250 Horror Pack
250 Mystary Pack
250 Western Pack
250 Family Pack

      I own all of them, and was going to add the child profiles, but that would take forever.  On a side note I am glad I bought theses when they were on sale.  The prices have sky rocketed.

I own a 100 movie pack from Mill Creek that has 25 discs and are flippers. I got it from a garage sale for just $5. Most are TV Movies but also some theatrical movies too.

I just created 25 manual profiles for the discs and still haven't gotten around to adding data for them.

So yeah, 100 is a lot, but 250 is a nightmare.

I mention this just in case: BulkEdit plugin will create child profiles from the disc IDs of the included discs. You can selectively copy/paste info from the parent profile, and you can optionally delete the discs from the parent once the children are created. Whole process takes minutes.

Could this possibly help you? I admit that I don't understand the contributions process well enough to know whether the result would be a good start towards a contribution or not.
Thanks for your support.

Ok, my curiosity has got the better of me ...

What happened - did you try or not? Did it work for you or not?

I guess you never really said you wanted to actually do it, but I was just curious.

I have not tried.  I am not very confident in my ablity to add to the database becasue of a lack of exsperience.  I would also have to wait until I had a few days of in a row, because it would take a long time to add 1000 profiles.

Never mind that, how do you find the time to watch them?

You know bulk edit so well <shocker> maybe use a tool like Wink to do a How To for something like this ? I have done a few walk throughs using wink and it worked out real well, and got people unconfused on a lot of terminology for the software I was working with.

Just an idea

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have found that no matter how much you do, it is never enough and mostly ignored. My last three or four attempts to help somebody out, even with detailed instructions, didn't even favor me with a reply until prompted. Sorry, but I can't invest the time to write extensive doc for a free tool. But I am responsive and supportive when people ask for help or new features.
