This is something I presume you have not forgotten, Ken But just in case. I think it would be useful to be able to track Bonus Material MORE specifically than we do now. We have an Interview, but who, Commentaries by whom, etc.

This could be easily done by adding a field that could be filled in by users from the information on the Disc Menus. If this box is filled out the user is prompted with, Does this apply to this title or all titles, we could even presume that if the box is filled out it would be for that title ONLY. This would allow us to give definition to the Feaures that are included as Bonus Materials and a BIG plus for Profiler.

Even a simple text field, like in Overview, would be fine.  We can keep track of all features as listed on the cover, as well as undocumented ones.

I'm not quite sure I understand the mechanics of Skip's request, but in spirit, I agree this would be a helpful thing. For instance, Martin Scorsese is an example of someone who does a lot of introductions and commentaries, often on films that he's not otherwise associated with (the films of Powell and Pressburger,  for example).

I currently manage this with tags, but it would be cool if there was a more robust method within the program.

Here is a portion of my users list you might find interesting.

WATCHED BY:
Rick: (Bonus Disc)
Rick: (Bonus Features)
Rick: (Commentary w/Cast)
Rick: (Cmntary w/DirectorWriterCast)
Rick: (Commentary w/Cast)
Rick: (Commentary w/Crew)
Rick: (Commentary w/Director&Cast)
Rick: (Commentary w/Director&Misc)
Rick: (Commentary w/Director&Writer)
Rick: (Commentary w/Director)
Rick: (Commentary w/Producer&Writer)
Rick: (Featurette)

AND MANY MORE ENTRIES (aprox 30 others)

Now with the notes field in v3 (watched by window) I may re-evaluate this. But I have found my customized USERS/WATCHED BY entries very usefull.

I've started using the new notes field recently with my WATCHED BY entries.
And now shows as BELOW in my VIEW HISTORY :

Rick: (Commentary w/Director) (Tim Burton)

True enough, Rick. Though it sounds painful. But this would make such data available to ALL users. And since we would be copying either the Menus or the Back Panel (To Be Detremined, I would guess Menus), the data would be uniform.
