When I move a parent profile by right-clicking and use "move to > category", the child profiles go along, but when I flag the parent profile and use the top menu "collection > flagged > move to > category", the child profiles stay in the old category. Shouldn't they accompany the parent profile?

I believe that's as designed – or maybe nobody has ever complained about it

Seems to me that moving a single parent profile and moving a checked parent profile ought to accomplish the same thing. I don't see any point in handling them differently...

I have box-sets where not all the child profiles fit into the custom category(ies). If this were to change, there needs to be an option on which method to use.

I didn't realize that if i selected just the parent to move the program would take the children with it.  That's good to know.

My normal method has been to flag the parent and all the children and do a flagged move.

I'd be highly irritated if i did a Flagged action on explicitly selected profiles (the parent) and discovered it was doing the same thing to unflagged profiles...regardless of the profile relationships.

Are you still talking about moving profiles here? I didn't test, but I could well imagine that moving through categories takes the children with the parent (as it should IMHO), but doing something else doesn't.

I've tried this both ways in my collection.

Flagging a profile, and just right clicking a profile.

It didn't, with either option, take the child profile along to the new custom category.

Which I personally believe it how it should work.

For example (the most recent example in my collection): The Blind Side blu-ray profile. It comes with DVD and a Digital Copy. I have the BD as the parent profile, and the DVD as the child profile. I don't want the separate DVD child to move along with the BD parent to my custom collection of Blu-ray, just the BD parent profile, and that's what the program does. It'd be kind of a pain for the program to automatically move the DVD child along with the parent, when it doesn't belong in the category.

For me at the moment, the program works the way I would want it to. To move the children profiles, I believe they should each separately have to be moved. The child profiles might not meet the required criteria one has for their custom categories (as with the Blu-ray/DVD profile mentioned above).

Of course, maybe this has something to do with the options set in the custom category collections?
The night is calling. And it whispers to me soflty come and play.

Yes, i was referring to moving profiles.  I don't think profiles that are NOT flagged should be impacted in any way by what happens to the flagged ones.

Actually I prefer it to work that way.

If I want to move parent and child profiles, I simply right-click the parent and click move, and everything goes.

If I want to move just the parent, or just one of the children then I flag the ones I want moved.

I have many TV box sets where I have a combination of Blu-ray and SD DVDs.  I keep all of my BDs in a custom collection, which means the children are split up.

I think it's useful to be able to move them independent of the parent.

I understand. I agree with Hal on this one (post above this one).
