When updating my profiles, I noticed Heroes Season 1 got corrected/completed. For that, many thanks to the contributors who did this.

I have one question/request though: there are child profiles for each individual disc and these haven't been adapted with said changes. Would it bother you much to apply the same changes to those too? I'd do it myself but only realised this after accepting the changes, so I don't have a point of reference anymore.

Also, I'd like to know how we should proceed in such cases where the parent and child profiles both have the crew and cast info? Adapt both at the same time or do the parent first and adapt the child profiles later (with the risc of forgetting certain changes).

Thanks in advance for the help and again, this is certainly not a complaint. I just would like to make sure there are no inconsistencies in the database.

Personally I would do both parent and children at the same time. It's easy enough with the crew and cast copy/paste feature. But there are no rules for this, especially since submitting child profiles for TV series is not compulsory anyway, so not every contributor may have them in their local collection.

It is quite possible that the person who did the parent profile doesn't use child profiles.  That would explain why the parent is the only one that was updated.

When I audit a TV series, and I don't do it that often, I do the child profiles first then copy all the info into the parent.

That's kind of the way I would do it too. However, for Heroes Season 1 Blu-ray, I had created and submitted the child profiles not so long ago so they have only been in the database for about a week. My guess is the contributor didn't check for child profiles for that parent profile.

It might be a good idea to ask Invelos to have DVDProfiler automatically check for added child profiles when updating the database, to be sure that everyone who wants to use them, is notified automatically.

If it's an option that can be toggled to the users preference then sure!
