Is there any way I can not update the database on my laptop online?
I do not want to go get any information online.
Is inhibition possible?

As far as I know you have to have the online profile list downloaded in order to add profiles into your local database.

But once done, you don't have to keep your computer attached to the internet.
And just do as Lithurge said.

I didn't have direct internet access for my desktop for over a year and was able to still add profiles into my local database. Once I was back online I updated all of those profiles.

I never use, nor have I ever used the information online.
I want to avoid this situation:

Floating Point Error, or missing text on buttons.
This error can also be caused by a corrupted online profile list file.

That's a ridiculous attitude. Why not avoid all problems and not use the program at all? You agree that would be nonsense.

And you do use the online information, whether you know it or not. Where do you think the data comes from?
If you don't want to update your information from the online, then just don't do it. I personally do it only when I want to. Nothing forces you do do the online update. You can also "lock" profiles to protect them.

You are lucky, since the information always exists in English.
I as a Portuguese have to put ALL the information.
I do not want to, nor will I want information online that does not interest me.
I'm the one who posts ALL the information, I do not take ANYTHING from online in my collection of 1700 entries.
I was just wondering if that was possible.
I have already seen that not.
If there is a "corrupted online profile list file", everyone using this list has problems

I really wish you could adopt a different attitude. I told you long ago that I was motivated to help you, but you insist on resisting any information other than exactly what you want to hear. In 10 years of using DVD Profiler, I have never had a "corrupted online profile list file." And even if mine was corrupted, it was a problem on my PC and did not affect anybody else.

(1) I already told you, you can lock profiles if you want to keep your information from being changed by the online. You are WRONG. You can do that.

(2) You are confusing the design of the program that uses the online profile list, with whether or not you, as a person, uses the online metadata. You don't have to use the metadata, but the program is designed to use that file. Get over it.

Here is a silly example: you buy a car. You don't plan to drive it - but you love to use it in other ways, You will push it yourself if you want to move it. You don't like to buy gas.

BUT, the car was designed to use gas. When you go for repairs, or to get inspection, you need gas to get that done. That is the way the car works.

So, either live with the fact that DVD Profiler was designed to use the online profile list file even though you personally don't need the online data, or go find another program to use. Simple as that.

Are you open minded enough to take a look at my logic and respond?

Oh, and one more thing. It is your choice not to accept English as a way to use DVD Profiler. I truly wish I could speak every language. I respect all people and cultures. But my native language is English, and I know a little bit of some others to be able to enjoy cultures where they are spoken in a better way.

Part of my family is Portuguese. I know a lot of Portuguese people. My Granddaughter speaks both English and Portuguese. You can choose to reject English if you want - no problem. But I disagree that "as a Portuguese have to ...". You just WANT to - and that is perfectly fine.

It just means that it limits the ability to share your good work with others, or take advantage of what others have done. But again, that is your choice and I totally respect it. I just disagree that you MUST do it that way, just because your native language is not English.
