- At the moment you have "Booklet" entries in some profiles Other Features field.
- Next release of DVDP may contain check box for booklet and you wan't to move that info from Other Features field to new check box.

Am I even close?? If yes, why don't you just filter those profiles which has booklet in their Other features and fix them. The point I don't get is why to take locks in this equation?

No... not exactly what I am saying.

1. I buy a DVD set... it originally came with a book
(IE: My So-Called Life: Complete Series Originally came with a 36 page book ) Now I got my copy of My So-Called Life used... and it was missing the 36 page book. So I removed 36 page book from Other Features.... and lock the Features.

2. Ken does an update. In this update he adds to the Features. I don't know what... just for an example he adds a check box for "Play All".

3. Now I haven't watched yet... but say My So-Called Life has the Play All function. If I Just accept the update it would return the 36 page book I removed.

So in my eyes... it is better to be able to see what all profiles I have that has the features locked, this way I can say when a new feature is added... filter on the lock for Features.. and fix any profiles then and there without having to worry about it messing up the reason I locked the features in the first place.

I hope that is more clear about what I was trying to say.

Locks won't prevent you seeing new updates.

But flagging "Hide Updates for locked profiles" in "Tools -> Options -> Defaults" will.

Yes, but not the lock itself 

What Pete is describing is the following:

You have n fields that are covered by the same lock. Then Ken comes along and invents a new field, for example, a Feature checkbox for the "Play All" feature.

Now the armies of Mordor, erm, I mean Invelos are charging the online database, adding the Play All checkbox where appropriate.

But the Play All checkbox falls under the same Lock jurisdiction as all other Features. So if you have locked the Feature section, you will not get the new Play All update for the locked profiles.

It was the same when he invented the 2D / Color feature. If you had a lock on the Video Formats for whatever reason (e.g. you have a re-release with a different aspect ratio) then you will not get the 2D / Color update unless you give up your lock and lose your aspect ratio as well.

Thank You Karsten... Your example shows how even a separate lock for Other Features wouldn't really help in the big picture.

But being able to filter on the locks in place would be helpful.
