hello, welcome to the board.


the search function can be set to filter for full substring, which will eliminate the need for typing the preceding words, and enable you to quickly search for titles by typing a partial title in. you can set this by going to "Filters" on the bottom left below your collection list, and checking the "substring search" box. then simply click "Collection List" to go back to your list, and use the search box located in the top tool bar. if you have not yet explored the filters menu... you will quickly find that you can search for discs by almost any criteria and it is extremely useful.


the location and slot feature is actually designed to go by individual disc, not by title (ie each disc of a 5 disc set is loaded into "dvd changer 1" slot "1,2,3,4,5". It will work for your purposes, however it will technically be a workaround.

You can not edit the location slot from the right click "personalize" menu. you will need to double click the title in the list to go into the "edit profile" section of the program. then select the personal information bar from the left hand side. under "discs" for most titles you should see something like:

1. Main Feature
2. Bonus Material

if you see this you can then highlight one of those discs at a time and add the location / slot.

if there are no discs added for the particular title you own (this is a user built database after all, and is not always complete depending on your region/locality and taste in film) you can go to the "discs" menu from the left bar of the edit screen and add the discs in the set yourself.


hope this was helpful in your choice to continue use of dvd profiler 3.x - let us know if there are any other questions you have. i have no doubt you will quickly find that this is the best program for cataloging your dvd collection.

As far as location of titles goes - the approach I have taken is to use the Tags function. This allows me to group them by Shelf number or Storage Folder.

my 2p worth.

just adding a little sugestion...
click anywhere in the title column, right click on mouse, select view colums and check "collection number" and "disk collection"

and you can see where the dvd is located.. directly..


hope this helps!!

I had done this, and it shows exactly what I wanted.  But, I am not sure what the "colleciton number" has to do with this... I guess I feel like that number is internal to the Data Base and is changable, so why would I care what it is?  My long term plan is to delete this from the visible listing.  Am I making a mistake to do that?  YOUR comments are appreciated.
