Dear Ken,

It seems to me, that the automatic numbering in the own created Collection category is unstable.

I've tried to moved movies from the owned category to the TEST Category, where 1 movie hasn't a collection number yet and the other one has already a number assigned.

The TEST Category is new and therefore empty. I have the Category options; Collectionumbers, Purchage Date and Unique inside collection all sellected, all others are deselected (I also did try with Including inside the Owned collection sellected, this has the sane result as when desselected).

In the owned Category the first free collection number is 77.

Now I did try to move the 2 numbers from OWNED to ORDERED and then from ORDERED to the TEST Category. And then the collection number became indeed 1 and 2.

Later however, I created again a new TEST Catelog, with the same settings and the way I did, the program takes the first free collection number (being 77) from the OWNED Category.

I have tried something like 10 times, and 3 out of 10 the programm will start the numbering with 1, but the other 7 times, it takes the first free number from the OWNED Category.

As I may assume, that when sellecting Unique in the Category, the automatic numbering should check the numbers in that Category and not in the OWNED one, it seems to me that somewhere there's an error. Even if assume wrong, then still somewhere it seems that there is an error.

For your information, I would like to see, that indeed the automatic numbering, will check the particaler Category (when sellecting the Unique) to determine the firt free number in that Category and not checking OWNED for that.

Regards,
Hans
