Recently I decided to add child profiles to the Lethal Weapon blu-ray box set I own, and now I have a few questions.

The box set consists of an HD keep case in a slip cover, with the keep case holding all discs.
At the moment the parent profile has HD keep case as Case Type with the slip cover checkbox ticked.

Is the Case Type information correct for the parent profile?
How should I enter the Case Type information for the child profiles? Do we consider the slip cover only part of the parent profile or of the children profiles as well?

I  always thought that the child profiles got the same case type as the parent unless they were individually packaged differently. 

If you had a boxset of 3 movies in a single keepcase, in a slip cover, wouldn't you still use the images from the slip cover for the child profiles.  I would.  If so, shouldn't the slip cover be included in the case type since that's where the images come from?

I never really thought much about it... but I always have done it the way northbloke said. Now I am questioning it though... so not really sure. So I will be watching this thread.

Not according to Ken in the slip cover image thread.

Yeah... that thread says to just use the inside case for child profiles... and Ken did say the post was right... so that is good enough for me.

But I still stand by that it should be included in the rules. I know a lot of these come from Ken in threads, but contributors shouldn't have to hunt that info down on forum threads either.

Completely agree with you on that point.

Search sucks so bad on this forum.  Can someone post a link, please?

Here.
Ken's confirmation is on page 2.

Thanks.  Guess the only place it is directly addressed is in the description of Alien Quadrilogy, where it says not to check the "slip cover" for the child profiles.  Mention of "slip cover" is simply omitted for others that fall into this category.

Not sure how I missed that way back then (maybe because it was being changed as we went), but if I had caught it at the time, I'd have argued that point.  Especially for something like Quadrilogy where the only images available are from the slip cover.  If you leave off the slip cover from the child profile, then you have no place to take the cover images from.

It seems to me that the case type for children should only be different from the parent if the children are packaged individually....in other words, only when we use slip case; never when we use slip cover.

Something else that I'll have to keep local!

Why do you say that? I see nothing in the rules that says the case type has to refer to the source of the scans.

I am guessing, and I could be wrong, that it is the first cover image rule.

"The covers must match the profile exactly, including the UPC and locality."

If the profile doesn't indicate that there is a slip cover, then a scan of the slip cover doesn't match it exactly...then again, I could be over thinking it.
