| | Posted: | | | | For boxed sets, it should be possible to set the last watched date for the set to something like "N/A", which is different from a blank date. Blank date means "never watched", "N/A" means Not Applicable.
It should be possible (not mandatory!) to make this distinction.
(So, where should "N/A" sort, relative to actual dates and blanks?) | | | -R.

| | Posted: | | | | I set my box sets to watched when I've watched the last movie in the set. And it gets that date. I guess N/A would be a little more accurate, but I'm fine with calling that the date when I finished watching the entire set. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

| | Posted: | | | | I don't use watched date at all for the boxsets... and I have a small html window for last date watched....  so I think something like N/A would be a good idea. | | | | Pete |

This is how I handle it as well. I am using this method also. When I'm filtering on what I haven't watched yet, I want the incomplete watched boxsets in that list. When I've seen every movie of the boxset, the boxset itself should also disappear from the unwatched DVD's. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

I guess N/A would be a little more accurate, Jupp, but might be a hell with multiple nested parent-childen-profiles. Which level can still have or require a real date, and which gets N/A? | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| | Posted: | | | | Adding the date of the last watched disc for the parent as well helps with filtering in DVD Profiler, but as I use phpdvdprofiler to create "watched statistics" (and the banner below) I'd rather not do that.
In other words: I agree with the request and would like to this option too! | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.
