| | Posted: January 10, 2008 11:23 PM | | | | Why it haven't a special Link (window?) for Sequels or Sin offs like the crew or actor window? Not all sequels have the same name, like el mariachi and desperado  |

| | Posted: January 10, 2008 11:58 PM | | | | a listing of sequels would be an interesting idea.
As far as doing that within the current functionality of the program, you could include this information in the notes field and\or use a custom html window to display it.
and if you want it to actually link the profiles together your best bet would be to use a manual profile and make that a box set for the sequels. and also might want to adjust the sort title to keep the profiles together when sorted by title.

| | Posted: January 11, 2008 12:07 AM | | | | That's rather a subjective issue. Who gets to decide what's a sequel and what's not? It's rarely specified on the DVD...
Sounds like a can of works to me, so I'd pass on that idea. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: January 11, 2008 1:35 AM | | | | i'm sure some people could argue it, but i don't really think that its really subjective. It's generally pretty clear when a movie/series is a sequel/spin off

| | Posted: January 11, 2008 4:14 AM | | | | So, when it's a problem to decide whats a sequal and whats not, i can do it by myself. But i need the window. Sure i can do it in the Notes but then its not like the crew window: I click on El mariachi, a new window open and there is el marichi and desperado with cover and so on. You know what i mean? Sorry but my englich is not so good, long time ago that i write and spoke!

| | Posted: January 11, 2008 4:37 AM | | | | I think the program is spinning to much toward film profiler when there are lots of DVD issues it still doesn't do properly. There's no point replicating IMDB. |

-Agrare Most of the time it is pretty clear, but there are a few cases where it is unclear. On top of my head: - Casino Royale (the Parody): Is it a sequel to the James Bond Franchise? - Never Say Never: Sequel or Remake? - The Pink Panther (Steve Martin): Not a Sequel, not a remake, but a reboot - Batman Begins: Also a "reboot" and doesn't belong to the "old" series I think it is much easier to track sequels, remakes or movie series with the Tag function or use the sort title (to get a correct list of films that belong together but have different names). |
