Can you imagine the ping ponging of data that this would cause?????? Each edition has a release date. A more recent could replace an older one, not the contrary. No ping ponging... | | | | Images from movies |

| | Posted: | | | | I have yet to see any way to know the exact dates a re-release comes out. I have many re-releases in my collection... and haven't found the dates for them yet.
Where do you all find them? | | | | Pete |

Many times they just pop up at the stores or when you order from amazon you suddenly get a different cover. Can of worms! |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks... can't read french anyway. But the format gave me an idea of what you are talking about. While we do have similar sites... the ones I have seen don't give the dates of when a title is re-released. | | | | Pete |

Even if I do buy a "re-release" of a title at a later date, I actually prefer having the original edition details to download in a profile. I can change whatever details locally if I want to then. | | | | Corey |

| | Posted: | | | | Being a person who finds their DVDs (mostly) visually while on the shelf, I would find having my artwork in my database changed arbitrarily to be annoying, and it would render this program useless to me.
The simplest solution when adding a title would be that after the program connects to download the artwork, if there are two possible covers, have a pop-up to select the artwork you have, just as you can automatically have a pop-up for personalization. If you're the kind of person that wants the latest upgraded artwork, regardless of what is in your hand, then you can pick the newer scan. If, like me, you prefer your artwork to match what you own, then you can pick the more accurate option.
They're just going to have to re-write the image portion of the database to allow for more than two scans to be attached to the key item of the database (in this case I'm assuming it's the UPC). |
