I have been using version 3.1.1 for a while now and I find that I frequently have to grab the scrollbar and drag it back to the top and select my first title to "home" my collection. Anytime you have selected a title it seems to be "sticky". It would be nice to have a "Home" button (maybe just clicking on the active collection list tab, ie. All, Owned, Ordered, Wishlist) and have it reposition to the top of the list using whatever current sort and filtering settings that are in place. This to me would be a frequently used convenience if it's not too much trouble.

What I would like to see is the ability to press the 'Home' and 'End' key in the collection list and have it bring you to the first and last entry respectivly. And maybe have page up page down scroll the list to display then next batch above or below the currently displayed titles that aren't showing. IIRC it doesn't currently do this and I can't test as I'm at work.

Click to focus the collection list and page up and page down will function as expected.  The keyboard commands for first and last are CTRL-home and CTRL-end respectively.

Thanks Ken. That's one I hadn't tried. I'll work on applying these keyboard commands until a similar capability is provided with the mouse (or not?  )

Maybe it's worth as well to have a look at this TOOL?

Thanks for the tip Thorsten. I'm not sure that I need to traverse a history of where I've been in DVDP but it is an interesting plugin just the same. I'll have to think about how I could benefit from a function like this. . .

Just in case you don't know: Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End are standard keystrokes, not something specific to DVD Profiler. You can basically use it in any program where you want to move to the top or buttom of a list, document, or page.

Personally I would not find it useful if a button was provided - I use many different programs daily, so I prefer simply sticking to the standard Windows features without clutting the userinterface up with buttons I have to wonder what do.

now that you mention it I always use Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End to go the the start or end of a document so don't know why I didn't think to try that in DVD Profiler and only tried without the Ctrl. (as home and end alone just bring you to the start/end of a line not a list)
