[EN] Small bug when duplicating movies numbers
Posted: 2005-05-05 12:18:23
I'm french, but I'll ask (well, I'll try 
) my question in english for everyone, in case I'm not alone with this, honestly, very small issue.
The 3.5 version of AMC (I don't think it was there before) allows to have duplicate movies numbers. I use that feature to, somehow, get some DVDs out of my total numbers in a "1 number = 1 DVD with its own case" logic, but still having as many titles I need. For example, if a DVD countains 2 different movies (as "Ghoulies 1 & 2"
, or "Return of the living dead" which is given with the original "Night of the living dead" as a bonus), I'll have 2 titles in my list, both with the same number. So I can dissociate "total of DVD" from "total of movies" and read the exact number of DVDs I got at the bottom of my title list, and the Statistics for the total amout of movies.
The problem is, when you use this feature and try to add a movie, its number always jumps off the highest number by 1 or 2, i.e. if last title is #200, the movie you'll add will be #202 or #203, leaving a gap of 1 or 2 numbers unused. I noted that the difference doesn't equal the total of duplicate numbers, i.e. having 4 duplicate numbers won't necessarily give the number 204 to a movie added after the #200. I have the "Use first available number instead of highest number + 1" set "on" in Preferences, and the problem disappears when unticking that option, but I need to use that option.
Anyway, thank you Antoine for your terrific work !
