| | Posted: | | | | I've filled in purchase dates of all DVDs added since I started using Profiler but I have no idea of the dates of the existing ones. As a result, about a 3rd of my collection have purchase dates of around mid July 2007.
I don't bother with price or place of purchase. |

I mean't if you just want to fill the gaps and/or remove duplicates. I use collection numbers for trailers so I wouldn't dare use reassign in case it changed the existing numbers  .
*cough* ^^ *cough* I already said I'm also using the collection numbers as trailer filenames, but I still number them in order of purchase so that's no reason against that. | | | | - Jan |

curious to know from others here.., How many of you have every one of your dvd purchases with the date purchased/price paid/ and where you bought it? I do, thankfully. Its a pleasure to look at statistics that use this data. | | | | - Jan |

| | Posted: | | | | Fair enough, each to their own. I just don't see the point of having 2 fields doing the same job. |

Fair enough, each to their own. I just don't see the point of having 2 fields doing the same job. It's not the same job. The number is unique which allows for hassle free sorting and a couple other things that might run into problems with multiple titles purchased on the same day. Also, the online option only allows sorting by title and by number. Besides, I'm not losing any info or functionality compared to your approach... | | | | - Jan |

| | Posted: | | | | I use the profile Id for my TV Show trailers (e.g. 7321921228551.5_01.avi). This way I can embed them in a HTML window directly in the program | | | Karsten
