| | Posted: | | | | Almost all the TV child profiles. I've started to use the 'what i bought' -system. Saved all the child profiles cover scans to the gallery and added all cast/crew to the parent (if it wasn't already there). Looks neat  |

| | Posted: | | | | There are tags for "What I bought", you know.  Generally speaking, I've put more work in the child profiles than I ever did in the parents because they are the things I actually watch. | | | Karsten

There are tags for "What I bought", you know. With that i didnt mean functionality in the program, but a way profiles are handled by a group of people. Some add all discs, some add "what they bought". Quoting DJ Doena: Quote:

Virtually all other info can be incorporated to the parent. Much nicer this way. | | | | Last edited: by whispering |

| | Posted: | | | | I personally like the ability to use the watched by per disc. As I usually watch a disc and then put the set up a while. This way when I go back to the set I know exactly where I left of by what disc has a watched date. I also like having... as you said... the ability to know what extras are on which disc. Then I like having the overviews with the episode plots. The cast and crew in easier manageable groups is also a big plus for me. I also use a what you bought system... as the only thing that gets numbered is the actual item I bought. So I only number the parent profile. But all that is neither here nor there. You found you are happier with just the main (parent) profile I am happy for you! Everyone has their favorite ways of doing it!  | | | | Pete |

I personally like the ability to use the watched by per disc. I tried using it once, but i always forgot to add it in the program. I have a tag for unwatched though. So now i have a list on the parents comments section which discs i haven't watched yet. The big credits lists is still something I'm pondering on. One season is not a big deal, but e.g. my Farscape set has all 4 season on single discs (...and not seasons, as in e.g. the Stargate SG-1 set), so thats one set I've still kept the child profiles in. |

| | Posted: | | | | What about "movie boxsets"? Surely you didn't delete all of those child profiles? | | | | Hal |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm in the middle of all this.
For live action TV shows loike Tales from the Cyrpt, I like having the child profiles all filled in.
For animated stuff like Simpsons or South Park, I prefer just parents with the cast and crew list attached.
Love the local locks! |

| | Posted: | | | | Since I watch several TV shows in parallell, I put a Post-It on the cover indicating next unwatched episode. So "2/3" would indicate disc 2, episode 3. It takes way too long to fire up my computer and start Profiler each time I've watched a TV episode... | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

Cast & Crew are only in the parent profile though. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

| | Posted: | | | | I use the collection number for what I bought. If it has one, I paid $$$ for it. Otherwise, it's a child of something I did pay $$$ for.
My high collection number is 778 so I know I purchased 778 items. Profile count is over 500 higher. I also order my collection numbers based on purchase date so they're in the order I bought them. | | | | Last edited: by Dr. Killpatient |
