Okay I see what it is now ( it's 5 am ) still waking up),, You only want the owned titles only and no wish list..,  . 

I'm sure if the that feature was available as you're asking for,, A lot of people would want the other feature that is currently present, as prevalent on their program.,, so I don't think you could have both options.  You can though go through the 'filter side of the program and open data box and fill in (i.e.) Brian Dennehy, and then That will show you exactly how many titles you own in Owned and how many in your wish list etc...

... I am doing a movie marathon of a certain actor when I click their name in one profile... I don't need to see the wishlist or ordered... so I just click the owned checkbox and it filters on the fly.

Have you tried using Filter?  It works pretty good for what you need... 

Addicted, I like the idea and think its a simple thing that makes it easier. After I read it I had thought about doing it the way you posted in your later modification and was going to post that as a suggestion but then read the next page and saw you came to that as well.

As a general comment, it seems a lot of people will shoot down an idea because they wouldn't use it or there is already some round about way of doing it and that just seems silly. With the software I write we constantly get requests to change how a specific feature works, sometimes for the betterment of all, other times its something that would be personal (or business) preference. Its not a bad idea, just not something everyone will want...so we put it in with a setting to select which way it works.

back to Addicted suggestion. Have the check boxes like his screen shot, then have a setting for how it defaults, ie "Open cast filmography to all profiles" or "Open cast filmography to profiles from current tab". It makes the software more flexible and thats a good thing.

At first I wasn't too keen on your idea - it sounded too fussy and complicated.
But now that I've seen your visual aid, I really like the idea! 

I think it's a great idea Pete!

The one thing I'd really like is an ease-of-use enhancement:

Have a cast/crew editor directly available from the main menu.

This would be a lot easier on name corrections, adding or changing a headshot, etc.
It removes the need to artificially enter a DVD profile to edit cast and/or crew. Because if you now exit the editor with OK, then exit the profile editor with cancel (since there was no issue with that specific profile), the program will roll back the cast/crew changes. Slap in the face    and start over again  .

It basically requires a stripped down version of the current editor, since adding a role is a profile specific something, of course. It could add some of the maintenance things in the repair utility, like cleanse unused entries. If cast and crew will still not be merged in the next versions, two tabs could be used... just an idea on some details...

Another idea: everthing that comes in dropdown-boxes should be updatable by the central database. It should be possible to add "Fantasia" as CoO without deploying a new client program. This should also be possible for sound options, audio/subtitle languages, ...

I'm not sure, but I think localities and CoO can already be updated without deploying a new client. At least their data lives in "%APPINFO%/localities.dod" and is downloaded from the server when needed.

Huh, just noticed this is possible already. 

Which one?
