Yikes! Changing UPC or EAN still loses disc ID!

Ken,

Is there any way to stop this from happening... I have 121 UPCs to update and I dont want to have to update every disc id for them again.

BTW: Awesome new product!  I like the new dialog for updating and creating entries!

I think this is supposed to happen to improve database accuracy. If the UPC or locality changes, then the disc id should change as well. This makes the user re-enter it to ensure that this is captured.

Just my take on it.

I guess that makes good sense.  Still, people should have been warned before they start deleting Disc IDs from the database.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

I'll change this behavior in 3.0.1 to prompt, so please hold off on changing those UPCs if you want to keep the existing disc information.

So you are saying this is a beta version??
when would the 3.0.1 version be out ?  Not 15 months I hope??

     
Just kidding...    I know as well as everyone else knows how busy you have been all day today not to mention all weekend.

You could set this as an option flag and default it to keep deleting them.  or better yet, have it session bound, like the flags.  whenever you restart profiler you have to go into the options and set it again to keep disc ids.  this could still help database integrity.

hmmm... another option would be to put the checkbox on the CHANGE UPC dialog box saying "keep disc IDs"...

OR you could keep disc IDs that are locked, but erase ones that aren't!

I guess the possibilities are endless...  You can decide which is best.

As long as whatever happens forces the user to take a positive step to retain the disc ids every time the UPC or location changes. Otherwise I can see trouble at the mill....

Hmm, lets see just how many R2 DVDs get contributed with R1 disc IDs now...
