I still think it's ridiculous though and the profile I sent up for change will still be a digipack in my local

Let's just start to change all digipacks then.... 

I just sent one profile change up to see how people would react... And on the comparison screen, it no longer says Box set, but slip case


That case doesnt physically hold the disc, so I take it your going to try and contribute a parent for the slip case and a child for the movie as digipak?
Are you local?
This is a local shop the strangers you would bring would not understand us, our customs, our local ways.

No. One title in a slip case with a digipack inside it. No child or parent profiles.

So you want to have this one as a box set?


NO NO NO NO NO!  Its a single movie.  By definition it is NOT a box set.

I think there are 4 "schools of thought".
1. Rifter: anything that contains multiple movies or episodes of a TV series must have 'boxset' as casetype. While this is indeed very simple, it somehow doesn't refer to Casetype but is a way to easily identify box set profiles.
2. Dan: just look at the OUTER package. If that has a Slip Cover, ignore it and move INWARD. If it has a Slipcase, then the casetype is Boxset. This rule is just not logical. Why would you ignore a Slipcover, but not a Slipcase ? Also, it is still not clear to me if you would then also use 'Boxset' for a single-movie keepcase inside a slipcase.
3. Anonymous: just apply Dan's rule, but include Slipcovers as well in deciding to call it a Boxset casetype. This would at least be more logical. Yet it doesn't fit well with single-movie profiles where I think no one would defend calling those Boxsets.
4. T!M (and myself): start looking at the INNER package and work your way out. The first inner package you find (starting from the disk itself) is the casetype for the disk itself. The first inner package that holds ALL disks is the casetype for the parent profile.

I think only 1 and 4 are simple yet logical. 3 is acceptable although I don't like the single-movie exception that is required. And 2 just doesn't make much sense to me since it is more exception than rule.

What is listed in the rules and case type thread are from Ken's directive. If you want it changed, you need to convince Ken.


Right.  Sounds good to me.  Only problem is that unless we can present a reasonably unified front, he isn't going to change anything.  I've been damn near the lone voice in the wilderness for over two years, all because of a few hardheads who won't move past their own preferences.

Take a look at the Case Types with Images thread, John. It has been updated.

I was talking about the CASE TYPE, not if the profile should be set up as a box set (As everybody have the whole day). But all that is irrelevant now as the name in the program has been changed

Reading this... one thing pops in mind. Maybe it is too simple and I am not seeing clearly yet.... as it is early here.... but couldn't this all be solved wiith a simp;le... small addition to Dan's case type thread...

Use Boxset (slipcase) case type only for boxset profiles. Not for single movie/episode profiles.

Would that one small addition not solve all the problems?

Well, looks like Ken intervened to get this straightened out once and for all. I quote:
Quote:

The slip case cover type is intended to be used when it is the only case for the profile, as in for a box set.  If there is only one inner case, use the inner case type.


If it's a single Digipak-book/foldout or multidisc-keepcase, I think his rule still applies. This means that the majority of voters have it correct.
