I'm using a barcode-scanner to add and search for DVD's.
However, some dvd's have 1 EAN suitable for 2 or sometimes more country's.

My barcode-scanner which is automatically adding an [enter] to every EAN causes DVD Profiler to automatically add the first title found to the list of pending additions.

i.e.: for 5050582112832, DVD Profiler finds 2 DVD's 
1. American Pie: The Wedding (Belgium)
2. American Pie: The Wedding (Netherlands)

When using my barcode-scanner, automatically the 1st title is added to the Pending Additions, but since I'm from the Netherlands, I want the 2nd title to be added.

Could the developers make a change to this? for example prompt me to make a choice, or to confirm my choice or require me to push the enter button twice (since my barcode-scanner does it ones after every EAN)

Thanks!

I think adding the 'enter' is a function of your barcode scanner. dvdprofiler doesn't do it by default.

If you scan the barcode into notepad you'll find it will do the same thing.

My barcode scanner has a 'programming' manual with it, that allows you to customise lots of things. One of which is whether it sends an 'enter' after scanning. Which was the default. So, I'd check the manual for your scanner and also test with notepad.

you should be able to disable the enter on the barcode scanner as ajm says
