I would like to be able temporarily unbind/detatch all child profiles from their box set parents when sorting so that they appear in the correct order and not "pinned" to the parent profile. | | | | Stuart | | | | Last edited: July 17, 2007 3:40 PM by Gadgeteer |

| | Posted: July 17, 2007 6:07 PM | | | | Because I do not care much about the almost empty parent profiles of movie box sets, those have to live in the ordered section of my database. Sorting the owned section does sort the child profiles to their correct order. It's in some way similar to pauls42's way of tagging and filtering.
BTW for TV box sets it's the other way around. The parents live in the owned section and the children are not stored at all in my collection. | | | | Last edited: July 17, 2007 6:07 PM by RHo |

good ideas!
but i would like to see this new feature!
I use the boxset to connect follow ups, e.g. "Bad Boys" and "Bad Boys 2", but also Jack Ryan Movies like "Hunt for red october", "clear and present danger" ...
In this case I don't want the first movie filtered out. |

job done.. I have a "box set" tag that I use all the time. So I think the feature is already there, it just takes a bit more work than what's being asked for. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
Create fake parent profiles to organize your collection. |
