Its clear that i do not properly set up a multi disc collection. For example if I have a "season" release of something that contains 4 different disc's that make up that season.

Currently i log each disk separately, each with its own distinct collection number. It seems more correct to me to have a collection number for the 'set', then each individual disc would be the same number perhaps with a separate sub id added. like collection #252 contains #'s 252-a, 252-b, 251-c and so on.

I have played with several 'attempts', but not sure what the 'real' way to do it is, I'd like to update the collection correctly....

Thanks.....

You cannot have that exactly. A profile either has a collection number or none. But have you thought about creating a BoxSet?

It does exactly what you describe: you make the #252 profile a "parent" by assigning 252-a, 252-b, 251-c and so on, as its child profiles, using BoxSet Contents:



leading, for example, to:

In Tools / Options / Display there is a tick box where you can set how you want box sets displayed.

Moreover, when you add a box set to your collection, the program will ask you whether or not you want to accept child profiles. It works in such a way that there is a "parent profile" for the set as a whole and then "child profiles" for the individual movies or discs within that set.

You can control the adding child profile behavior in Tools / Options / Defaults - bottom right: Check for child profiles during add. There may be an option to set Collection Number to None by default somewhere, but I don't see it right now. If there isn't one, you have to remember to set Collection Number to None in the Personalize DVD section while adding new child profiles, and then you're fine.
