It would be great to have an option that could be enabled/disabled (according to user preference) that allows the user to force children when filtering boxsets.

For example, I have a 5 movie collection by a certain actor.  One movie is a comedy, the other four are all drama.  And the boxset itself has been assigned the drama genre because of this.  When I filter "Comedy" I see the movie listed there, but with no indication that it is part of a boxset (or that it is even a child profile).  Likewise, when I filter "Drama", I see the boxset and the 4 drama movies inside of it, but not the comedy.

While this behavior is correct, it has led to some confusion as I've double-checked my DVDProfiler collection with my physical collection.  It is silly to print 2 reports because the contents of a single boxset (parent profile) do not match those of a movie inside of it (child profile).  This opinion may not be shared by others, and for that reason a simply checkbox option should keep both camps pleased.

I only used the genre property as an example, but other properties would benefit from this, and it would also be helpful if the children profiles would be kept intact with the parent profile when filtering by tags.
