Hmm, don't know. I haven't followed all thread complete.

I think yet it's used to contribute version A. or C. and the voters + screeners decide.
The voters, like often on cover contributions, decide on their personal preference. On which criteria the screeners decide ... ??? 

I would prefer C.
But what is with the difficult point of Slipcovers which have the rating on it, but the Keep Case does not have it or has a Cover without it?
Like on the actual contribution of the Warlords Cover 4-260131-128035 ( and i am not sure, if the existing cover was taken from the slip cover, or not.......)

Because we all now that we should use the Cover of the Slip Case, and the one on the Keep Case only when it provides a better Picture....

I asked this when it first came up but didn't get an official reply.

There is no specific rule concerning flipcovers. AFAIK it is a problem of German releases only ever since a governing body in Germany (I don't know which one)

Ursula von der Leyen, former minister of " Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth" (so basically for everyone except middle-aged single men).

I think there's an option missing:
No matter what (inside or outside), but please, don't mix them up (even if an interpretation of Ken's clarification seems to allow this).
We already have several image combinations in the database that don't resemble any release of the DVDs in questions.
EDIT: And sometimes they aren't even legally correct DVD covers anymore, because there's no rating logo at all.

You're right that many covers are mixed up. (front from inside/back from outside)
The problem I see, is that without mixing it, you have a back cover without EAN/UPC. But in my opinion this is essential. The EAN/UPC is most times on what the Profile is added in database, so without these on the covers brings up severall problems.

And it's just the front that is "ugly"! And DVD Profiler is still a tool for us to handle our collections, so i would say it's on us to say what we prefer. And if we prefer covers without FSK-Logo why not adding them this way. Of course it should always be the cover which is provided with the DVD. Not taking from another Edition or some kind of customized covers.

Wow, many voters for A.

But still six more for a front without rating logo.

I voted "A", as this is the only way I see to make it easy and simple for anyone, its the cover that is shown in every store , it is the default cover.
This prevents ping pong battles.

Of course I agree that the inside without the ugly ratings logo looks much nicer, but I suggest we use that for the local database.

But this adds more work to the user. Everytime you add a new DVD to your collection, you have to scan the covers on your own. Isn't imho very user-friendly.

See my post from 1:00 PM: I think this would bring up a user-friendly solution and perhaps this would be a plus for Profiler. Showing the inside of the cover. (if it's not just white)
You would have the alternate cover, somtimes is included, ...
... or the inside artwork, episode list, ...
