| | Posted: | | | | I have DVD's that have more than one disc yet show up as only one - how do I create "children" discs under the main title so that the main "title" is listed but not counted as one, rather the 2 or more content discs are profiled and each counted numerically in the database? Thanks! |

Thanks! I know of two ways, but there may be others. There is so much new stuff in 3.6.1 that I lost track. (1) You can do it manually. (Duh, of course you knew that.) (2) You can use the plugin "BulkEdit" - there is a menu called "Collection\Flagged\Clone Children from DiscIDs" that I made in response to a user request. It was awhile ago. If you want to use that, make sure the result complies with the Rules for making child profiles (let me know if there is a violation - I'lll fix the plugin someday). Of course if the profiles will not be contributed, and only local, my comment about the Rules does not apply. If there are other ways, somebody will come along and tell us ... | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | If you only want the profile to count as more than one, you can also use the new "Count As" option - I think it's under Personalise - and change it to whatever you want.
if you want full profiles then Mediadogg's option I think is the best way to go. |
