Leave the genre field alone. If anything, cut it down to be more simplistic. Add a new open text field for keywords (local only). Then just type in whatever you want, separated by commas or something.

Then you could search for all DVDs that have for example, "Hitman" or "Christmas", as a keyword. You could be as extreme as you wanted.

What's wrong with the notes? Put your keywords into the notes and you are able to search for them. I do agree that the genre field should be as simple as possible but not local.

Talking about the notes and keywords, I have mentioned several times that some more multi purpose local  text fields, which could be used for filtering and sorting, would be very handy.

You create a translation file for yourself, and you "translate" genres that you don't use. For exemple you translate "Special Interest " with "Superhero Films", then you correct the concerned profiles...  it works fine...


Right, I "translated" Accessories, Classic and Special Interest into Biography, Crime and Mystery in my personal translation file, because I find the original three absolute meaningless and the translated ones very important. And as constantly begging for changes does not help, this is the easiest way to go.
