To have Child Profiles have the same collection number as the Parent Profile with a .ext.
1
1.a 
1.b  or 1.1  1.2
1.c

I would go along with the child profiles automatically downloaded as being a big one for me, but another one that I have not seen mentioned is the ability to have multiple copies of the same UPC/Locality, I just hit the problem with a boxset where I have one if its child's as a duplicate of a title I have already got as a separate entry

I just want to point out one little issue with automatic download of child profilles: while I agree that this would be great for movie box sets, it's not so great for TV-sets, for which child profiles are allowed but not required. For the vast majority of people that hardly ever use these (based on the HUGE difference between the number of votes I get on parent and child TV-profiles, I'd say that's at least 90% of the users) it would be quite annoying to have to delete them every time. I would like this feature being implemented, though, but preferably in the form of some kind window popping up when you select a profile for download, saying something along the lines of: "There are child profiles attached to this profile - download these as well?", and then being able to choose yes or no.

Sounds good to me Tim... I personally use them all so either way would be cool for me. But a pop-up would be best for all around.

Though I would suggest something slightly different. In addition to the pop-up... something in options to check off to automatically download child profiles for those of us that do always use them.

Yep, I totally agree. An automatic download of child profiles for TV series would be a major annoyance for me. I would like to have it for movie box sets, though. Maybe an option to treat TV series and movie sets differently would be a good idea here.

Another one that popped in my mind that I know is an annoyance for several of the users I encountered.

Split Trailers Feature... Have both "Feature Trailer" and "Promo Trailer" so that we know when the trailer is for the actual feature on the disc or if it is just a bunch of promos they want to push you to buy.

Separate movie data from the media data. There is no need to hold e.g. cast&crew list for every media separately. One dataset for every movie is sufficient for this, with an little exception: if there is a difference, maybe a different cast list for a directors cut or a foreign release (e.g. additional voice actors for an animation movie), we need the chance to enter the different data.

Another good one. Current situation is very annoying in this case.

I would be even content with a contribution rules change so that only trailers for the main feature are allowed, as this is IMHO the more interesting part.

Bold by me...
And that is something I... and other people I know would be against. There is those of us that the promo trailers are just as important... if not more important then the trailer for the feature.

See this thread at Intervocative to see for yourself.

One of the things I'd like is to be able to list music/songs on a movie/tv series episode.

So, song name, performer, composer etc. To me I'd rather have this than all the crew stuff. But that's probably just me.

Wouldn't also say no, to having a colour/b&w indicator, audio bit rates, and with the HD format the video encoding format.

As I order 99.9999% of my dvd's online, I'd love to have more date fields available. So I can have order date, ship date, and date it arrived. Although all of that could fall under having 'customisable fields' which I'd love even more.

And 1 last thing. Can we have the cast/crew headshots not stored in the database, but as files in a directory please. Would make it easier to manage. At least for me.

I doubt it is just you... but definitely not for me personally!

Color/B&W indicator would be cool too... but think you would also need colorized... and maybe mixed.

Another one I would absolutely love to have... with the ability to store the file in whatever directory I would choose.

What's a Promo Trailer, Pete, are you referring to teasers?

For that matter I would still like to see a way for us to provide more specific Bonus Material information in all areas.

I was thinking about this the other day, and I'm somewhat surprised that nobody has confessed to tagging the different colour systems (is that what they're called?).
e.g. Technicolor, Agfafilm, etc.

I currently tag my B&W films, and although I'd be happy enough to see this included in 3.5, I'd probably continue tagging as I've done with CoO.

Skip, I think Addicted2DVD is referring to promo trailers in the sense of trailers for similar/related/released by the same distro company material.
Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!)

Trailers for movies other then for the feature of the DVD.

So... like the movie Hostel has trailers for...

    * When a Stranger Calls
    * Silent Hill
    * Underworld: Evolution
    * The Cave
    * The Exorcism of Emily Rose
    * Boogeyman
    * Ring Around the Rosie
    * The Fog (Remake)

...So promo trailer would be checked... but Feature Trailer would not (no trailer for Hostel).
