Widescreen Collection is not hard coded into the software, lopek. It is redundant data, a marketing gimmick employed by Paramount, and we have that data elsewhere in the program. So why do we employ it. Why do we include Widescreen when there is ONLY a Widescreen release. there is nothing to differentiate. Good God, man. You argumentsare so bogus.

Fair point, my mistake - I can admit mine! 

Does not change the fact (that you ignored) that there is no exception in the rules to not include these. And that it is a distraction to the point at hand... same as the name calling. 

Lopek:

Even Ken admits that rule is vague so get over that argument.

This poll is not about the Rule its is about how we should be doing and you are supporting reducinmg the functionality and usability of the data in the Program. This is soooo obvious.

Red Herring. Start a separate thread to discuss the Edition field rules if you wish.

Your suggestion to include disc info in the cast and crew list is "more info" but my question about including audio tracks in the cast and crew list is a "distraction". "More info" is still not a justification when the "more info" is duplicative.

Sorry, Stuart. It's frustrating, it is a VERY simple conceptand adds functionality and usability to the system and people are seem to not be getting it, in Lopek's case he is probably being obstinate, but I really don't comprehend why anyone would want decreased functionality and usability of data.

It makes no sense to me.

Skip

If it's so simple, please explain the functionality and usability that is gained that is not already present due to the information recorded in the disc list? If I want to know which episode is on which disc, I can already look at the disc info.

Ken, are you ready to add disc divider labels to all episodic profiles?

Wouldn't it increase the functionality and usability of the program to add audio and subtitle dividers to the cast and crew list? That's a serious question. It flows logically from your suggestion.

James:

It is not a red herring, and you saying so, diminishesd your argument and reinforces that you don't get it. Because you don't see the issue of Consistency. Talk about your basic Red herring

I've got an idea.  Why don't we simply get rid of all the pesky fields and have one big freeform memo field?  That should certainly make layouts much easier to design.

With all due respect to Ken, he is wrong and I don't know why he would admit that.  The rule seems pretty clear to me...

"List all Cast Members for a TV Series appropriately. Use the Divider feature to indicate episode divisions."

I don't see how that rule can be interpreted to mean anything other than, use the dividers to divide the cast by episode.  Not only is that what the rule says, but that is what the 'field name' means.  These are dividers, not labels, and that is how they should be used...but that's just me.

I don't wish to be insulting. But you continue to show me that you have absolutely no understanding of what i am saying. I am wasting my time trying to explain it to you. I am sorry, in point of fact I don't blame you, something is lacking in my ability to explain it, though I have no idea what it is, the issue is so clear, simple and obvious that I simply don't understand why you don't get it...but you don't and you won't.

But like I have saiid this is also totally irrelevant to me. My data is my data from now on, You guys can do whatever you wish to wreck the database, and you are well on that path, even though I know you don't see it.
