This is a feature request for both the desktop version as well as the IOS version:

We currently use slipcovers as the cover scan for profiles that have one at the release. However, I have many where the slipcover art is very different from the underlying regular cover (e.g. Iron Man Blu-ray where the slipcover is Iron Man and the cover beneath it is Tony Stark).

It would be nice if we could scan and enter both, with as default only the slipcover visilble. Then, depending on the OS version we can see the underlying regular cover:
- desktop: click on the cover after expanding it: a small animation moves the slipcover upwards and reveals the underlying regular cover. Click again to slide the slipcover back on
- IOS: after zooming on the cover, slide upwards to reveal underlying regular cover and slide downward to put slipcover back on

Interesting idea.

I thought I had an alternative solution, but it still needs a change in the program.

If you download this cover, which is for the Angel boxset. It has the covers for the 3 movies inside the digipac. I created an animated gif for the front cover, and the 3 dfiferent movie covers. If you open this gif in a webbrowser, you should see an endless loop of the 4 images.

Now you can select a GIF as an image source for a cover in DVD profiler. Sadly enough, as soon as you select an animated GIF, DVD profiler crashes, so it's incapable of rendering the animation.

While I like the idea so a +1 from me... at this point I would be happy if you could just have both (all) versions of the cover available to be used. This would help if you didn't get the slip cover with your copy or if you have a re-release cover.

+ I would also add the German Wendecovers and other alternate covers which are included in some releases.
One discussion point less + more freedom for the user.

Taro, you're really thinking outside the box!
Can animated GIFs be used in the program?

Sadly no, see my post above. I created an animated gif with 4 covers. As soon as you select it in DVD Pro, and click ok, the application crashes.
