Here's my sob story. I have all four of the 007 James Bond Ultimate Edition Boxsets. When they are input into the profiler, they give SCANT information on the individual movies, only listing them out in the disc "overview". I also typed the individual movie titles in the "discs" box. I would like to be able to enter the individual movies so I get the FULL detail treatment, but have them "clustered" with the actual box sets they belong to.

The details are entered in the individual child profiles.

The easiest way to add them is to put the disc into your drive and then it will (probably!) tell you that you've just put in "Goldeneye: Ultimate Edition" and ask if you want to add it. Say @Yes' and it will add it in.

Then, when you have them all loaded edit the master/parent profile (the boxset without all the data) and click on the 'Boxset Contents' tab on the main, right hand menu. Then you just assign the appropriate child profiles that you've just added above (select the title and click the 'Assign' button) and save.

This will show the boxset as part of your main list then, under the boxset, indented, each of the seperate films.

If you can't put each disc in a PC drive for some reason the alternative is to go to the 'Add DVD' screen and select the boxset you already have and then select 'Preview'; under the preview info there will be a section called 'Boxset Contents' which will list the Disc IDs of the children.
Make anote of these then do 'Add by title' for each film and pick the one that matches the Disc ID in the list.

Another reason I would loke to so this is beacuse I would like to seperate my movie collection from my TV show collection. Is any of this possible, or does some Profiler pro have a better solution?

You can have as many collections as you like; select File -> Open Database -> New Database and give it a name.

You can either start with a blank database and add in all the titles again OR you can select the 'Copy Current Database' button and the new database will be a carbon copy of the old one; this done you can delete the films from one and the TV shows from the other leaving you with separate databases.

Two hints:
Set up tags for TV and Film in the main database before you start (this is heled by Filtering on the Television genre, flag all then tag all flagged as TV. Reverse all flags and then tag all flagged as films... then sort out the couple that got missed!)
If you ever want to recombine (or have a third database with them all in) it's quite easy: Backup the TV database (well actually backup everything, using the proper File -> Backup Database option) then go into the film database. Do a Restore Database from your new TV backup file but check the 'restore specific profiles' radio button and then hit 'Select All' before OK.
This will ADD the TV database back into the film one rather than overwrite it.

P.S. Backup everything before you start in case it goes wrong, using the File -> Backup Database facility as described above... do NOT rely on your online database being downloadable, this is an emegency facility only and may/will lose some of your data.

P.P.S. The only downside is you can only upload one database at a time for viewing online so the 'combi option' might be useful as a third database.
