| | Posted: | | | | Yes, it supports multiple databases, but that's seldom the best solution. So here are the alternatives:
Very simple solution: Use filters. Create one filter using Genre = Television and one filter using Genre = Not Television. Save the filters and it's easy to select one or the other.
Simple solution: Create a collection category for Television. From the menu select Tools / Create Collection Categories. Put your TV Show profiles in that category.
More complex solution: If you really want two different databases, select File / Open Database / New Database. But be aware that whenever you want to switch between movies and TV shows you need to go through Open Database.
How this affects your DVD Profiler Online:
- The first alternative can make all profiles visible, depending on your Online Collection Settings (on Invelos website).
- The second alternative allows you to upload all profiles, but the ones in you custom category will not be shown.
- The third alternative only lets you upload profiles from one of the databases.
My advice: Do not chose multiple databases unless you really have tried, evaluated, and rejected the other two options. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

Small correction: the ones that are only in a Custom Collection category are not shown. As long as one keeps the titles in "Owned" also, they are visible. But even then the Categories are not visible. | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| | Posted: | | | | I just moved all my television shows to the Ordered category. That way I can see them in the online.
Of course, that only works if you're not using that section for stuff on order. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
