I don't if this can be realized, but it would be very userfreindly.

We have sometimes the problem of double used EAN/UPC. (Example)

Generally the second added profile will get disc id based. The problem for the user is: At adding a DVD over EAN/UPC, he'll get the "wrong" profile and has to search manual for the correct one. Or he'll try to change the existing profile, which leads to discussions and sometimes bad words or disinclination to contribute.

I would like to have a field in which we could add for such cases the EAN/UPC to disc id based profiles. This field should be also searched at Add by EAN/UPC. So both different movies would pop up to choose which one should be added. (Like it does now at same EAN/UPC for different localities)

The problem as I see it is that a Disc-ID can be used for more than one release. For example it might be used on a single film release and in a box set.

The EAN/UPC entry would have to be a new field on the profile and would have to be capable of taking multiple entries to cater for the above.

If the above can be factored in I have no problem with it.

Ok, I understand, didn't came to my mind because I wouldn't have added the EAN/UPC to child profiles of a box set.

But without adding you would have the EAN/UPC of the single release in your box set, so I understand your thoughts. (Even if it wouldn't hurt me to have it in)

Edit: Greenies out for today. Hmm, I think I should be more economical.  You'll get your tomorrow.
