| | Posted: | | | | Im not a big fan of Twinpacks, but I happen to have some in my collection. Earlier, I always sort them by the first movie, but I hoped maybe someone else has a better suggestion? |

| | Posted: | | | | Are the movies on separate discs or on each side of the same disc?
In that case, the proper course would be to treat it as a box-set, so that each disc/side has their own child profile, linked to the twinpack... | | | | The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet. (William Gibson) |

| | Posted: | | | | It doesn't sound like he's worried about how to profile them, he's just wondering how others sort their's in their collection. I hadn't really thought about it before, but the few I have are just sorted by the first movie listed. I can see how some might not like that. I own so few it doesn't really bother me since I know what they are. I guess it depends how you sort your physical collection as well. I like my physical collection on the shelves to match the order they show in Profiler so I know where to look for them. But if that doesn't matter to you and all you care about is Profiler showing you a list of the movies you own, I suppose you could just not use a Box Set for the Twinpacks. Have each movie as a separate profile and have it sort alphabetically on their own titles. But I'm a bit anal and like everything to match up exactly how they are and by the UPCs and all that, so that would drive me crazy.  | | | "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader

| | Posted: | | | | One thing you can do that's helpful for sorting is to create and assign a tag like "Box Only Profile" to the empty box. Then if you want to sort all of your films by production year or alpha order or separately in any way, just deselect the "Box Only Profile" tag in a filter. All of your empty box profiles will disappear and you can view all of the films separately.  | | | ...James

how you do that ? Select one of your box set profiles (a profile that is just for the outer box; for example, Beverly Hills Cop: The Complete Line Up, which I see is in your collection) and then click the "Set Tags" tab > right-click > Edit Tags. Add a new tag for Box Only Profile (for example). Click OK to save. Now select the box for Box Only Profile. You've now tagged that profile as a Box Only Profile. Now go to Filters > Tags. If you click the box next to Box Only Profile so that a check mark appears, your collection will be filtered to display only profiles which are tagged as a Box Only Profile. Beverly Hills Cop: The Complete Line Up will be one of them. The individual Beverly Hills Cop films won't display because they weren't tagged as such. If you click the box next to Box Only Profile so that it's empty, only profiles that are not tagged as Box Only Profile will appear. In this manner, the display will be the individual Beverly Hills Cop movies but not the outer box profile. With this filter active, you can sort your collection by the individual films.

Can it be fixed? We don't have any way to filter our online collection with Invelos. You might investigate phpdvdprofiler. | | | ...James

I am fairly sure it can be "fixed" with DVD Profiler, but needs some tweaking (also with Tags). I think a way to remove them from the online listing at Invelos could be to use the Adult rating/genre and setting My Profiler up accordingly. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.
