In DVD profiler you have 3 tabs at the top of the DVD list All, Owned, Ordered, and Wish list. It would be great to divide owned into Owned DVD, Owned Blue Ray and Owned HD DVD. This way you can click the tab quickly to see which titles are BD HD DVD or regular DVD.

If tabs would be user configurable, this request would not be needed.

Well, "MyTabs" is at least 2-3 times more work than I thought. So, I have a Beta available to test the waters if could be useful to anybody before I decide whether to finish it. Obviously I put in stuff that is most useful to me - just in case there is no demand from others. To get it, go to www.mediadogg.com and logon to the Beta Testers Only page, using ID = mytabs, password = beta.

Ok, what the Beta will do:

- Create a dockable "MyTabs" window
- Define "Unlimited" tabs - each with it's own label and filter
- Optional DVD profile display from selection within tab
- Optional "Auto Refresh" when collection window changes (not everything)
- Two fixed columns and two customizable
- The customizable columns can be from any of about 100 database / related fields
- Columns can be resized, switched in order and sorted A/D
- Copy flags from any tab to main collection (to get reports, etc.)
- Flags set/clear/invert
- Tabs persist across sessions
- Attempting to track style colors - incomplete at the moment
- Added main collection flag tracking as a tab property

Each tab can have filter. The filter can be enabled/disabled. The filter will have two parts:

(1) Main filter defined and saved from collection window. This can be separately enabled/disabled.  (Not available in Beta)

(2) Supplemental filter applied on top of the main filter. Supplemental filter can be seperately enabled/disabled. Initial fields:

- Collection type equal /not equal
- Tag (not) equal / (not) contains / (not) not empty

(Beta ANDs the results, but the design calls also for OR)

You will see Location, Slot, Notes, Eggs and RunTime - but the code is incomplete and disabled in the beta.

Some examples of what you can do:

- Set up a tab for tracking "For Sale" items
- Set up a tab for WishList - Mom's Gifts ( Collection = WIshlist, TAG contains "mom")
- Set up a tab that tracks flagged items in the main collection. Click to select.
- Customizable "Double click" - but I need ideas for what to put in
- Manage flags within each tab, and copy flags to Main Collection to run reports, save XML, etc.

There is a tab editor and supplemental filter editor , and all tab and filter settings are saved across sessions.

Don't expect any blazing speed.

Looking forward to your feedback, comments, suggestions.
