| | Posted: | | | | On past versions, I used to turn off collection # in personalize and then use bar code scanner to load up a lot of discs. ( I don't use the collection # ) Now I seem to have to turn it off for individual scans or edit them after the fact. This kills the peed of multiple disc entry. Is there a new way to do this so that it is defaulted off?
Thanks |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes I did, but then it brings up the window that allows me to turn off numbering. That means I have to reply after every scan. When i'm scanning 20 discs that really slows me down. I used to turn it off and it stayed that way for every disc I scanned. Am I missing something? |

"If "Prompt for personalization" is selected, you'll next see the Personalize DVD dialog box." so it should be not marked that option. | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

| | Posted: | | | | I don't get what the problem is? Even if you have no use for collection number, what harm does it to have the field set? | | | | - Jan |

| | Posted: | | | | I currently have over 1600 entries, with another 300 to go. The first 1200 were done without collection numbers. I don't want a portion of the collection to be numbered. I can do it manually. I was just looking for a way to turn it off for multiple entries. |

| | Posted: | | | | you could automatically renumber your whole collection if it's just the old gap that's troubling you :/ | | | | - Jan |

I was just looking for a way to turn it off for multiple entries. I don't think: - this is possible. The automatic setting of the None next to Collection Number. - there is way to blank the collection numbers automaticly.  | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

| | Posted: | | | | What about the checkbox at the bottom of the last screenshot "Don't prompt for this when adding DVDs" ? Shouldn't that disable it from ever coming up? | | | "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader

| | Posted: | | | | yes it does, but it assigns a collection number, this user wants none instead. Looks like it has the same function of the option prompt for personalisation on the first window | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

| | Posted: | | | | Hmm.. okay. What about just turning off the Collection Number from the visible columns in the Collection List (Right click -> View Columns -> Uncheck Collection Number). Then at least you never see it. | | | "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" - Douglas Bader

Uncheck Collection Number The numbers still appear in the online collection. I'm the same as VFX in regards to my feelings towards collection numbers, but I've not found a way either (but I'm not adding over a thousand entries). Can someone find a way to do it with an exported database? Like "export as this, replace these fields" kinda thing? A workaround might just help VFX for now. | | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |
