its counts profiles not discs

There's no way around this currently.

You could use the collection number to only count those items you're interested in.  Like just assigning a number to the parent or just the children and not the other way around.

You could use tags to tag just those items you're interested in counting.

You could use something like Database Query which will attempt to count the number of discs in your collection.

There are workarounds, but the best way to do it depends on what exactly it is you're trying to count and how you decide to count them.

Rick is correct once you understand that the program is using a misnomer, it counts PROFILES. Now there are numerous ways around this, depending upon your particular objectives. For example, I am less interested in discs and more interested in TITLES. I let the program handle my numbering, whenever I move this may change but this is TODAY  , So what I do is the following. For Movie Boxsets, the Boxset is not a Title and thus does not get a Collection Number, the Contents of said Boxset do get a Collection (the only fly in this, is mutliple feature discs, but it's close enough for my pruposes. For televsion I do it the exact opposite manner, I consider the Parent the Title and thus it get the Collection Number, the contents get NOTHING. So, at the current time my collection contains 4646 Profiles owned and somehwere in the vicinity of 3000 titles (I haven't looked lately).

Let's say Ken wanted to count Discs, which would probably be a pretty difficult proposition, given the variables. What is a DISC, is it each and every shiny little coaster, or is it only the movies (not including BONUS discs or Features Discs. Some users might want it one way and some might want something else, so it gets complicated quickly.

To make things more complicated yet, they aren't complicated enough already, let's consider the user who might use his numbering system to track his inventory locations. Let's say something like this for example.

Fixture #1
Shelf #2
Position #18

This could be collection number 1218, now if he want to count discs or even Profiles....well I think you see where this can go.

Nothing you do is going to change the Total DVDs count. It is counting PROFILES not DVDs or titles  or anything else. It will ALWAYS give you a count of PROFILES.

The highest reassigned Collection Number will give you the total count of what you want. Or am I missing something?

You're right Skip... it all depends on how you do the numbering. I personally like to number the items I bought... so no child profiles (movie or TV Series) gets numbers in my collection.

Yeah that term needs to be changed to Total Profiles instead of Total DVDs. I believe that was just something that was never changed once we got the ability to have boxsets broken up.

Most of us just automatically realizes that it means total profiles despite what it says... so never really been a high priority to us I don't think.

That's not the only term that needs changing. The same goes for Production Year, which actually represents the year of original release (which does not always coïncide with the production year).
