Thinking of moving all my TV series titles into my ordered list to seperate them from my movies.  Is there any data that would be lost when doing this?  I'd lose collection numbers but I'm not sure if this would be a problem as I only use it for trailers.

I think you'll be okay.  But I'd recommend doing a backup and then try it, then export to XML and verify the data is intact.  Setup a filter to show your TV series titles from your Owned collection, export that to an XML file, then move them all to Ordered, and export those... And difference the XML files to see if you lost anything.  In otherwords, I have no idea.

Bad link.  Didn't know about the MyTabs plug-in.  Cool!

Ok the plugin is unsuitable I'm afraid.  May experiment with multiple databases...at some point.

Why not just use tags?

This was made for v.2, but it should give you a good idea of how to do it in v.3

I'm aware of how to use tags, cheers anyway though. 

I was looking for a better way of doing it than using tags, which is what I currently do.

Will probably just wait for multiple tabs to be added as a feature.  Hopefully wont be long, alot of people have requested it afterall.

Have you considered the new boxset-in-boxset feature?  I have a TV "boxset" that contains all my TV sets.  Kind of like this:

Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
Create fake parent profiles to organize your collection.

Yeah, I'd considered that as a possibility.  May well end up doing that for the time being, its easily reversed afterall.

Would still rather have an extra collection list for them tho.

Edit:  What cover image are you using for your 'TV' set? If any.

I don't have any cover image for my TV set either, haven't found one I liked.  However, if you click on the VC link in my tag, you'll see a large collection of covers for different series.
