Custom categories - as soon as 'Include contents in owned collection' is checked the collection numbers are not unique within category any longer

I've created a couple of 'custom categories', each with it's own collection numbering.

Now I'd like to enable the setting 'include contents in owned collection' for each of my custom categories so that all of my movies are visible in my online profile list (I can't select custom categories to be displayed so I think this is the only way to show all my movies in the online list) - but as soon as I enable this setting the collection numbers are not unique within the category any longer.

When I try to add something to one of my custom categories it would get a completely wrong number.. so I always have to disable the 'include in owned..' first, add the new disc and finally re-enable the 'include...' setting again.

Any ideas?

I can only assume that it is working as intended. But you can always set the collection number manually in the personalize window.

You might try to see if you can automate the 3 step process using a DVDP Command File. Also, if have a bit of a technical aptitude, there is a tool "AutoIt" that can automate the mouse / keyboard activities of almost any windows application.

If that sequence works well for you, perhaps you should put in a Feature Request. If Invelos doesn't do it, some developer might come along and make a plugin to do it. Sounds like a useful feature to have.
Thanks for your support.
