Ill agree with that. But I choose Parent and child.

You can copy them up though it involves some manual mucking about.  Once you copy the Cast or Crew, paste it into notepad and repeat for the rest of the child profiles.  You can grab the block of data dealing with the cast and paste it from the 2nd child into the XML for the 1st child (and so forth).  If everything was done right, you should be able to copy the modified XML into your copy-n-paste buffer and paste it into the parent profile and then add dividers to suit.

Copy-n-Paste?  It's just a text field, you can type in it (if memory serves).

It's simple we are talking about CONTENTS according to Ken's directive. Thus a a Slip Case (Case Type) that contains a Digipak, is a Digipak NOT a Slip Case.

Half correct.  This would be a Digipak with the Slip Cover option checked.

So, it would seem to follow that a a Multi-disc Keep Case would simply be a Keep case and the Slip Cover would not be checked. That would seem to be following the logic of CONTENT as opposed to CASE TYPE.

You would be correct UNLESS the multi-disc keep case was inside of a cardboard sleeve of some sort.  It it was, then the Slip Cover would be checked.

I would agree with all of that Unicus.

how would you rephrase the rule, exactly?

Yes, but there are only very few people in the world who share your definitions of "slip case" and "slip cover": I assure you that there's almost nobody who cares whether that piece of cardboard has openings on one or two sides. It's absolutely ridiculous to base our choice of case type on how many openings the slip has! Also, you seem to feel that whether a profile has children has an effect on the case type of the parent. That harks back to the original problem, which was that some people had trouble distinguishing between case type 'box set' and profile type 'box set'. Ken especially took the term 'box set' out of case types to eliminate this problem. Let's not re-introduce it, please.

You should also realize that while you tend to use child profiles for all TV-sets, most people don't (if I submit the same change to both the parent and the child profiles for any given TV-set, I get about ten times as many votes on the parent then I get on the children). So what you regard as some kind of "box set", is a single profile to the vast majority of the community. Therefore, if it's in a digipak in a slipcover, that's what people want to enter. You'd prefer to enter the slipcover (or case) only, because you already use 'digipak' for the children, so you feel the parent is just an empty container. But most people don't handle TV sets that way, so it doesn't make any sense. Like all other data in TV show parent profiles should, per the rules, always remain in the parent, the full case type data (digipak + slip) also needs to remain in the parent.

With photo examples which Ken has approved, there shouldn't be any disputes; and yet there are.

How does a keep case within a digipak work? Never seen that before.
