| | Posted: January 31, 2014 5:04 PM | | | | Not that you care, but here's how I got to this question:
For example, I have the box sets of the original Star Trek series. Season 1 has 8 discs. When I first added it, I didn't add the Child Profiles, but in the Personalize DVD window, I set it to count as 8 discs. At that time, my total count was say 1000 (8 of which were Star Trek Season 1). But when I later added the Child Profiles for it , my total count went up to 1008. So, those 8 discs are being counted twice. So, it appears I should I be setting the disc count back to 0, if I'm adding "children", in order to keep my total count accurate.
Anyway, is there a way to do this as a "batch job", so to speak, or will I have to do each one individually?
Also, if there isn't a way to adjust the count in a batch mode, more importantly, is there a way to scan one's entire collection and automatically add Child Profiles to any Box Sets that don't already have them added?
Thanks. | | | | Mike |

Just flag the profiles you want to change (either the all the parents or all the children) and replace whatever number there is with 0. And while you are at it you might want to set Collection Number to -1 to set those to "None". If you use Collection Number at all. Quote:

Ctrl&a to flag all, Collection -> Flagged -> Check for Child Profiles... You'll have to press y for yes every so often but still faster than everything else. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

Now copy the profile via DVD -> Copy
Now flag all the child profiles (for example by using the Space bar)
Now select Collection -> Flagged -> Paste -> Count As | | | Karsten
