So, I'm probably doing something totally wrong  , but I can't find the films in the Star Wars Trlogy as individual films.  So, I have the Trilogy Boxed Set in my list, but can't figure out how to add the individual films to the boxed set as they're not showing up when I search.

I didn't have this problem for the Indiana Jones Trilogy, so I'm curious if they are listed in a different way "A New Hope" instead of "Star Wars: A New Hope" etc.

Any pointers would be appreciated.  Cheers,

Dan

They are in the main database as :

Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope
Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

You must download the profiles to your local database before you can add them to the parent boxset profile.

If your computer has a DVD-ROM drive you can make it even easier by going under the Add To Collection -> Add Inserted Disc (tab) and then sticking in the actual DVDs.  It will read the DiscID of the inserted disc and will pull up the profile by that (since that is how child discs are typically added to the boxset profiles).

Then you just add the profiles as usual and download them.  Once download you open up the parent profile and go under the Boxset section and add the child profiles you just downloaded by DiscID and you're set.

For future reference, since you've already solved your original problem:

When you were trying to find the StarWars titles, did you try using the "substring" option while searching?  Sometimes when I can't find a title I know is in my database using the "substring" option helps root out irregular titles.
