Separators Default Metadata Files
Separators are a special form of collections which are used similar to index cards in a library, they help to "split up" collections by identifying categories (such as "Studio Collections" and "Holiday Collections").
These are empty collections which do not contain any movies/shows themselves, but highlight that the collections which follow it are of a certain category.
Below is an example of a separator, which can be seen surrounded by a red square.
Separators are enabled by default, but can be disabled/enabled per-file and per-library.
