Almost all the TV child profiles. I've started to use the 'what i bought' -system.

Saved all the child profiles cover scans to the gallery and added all cast/crew to the parent (if it wasn't already there).

Looks neat

There are tags for "What I bought", you know.

Generally speaking, I've put more work in the child profiles than I ever did in the parents because they are the things I actually watch.

With that i didnt mean functionality in the program, but a way profiles are handled by a group of people. Some add all discs, some add "what they bought".

This was the main reason i stopped using them. Too much work TBH. The info what disc has the extras doesnt really matter to me. Virtually all other info can be incorporated to the parent. Much nicer this way.

I personally like the ability to use the watched by per disc. As I usually watch a disc and then put the set up a while. This way when I go back to the set I know exactly where I left of by what disc has a watched date. I also like having... as you said... the ability to know what extras are on which disc. Then I like having the overviews with the episode plots. The cast and crew in easier manageable groups is also a big plus for me.

I also use a what you bought system... as the only thing that gets numbered is the actual item I bought. So I only number the parent profile.

But all that is neither here nor there. You found you are happier with just the main (parent) profile I am happy for you! Everyone has their favorite ways of doing it!

I tried using it once, but i always forgot to add it in the program. I have a tag for unwatched though. So now i have a list on the parents comments section which discs i haven't watched yet.

The big credits lists is still something I'm pondering on. One season is not a big deal, but e.g. my Farscape set has all 4 season on single discs (...and not seasons, as in e.g. the Stargate SG-1 set), so thats one set I've still kept the child profiles in.

What about "movie boxsets"?  Surely you didn't delete all of those child profiles?

No, just ones from TV series.

I'm in the middle of all this.
For live action TV shows loike Tales from the Cyrpt, I like having the child profiles all filled in.
For animated stuff like Simpsons or South Park, I prefer just parents with the cast and crew list attached.
Love the local locks!

Since I watch several TV shows in parallell, I put a Post-It on the cover indicating next unwatched episode. So "2/3" would indicate disc 2, episode 3. It takes way too long to fire up my computer and start Profiler each time I've watched a TV episode...

This...

Cast & Crew are only in the parent profile though.

Most every day my profiler is on from when I wake up till I go to bed that night anyway. So that is never a problem for me.

I use the collection number for what I bought.  If it has one, I paid $$$ for it.  Otherwise, it's a child of something I did pay $$$ for.

My high collection number is 778 so I know I purchased 778 items.  Profile count is over 500 higher. I also order my collection numbers based on purchase date so they're in the order I bought them.
