Hi everyone,
I scanned a few cover images for DVD of my collection.
They all look fine in my DVD Profiler collection, but they do not appear in my online collection.
Does anyone have any idea why?
Thanks in advance

The online collection refelcts the online database, not your own.

The only way to accomplish this is to lock the field(s).

This works for all textual fields. I'm not sure if it works for cover images, too.

Alternatively you could use phpDVDProfiler.

The online collection gets its data from your upload. The cover scans, however, are taken from what's in the Invelos central database. So if the central database contains no cover scans for your DVD, your online collection won't have any covers for your DVD.

You might consider contributing them to the Invelos database.

Unfortunately the contribution system will sometimes compress images so the only way of telling how well they'll look online is to look at your own contribution after you've submitted it. If you're not happy, you can always withdraw the contribution.

Before contributing the scan, make sure that it is no greater than 500x700 pixels and 200,000 bytes (not k!)  If the image exceeds any of these limits, it will be recompressed down to 500x700 and typically around 60k.
