Yes, but not everybody is thinking that ^^

I like your idea. In fact Ken allows himself to improve the program, but for some users, improving rules is forbidden... Rules are above everything... even common sense.

I like them too and I really don't understand why anyone would want to use the same cover art multiple times.

Improving/updating rules is a good thing. I'm sure that most users could name at least one thing that they would like to see added/amended. However, the current rules don't allow what he was trying to do. If they are ever changed to allow it, then the responses here would almost certainly be very different.

Because a "cover" is just that:  the (front and back) covers of the box the disc came in.  If all the discs are in one box, there is one cover.  They aren't "disc" images, they're "cover" images.

Just like everything there will be 2 groups... one that likes it one way (as rules are now) and one that likes it another (the way nimrod85 likes it). Who is to say if or when something should change... and then if it does change and we get people on the other side complaining... does it then have to be looked at to be changed back?

No matter how the rules says it has to be... it will not satisfy everyone. In my opinion his images are terrible for cover images... and 2 of the images can't even be considered covers in any sense of the word since they are of the discs themselves. But that being said... I downloaded his images anyway... even though I would never consider them for the cover images... I will keep them in the gallery window for addition images.

Since I don't care about the parent profile, I'm happy that the children do as well have the scans of the cover and not scans of some arbitrary inner part of the package, booklet, or discs.

When I get around to working on this title myself, I'll probably keep the front cover on the child profiles and replace the back cover with the inside pic for the individual film.  But since that is not contemplated by the rules, I will not submit them.


Well, this is an interesting thought.  The rule says, "If a film is individually packaged, use the cover images from that packaging."

If the inner packaging has a back, but not a front, can we use the back from the inner and the front from the outer?

The sticking point there I think is the word "individually". Some users here don't consider a digipak as individual packaging because it holds more than one disc.

See, I said people could find areas where it would be ideal to update the rules

I personally see "individually packaged" as having a boxset that then has separate boxes within. These could house more than one disc. However, I can see it as north said that some would see it other ways.

It's even possible to break the rule - as long as all the other owners of that disc agree with you.

For example. There are a number of german westerns that were sold as three movies in a digipak. The box itself has the cover images of the box:



The discs however use neither cover art nor inside pictures of the digipak (and it even has some). But some user has scanned the original movie posters from the booklet. It was contributed, got accepted and no one ever tried to change it.








But I would never vote against someone who would contribute the real covers and is thus well within the rules.

And that remembers me a recent very wise remark from northbloke:

I agree, it's refreshing sometimes to have someone with a new outlook on the rules and the database, to point out flaws we've missed or learned to live with.
