Everyone is hung up on tags ... I don't want to us tags I shouldn't have to use tags . The results I want should be gained  by default  from the program without adding any tags or anything from the community ... I may be a little scatter brained as to getting my point accros because im  doing 3+ things at the  same time  but I'm very  sure of what I want to be listed and displayed and this program can't do that at this time.

So by default in your opinion the database should have a field which gives you the information, if you have opened your DVD or if it is still sealed. And countless other information which is the whim of one or two users?
The tags provide all the needed possibility for the user attach additional information to the profile as needed. Why should the database provide a information by default, which probably only a handful of people need?

And if you cannot bother to pay full attention when posting and asking questions, then you shouldn't bother to post at all. It is common courtesy when engaging into a discussion.

Everyone is talking about tags because it is currently the only way to get clilose to what you want. And it will work. You could decide to make srp your value, not perfect for what you want but it to will work.

We can't make things the way you want, we can only suggest ways to kind of get there for now. Now matter how much you fuss, what you want is not going to happen tomorrow, or I would guess in the next version. I remember waiting 5 Yeats to get better crew data than just director. All you can do is wait and being reallistic I don't see anyone clamoring to say hey great idea. Tag you are it all by yourself, just wait. No pun intended btw

Once again I understand all what is being said.  what I want is being provided by another program by default.The competition is doing this and more shouldn't dvdp users ask for close to the same thing if not more? instead of relying on close but not perfect .

People are just trying to help you with a workaround until the program is 100% to your liking.  If you don't want to be a little flexible until that time perhaps it is best to move on.

I am perfectly happy with a" it can't be done right now" I am flexible all this stated with " why can't this be done with dvdp " . And telling someone " it better if you just move on " is in bad form just because I want more than a Band-Aid as solution to my  question? If questions like this are not asked then how will they know what the buyer wants and is willing to pay for ?

Seems to me that what you are asking for isn't something most users really care about.  You also seem to feel that you are entitled to the program being exactly what you want it to be, when in reality it is designed to meet the the majority of needs of the majority of people.  I wouldn't be against adding the fields you requested, but I personally don't have a need for them and IMO Ken's time can be better spent on other needed improvements. 

People have suggested tags because it would be an easy solution for most of the issues you seem to be having.  You keep mentioning other products that already have it, so why don't you just use those instead?

I would be interested in knowing what competing program offers these fields by default.  I have been with Profiler for a long time and this is the first time I have heard anybody ask for what you are asking for.

I have used the program for about
12 years now and watched these forums just as long. And in all that time you are the first usertthat I can recall making a request if this nature. The first and no one is beating down the door to say yeah me too. I can see the merits of what you want, but the program has a long way to go before its ready. For example, multiple cover possibilities, any collector worth his salt would want to be able to determine precisely which version of a release he might own.and this is one of the biggest discriminators. Right now we can only do one cover image online per upc, and that is only one issue.

I find it strange that the moment you are asked what program you have discovered the above is what you state.

Maybe because no such program exists?!

King, maybe you should join the feature request for custom fields because I doubt you'll ever get a fixed field that says "DVD still sealed: X"
