Can we have a way of inputting the catalogue numbers for DVDs?
(For anyone who doesn't know, I mean the number usually seen on the spine of a DVD release.)

I would appreciate this feature.

For instance, I have a series of Jackie Chan's early films which have catalogue numbers of JCD0001, JCD0002, JCD0003 etc.
It would be handy to be able to put these in order when doing a search through my personal database.


Thanks,
Neil

Not as such.

You could e.g. put them in the Notes, but that would make it hard to use them for anything except filtering for "JCD" or something.

A better alternative might be the Location. Highlight the profile, press Ctrl&p for the 'Personalize DVD' Window and put the catalogue number in the Location which holds alphanumerics. Then you can sort your Collection based on Location and Slot (Right-Click somewhere in the collection list and go to 'Sort by'

Granted, it works only if you don't already use this field for other purposes.

Good question that one. Wouldn't catalogue number be a valuable piece of data to collect because it is used on so many websites? I would have thought that it might improve the potential for plugins.
This is a sig... ... ... yay...

Don't understand? Maybe DVDProfilerWiki.org does!

I have no objections to them being added to the profile. At least they're easy enough to find!

I suggested something similar about a year ago, about a spine slot for those titles that are universally numbered, like Criterion, Fox Studio Classics/Film Noir, Dragon Dynasty, Masters of Cinema, etc..  This could easily fall into the same category.

I don't think I'd have any use for catalogue numbers--though I have no particular opposition to them--but I like spine numbers.  I input them locally (!) as part of the Edition.  E.g. "The Criterion Collection 140" or "The Miriam Collection 1".
