Actually, in the collection list, we have 4 tabs :
All, Own, WishList, Ordered

Would it be possible to customize these tabs ?
I never use the "Ordered" tab, so, I would like to remove it, or at least, be able to hide it.
And, I have DVD's that I sold, but I want to keep it on my collection to have an history of the DVD's that I had.

If we could add, remove, hide, view the tabs, it would be great.

No it  would not be possible, nor I suspect will it be, since those are fields that specifically part of the Online database. You could use the tag system which is part of the Personal data that remains locally only.

Actually, I'd love to see just one more tab added,

For Sale...

Then I could move all the DVD's I am trying to sell to that tab and when I have my IPAQ at work, I can show that tab to co-workers. Better than printing out a text list.

I would love to see & have the For Sale option too, and/or For Trade.

My collection of 150 or so is miniscule compared to others.  For those that have thousands of DVDs in their collections, I would imagine that they have some which they bought but which turned out to be lemons.  The For Sale and/or For Trade tab would give them the ability to list any DVDs which they no longer have an interest in.

How are the "Owned", "Ordered" and "Wishlist" categories part of the online database?
I think the ability to hide one or more of these should be a possible option - I would have no use for such an option, but it seems to me to be a reasonable feature request.

I would also like a fifth tab which should only contain items I own or owned. Customizable tab name would be good. It should not be possible to contribute items in this list, obviously! Nor should it be subject for voting. An additional field in personalization for a price would be great.

How are these fields part of the "online database"?

These fields are part of the "Online collection view", they are not used unless someone uploads their collection to the site, that has notning to do with any database.

You can rename those tabs using a translation file. You create a new translation file, and you "translate" "Ordered" by "Sold", for example. Very simple and it works fine...

thats an interesting take on this... but it would not reflect in the online database, so if you changed "ordered" to "to be sold" - it would appear as if you just ordered stuff you want to sell...

Yes, it would look strange in your collection list, but, that's all it is, a list of your collection. Those tabs do not get contributed to the online DB as soem would have you believe.

very aware they don't get contributed... however... im just saying while that translation file workaround is great for the local, it wont do you much good if you use your online collection for people to look at...

invelos takes so much user "text" from profile and stores it separate on the server just for them, i don't see how implementing a name your own tab field couldn't be integrated...

One of the useful features in the software done by the Dutch guys who own Collectorz is that they include a number of user-definiable fields - some single value and some lookup fields.  This might be a way to handle the Profiler issues.
