Watched/Unwatched indicator/history

After using my K system a bit over the holiday, I'm not finding any indication of whether we've watched or not watched a movie. Am I just missing this?

Seems like there is opportunity to mark watched content with some tag, icon, or text (including date/time) on device and in the apps/web as well.
 
There is a “Watch Soon” collection that if you add new titles to this collection they automatically get deleted from that collection once you reach the end of a movie.

Yeah, this is something that I think K could handle better. I watch any and all bonus features for movies. Some films have a lot so it may span multiple viewing sessions. There is no indicators on which ones you've watched, nor does it resume a bonus features if you stopped in the middle of one. This can make for a somewhat frustrating experience.
 
Oh yeah! Now that you mention it, one of my favorite features of my old Boxee Box was that when browsing movie folders in list view, it would show a simple check mark next to movies that have been watched. Was really handy for keeping track of what I still needed to check out.

Maybe that'd be an elegant way to do it since I don't want anything cluttering up my covers screen. Maybe just have those little checkmarks when in list view, and have it as a selectable option at that.

I could be wrong, but I'd be willing to bet that there's already an underlying piece of the programming that keeps track of this data, so it seems like it wouldn't be that hard for them to tweak the interface a bit to add a feature like this. Would love to see this sort of a feature in a future kOS update. ^_^
