When I download the new child profiles in the latest Profiler program version, it assigns them to the box set without any collection numbers. This works for me for box sets where to contents are not separately packaged movies, but I have a different need when the box set consists of individually packaged titles, for example with the James Bond Collections or the Planet of the Apes Evolution set. Here, what I would like to do is remove the collection number from the parent box set profile and assign collection numbers to the individual titles. In my logic at least, this makes sense for collection numbering purposes since I could throw away the box and still have individually packaged keep cases of each film, unlike box sets where the films must remain in one digipak box set case, in which case I treat the parent as the only one with a collection number. So, the problem is, what is the best way to do this when I have well over a hundred box sets that must now be renumbered in this manner? It seems there is no automated way to do this. Even if I manually go and remove the collection number on each parent profile, I find no way to flag and automate renumbering of the child profiles. The "renumber collection" option doesn't seem to have a setting to renumber only flagged profiles unless I am missing it. If I use the option to renumber all profiles without a collection number, it would end up assigning numbers to the parent profile as well, I assume. Any suggestions?

struggling with the same problem at the moment. Why are the boxset (as only a position) is a counted DVD?
My intention is, to have only the physical existing DVDs counted. Is there an existing solution?

yes, that’s what I've done already!
What I mean is, when adding a boxset (may be it's a clean database) with two DVDs, I have now 3 DVDs in my collection (counted on top of the collection list). But I only have two. That’s not what I have expected

ok, am I right: it is not possible to see only the really physical existing DVDs in the counter on top of the collection list? I understand it is possible to activate a filter for an already flagged boxset (manually added). After activating that filter I see still the count of three (regarding my last example) but now "filtered" two. That’s stupid!
As a result I have to have in my mind the actual number of boxset’s, just to have an idea how many really existing DVDs I have in my collection - or I have to activate the filter any time!

yes, at the end of a more than 500 items long list, but not on top. That's not verry easy to handle!

Hi Karsten,

yes you're right, but ...
I give up, but I don’t understand why they are counting an empty boxset. What is the reason to uncheck the boxset for numbering, and give them a number in total account?

Everyone is using the collection number for different purposes and in a different way. Some give a collection number to the box set, some to the movies inside, some number season boxes, some season discs.

Hi Karsten,

I suppose so!

Thanks
