| | Posted: | | | | Since we're actively working on a beta and the polls showed pretty much what I thought they would, I'll go ahead and make the request official (again).
We would like to add the following to the case type choices.
Steel Book
Elite
Thin Pak
Add a check box for those wrap-around-open-on-two-ends "Slip Cover" (sleeves).
Change "Box Set" to "Slip Case" | | | | Dan | | | | Last edited: by Dan W |

Change "Box Set" to "Slip Case" Does this mean every Digipak will suddenly change to being a box set? I've never yet seen a Digipak that doesn't have some kind of slipcase/box to stop it falling open. Or are we going to have lots of 'fun' trying to explain that a slipcase doesn't necessarily mean a slipcase? | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

Well, then they are actually mislabeled right now. I believe I have two digipaks without the Slip Case: Panic Room The Ben Stiller Show | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

Panic Room
The Ben Stiller Show There is also... All in the Family: Season 1 (if I remember correctly) The Dead Zone: Season 1 All seasons of Everybody Loves Raymond (though a different style of digipaks) | | | | Pete |

Change "Box Set" to "Slip Case" I don't think we should handle Slip Cover different than Slip Case. Either handle both as check boxes (resp. radio buttons) or not. |

| | Posted: | | | | Rho, the problem with that is, they are already handled differently as Slip Cases are currently added as Box Set while Slip Covers aren't added at all | | | | - Jan |

Or are we going to have lots of 'fun' trying to explain that a slipcase doesn't necessarily mean a slipcase? "Slip Case" and "Slip Cover" are not the same thing and typically, they are not used same way. They are clearly illustrated in the Case Types thread. Those Digipaks will still be listed as Digipaks and the Keep Cases will not change either. What will change is that we will click a checkbox to indicate that it came with a "Slipcover\Sleeve". If it didn't come with one then you don't click the Checkbox. | | | | Dan |

Since we're actively working on a beta... What, version 3.03 is still a Beta? What is going to be the final release? 3.1, 3.5 or 4.0? Oh wait, I will step into my Delorean and I will investigate this issue...  | | | Martin Zuidervliet

Rho, the problem with that is, they are already handled differently as Slip Cases are currently added as Box Set while Slip Covers aren't added at all I know that they are handled differently now. But actually they are similar. Both are an outer package around the inner case (keep case or digipack). Therefore if Ken adds a mechanism to declare the outer and inner packaging, it should be used for both kinds. And the child profiles do not solve this, because there are also slip cases with single movie sets. |

| | Posted: | | | | How about a little cover example preview feature or some examples in the online help of the program?
I am also a bit confused with all the options, especially with the box set that is a sleeve. Box sets can be really weird, i.e. the Matrix with the head or my Incredibles from Asia with the Jack-Jack doll in it (the picture on the database is horrible for that, by the way, I have to do a scan, the box set is huge so it is not easy at all, won't fit my scanner, that is for sure :-). | | | | Last edited: by Bartman |
