Hello,
I have a problem and a Question. I searched the Forun, but didn't find an answer.

Problem:
When I change a DVD-Profile, I got the question, if I wan't to share now or later.
I deactivated this question by accident. I didn't find any option to reactivate this.
How can I reactivate the appearace of this Question ?

Question:
In the personalisation-menue in i can choose if a DVD is counted and if it gets a index-No.
I don't want to give Index-No's to Disks of a Boxed set and I don't wont DVD-P to count this discs.
Of course I can set this when I add a boxed set, but i sometimes forget.
Is it in some way possible to set preferences for DVD-P that disks in a diskset are not counted and don't get a Index-No by default.

Thank you

R.Leininger

Regarding Question 1):
- Open the registry editor (type "regedit" at the "Run" command).
- Browse to "HKEY_Current_User -> Software -> Invelos -> DVDProfiler"
- one Left-Click on "DVDProfiler
- In the right part of the window check for an entry named "ContributePrompt"
- Right-Click on it an choose "Change..."
- Set value to "1"
- Close the registry editor

Done

Regarding Question 2):
Currently there is no way to set these preferences.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Actually when right-clicking on "ContributePrompt" what you select is "Modify" not "Change". Just thought I'd clarify. No biggie...apples and oranges. You'll also have to restart DVD Profiler for the modification to take effect.

Ahh,
thanks!
I'm using the localized German version of Windows, so I had to take a wild guess on how it might be called in the US-version.

Yes. What's the difference between "ContributePrompt" in the registry and "Contribute/Never Contribute" in the program?

After editing a profile and clicking OK, a prompt ("ContributePrompt") opens up asking if you wish to contribute your changes now or maybe "wait till later". If you click on "wait till later" the Contribute icon will remain active so that you can go back to that profile later and right click on the icon to "Contribute" it or "Never Contribute" it. If you click on "Never Contribute" it just greys out the icon so that it can't be contributed until the next time you make changes to that profile and the icon becomes active again. Personally, I find the Contribute Prompt rather pointless and annoying. It just saves a step if you plan to contribute your changes immediately after editing the profile. Instead of having to right click on the icon and selecting contribute, the prompt opens up after editing and you click on contribute.

When you save a profile after editing, a 'Contribute DVD' pop-up is displayed.  In that pop-up, there is an option to tell the program to "Don't as me again."  My guess is he ticked that option, by accident, and now wants to have it back.  I am a bit surprised that there isn't a 'restore default' option built into the program and you have to go in and edit the registry.

You can always contribute, even if the icon is greyed out. Now that I think about it the prompt is a reasonable beginner's reminder.

Guess I ticked "Don't ask me again" a long time ago and forgot about it.

It works as you two say, curiosity satisfied, thank you, Sirs.

You're right. The icon is just grayed out telling you there are no recent changes to the profile. If it isn't then that just tells you that there were changes to the profile. Thanks for correcting me .
