-scrolling that i'll have to be doing. But, your situation is even worse . . multiple users on the same system. Ouch.
IMO, this can be one of the biggest areas of improvement for managing our music. Imagine not only a top level nesting, but multi-level nesting. I've got 5 different "cocktail hour" mixes, but would love to hide all of those for once dinner or dancing starts. Or yea, in your case . . "i don't care what DJ Cheesy likes to play on Wednesday nights. Hide it all." Not even Playlists would overcome your problem, since you can't sub-nest them.
He's referring to Virtual Folders, not Favorites.

Problem is if you can't nest then each Dj has 30-40 folders (we're pretty anul about or organization) so that's A LOT of right clicking every night!

I think each user should have their own set-up. I.e. you can create new users for the program, each user signs in and even if you are using the same library the skin preference, config settings, virtual folders (nested), cue points (this is a biggy now as the Djs are cuing points to sample from and most of the skins only show 3-5 cue points) would all come up independent for each user.
This will also prevet the other users from accidentally overwriting cue points, etc. other Djs set.

Yeah, I would really appriciate this feature as well!!!!!!!!
I hope the developers know that it's a wanted feature. Right now I must have around 50 virtual folders and it's getting confusing!
Also, if they're thinking of updating the browsing section, it would be nice to have drag&drop re-ordering, or perhaps a dialogue box that pops up with some arrows on so then you can click on a virtual folder and then just keep pressing the up arrow until you have it in the place you want it.
Oh, and developers if you're reading, please sort the bug of virtual folders disappearing!

I like this idea!
Although, if you're the only user you can work around this by sorting your music on the HDD directly
