I think it would be a good feature, if we could add also scans of the inside of the cover inlay and choose with a check box for each profile seperate, what side of the cover inlay we want to show in our collection.

I know often the inside is just blank, but there are also often some really nice artworks, alternate covers, chapter overview, ... on the backside of the cover inlay.

In my opinion this feature would be a benefit and could be clearly ruled.

(And as a German user, i think this would bring up a end to the argue about the contribution of the "Wendecovers")

I'm interested in your opinions.

Yes, I know what you mean, but i think this is different.
If it would be possible to add re-release covers this brings up many problems. (different versions of same UPC/EAN)
This is would be really heavy to handle. So I'm also against that.

But just adding the inside of the cover inlay is a point that could be ruled absolute clear, like it's now for the covers.

There is also a legal issue here.  It is the same issue of why we cannot and do not include the spine of the cover art.  It would make it very easy for pirates to use it in creating fakes and selling them.  Having an insert would be a definite step closer for people who wanted to pirate the DVD's.  Plus lately in many cases including the single disc addition of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince there are no inserts.

I'm not against having multiple cover scans available online for re-release (I actually don't think this would be that hard to handle programmatically). If that is implemented it would be easy enough (if Ken wanted) to allow for both sides of the "Wendecovers" to be in as versions as well.

I actually don't see how this request is any different than allowing for multiple release covers, except that you are limiting it to 1 extra version and labeling it as the inside of the cover. Doing that makes it a useless field for probably 98% of the profiles (it would basically only effect some blu-ray covers, these Wendecovers, and a few other dvd covers that have alternate artwork on the other side) and exclude covers (like reservoir dogs) that were available in multiple covers (though think it the case of reservoir dogs they may have each had their own upc).

People would then try to use this unused extra cover as a way to get their release cover scan in. do we allow this? If we do allow that then what do we do when there is more than one additional release cover, second earliest release for this spot? It's trouble waiting to happen. Allowing unlimited* extra scans would also allow for slip covers and non slip cover scans and address the issue where multiple box sets have the same child profiles but with different covers (these could even be set up so it defaults to the scan of the child associated with the specific box set you have in your collection, overridable of course)

*perhaps there would need to be some limit, if only a screener enforced one to limit different version of the same scan.
