| | Posted: | | | | Is there a way of knowing how many movies (not dvd's) there are in a collection. For instance the Lethal Weapon box contains four movies. But is listed as one box. |

| | Posted: | | | | @Dragonchild: I saw that you only added the box set itself to your collection. You may want to add the individual movies, too. Look for my answer in this topic. | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | There's no easy way to do what you're asking. If you want an exact number, the best method I've found is to create a tag and then tag everything you consider to be a movie. Then you can filter on that tag to get a better count.
You can try using the collection number idea, but that's tricky as well. Especially if you're into set with 20 movie on 4 discs or whatever. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
Create fake parent profiles to organize your collection. |

Especially if you're into set with 20 movie on 4 discs or whatever. since a tag can only be assigned to a profile or disc, how would using tags get round the 20 movies on 4 discs? (you would only be able to tick one tag for 5 films) | | | | Paul |

(you would only be able to tick one tag for 5 films) Well, I break those sets out to manual profiles so I can have a separate profile for each movie. So it works fine for me. But you're right that it won't work otherwise.  | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
