If I'm reading this right, you're suggesting that just adding "slip case" to case types is too generic, and we actually need more, more specific entries? If that's the case, then I like that idea a lot. I think you'd also need Thinpaks with slipcovers in the box set list. And to answer your question, a Steelbook is a single type case (basically it's a keepcase made out of metal). |

A checkbox would make this a great deal easier. I agree. I wonder if adding a CHECKBOX to indicate if there's a slipcase or not, as T!M has suggested elsewhere, would not resolve much (if not all) of the ongoing disputes here. The dropdown menu can then be reserved for what some call the "inner" packaging. |

| | Posted: | | | | The problem with moving the slip cover info to a checkbox is, what do we use for case type for parent profiles of box sets? |

| | Posted: | | | | I do see your point.
Just a thought: why not call it what it really is (physically, I mean): if it's a cardboard box, call it a cardboard box. If it's a fat keep case, call it keep case. If it's a digipak, call it digipak etc.
Trying to find a constructive solution - I have no intention of entering the arena of nitpicking here. |

You will then know that it has children in a specific case type, enclosed in a slip case. Alternately, make case type optional...then you could leave it blank and just tick the "Slip Case" checkbox. | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |
