Hello All...

Sorry if this has been discussed in another thread, but my attempted search for this didn't bear fruit.

This week, I added Lost: Season 4 to my collection.  When I did so, I was prompted as to whether or not I would like to add the Child profiles along with the main one.  Awesome, what a great feature!

However, now I'm curious on just how to go back to items in my collection (TV Series, Multi-Movie packs, etc.) and add the Child Profiles to those I already have entered.  Can anyone assist with this?  Also, is there any way to clearly tell whether or not Child Profiles exist for these sets already in my collection.

I thank all in advance for your assistance.

Thanks... I'll give that a try.

Hm, no, it only does them one at a time.  That will take a long time with 5600 to check.

I just checked almost 5000 DVDs in my collection. The way the process works is the program first checks the entire collection for child profiles (assuming you flagged all entries), so you can just start the process and come back when it is done. It then prompts you one at a time if you want to add the child profiles for each entry that it found childs for. You have to manually say yes each time for it to download the child profiles for each particular title. But since it has already checked all your collection, you can basically just keep hitting yes (with the caveat that some box set child contents appear to be incorrect and you may want to look more carefully and say no when you see obvious mistakes). One warning though- once you start saying yes, you have to finish the process as the program only offers a cancel button which will undo all the child profiles you said yes and downloaded already. I learned this the hard way. Since the program doesn't tell you how many different profiles it found childs for, I just started saying yes to the first few dozen then realized I didn't have the time, and hit cancel as the only option, assuming it will keep the childs I already said yes to, but it undid everything and I had to start over.

If you have a large collection with potential child profiles, you'd be wise to limit the number of parent profiles you flag if you don't have time to deal with all of them.

Use the Collection->Flagged->Check for Child Profiles menu option.

I don't see that option on the Collection->Flagged menu.  All I get are:

Do menu choices depend on the layout?  I'm using one called "Invelos Default - High Resolution"

That's odd... I only have 11...
