If a hidden extra is not mentioned in the Disc Features (for example Bloopers), should we than include that to the regular extras?

Easter Eggs should always remain in the easter egg window. This way the method to find them can be included. It would be nice if there was a tick box in the features list called "Easter Eggs".

No, it should not be added. It's an Easter Egg, not a common extra. that's why the two carry different names and have different places of storing that data in the program.

However, locally, do as you wish...

Yeah, easter eggs have their own window, there's no need to mention them elsewhere.

Easter eggs are easter eggs and the special box helps us all to find them. So I recommend the way it is.
But maybe we could build for these special cases a box corrsponding to easter eggs called "chocolate bunnies"?

I don't know why, but I just couldn't stop laughing at chocolate bunnies.

Since we're already tracking easter eggs, I don't understand why we would want another field to announce that the other window has data in it.

What I would like to see is some sort of 'Hidden' checkbox for Easter Eggs.

In other words when you edit a profile an option for 'Easter Eggs' would show up in the features page, if the DVD has Easter Eggs you would check it.

When you view the profile it wouldn't be visible at all, but you could do a Filter Search that would list all of the DVDs that are in your coillection that has Easter Eggs.

How about a checkbox which only appears checked if you hover your mouse pointer above it? Or a grey instead of white checked checkbox to shows it's a hidden feature. I think that would be neat.

While I understand what you want, I don't understand why you feel this needs to or should be added. If I want to know if there are any hidden extras on the DVD, I just have to open the Easter Egg window. What use does the mentioning of hidden features in the extras field have if you don't include the correct means to access them? And you can't do that in the extras section. So, you'd have to use the Easter Egg window anyway. I don't know why we should reproduce that info at different places in the main info window.

Or how bout if Ken programs the Easter Egg window to randomly hide itself within the screen and we have to find it if we want to see what Easter Eggs are on the disc? That would be neat.
