For example cases with numbered sleeves
Once the first case of 52 is filled the second case of prenumbered sleeves starts with 1 again
Would be convenient if Profiler could be set to start at B1 for the next case instead of 53.

BK:

If I understand you correctly. You can do this already, though you can't use alpha characrters.
Instead of assigning an alpha, assign a number. So you would get 153, 253, 353, etc.

Skip,

You are saying skip from 53 to 200 start the next sequence at 201 signifying second case disk 1.

How do I stop the numbers in between from automatically filling in so I don't have to keep changing the collection number each time?

You simply change the number otr tell the syetm NOT to assign a number and then you assign it... simple.

Case 1 Disc 1 could be 101 and so forth ot whatever sequence you wnat to use...as long as YOU understand what you are doing.

Point is I don't want to have to input anything but title add and done and allow Profiler to input the next number in the series.

Instead of requesting the collection number to be changed to support encoding the location/slot fields into it, what about requesting the whatever feature you are missing from the location/slot fields are added?

That is why I put this post in the feature "requests" area.
Thank you for the replies Skip. I know you are trying to help.
I appreciate that.

The feature request I requested is a way to take into account DVD cases that have prenumbered DVD holders so that when one case is full that there is a way for the automatic collection number to still work while somehow starting again at case 2 disk 1 and then automatically adding the next number for each DVD that is added until the second case is full etc. If the same thing can be done with the location/ slot fields that would only increase the ease of use of the program and take into consideration that everyone has to be putting their DVD's somewhere. I personally prefer DVD cases.

If I am the only person that thinks this would be a usefull feature then the request wouldn't be granted. If a lot of individuals want the feature then the request might be considered.

It's an interesting idea, as I too use a pre-numbered case for a lot of my DVDs and it would be great if I could automate the filling in of the location & slot fields.
But I'm thinking that interest may be too small to warrant a program update.
Do you think a plugin would do the job instead? Can anyone with plugin programming experience say whether this would be possible?

Very easy, but I'm in the middle of a "MyTabs" plugin prototype ... maybe somebody else will pick this one up. Otherwise, if there is no interest in "MyTabs", I can come back ...

Just in case, somebody does pick it up, you might want to start thinking about what the plugin would do - how would it work from a user perspective. That part is usually harder than the actual programming to get right, so a head start will help anybody who decides to do it.
Thanks for your support.
