I have multiple DivX/XvID movies on my DVD's and have assigned a unique number to each disk. It is possible to use the same "database number" for the different movies on 1 disk, but then I can not use the "export to HTML" options since all the movies on the disk share the sam jpg-image. Also I would like to be able to use a different set of numbers for the movies that are on original media and stored elsewere and, last biy not least I want to give temporary numbers to my wanted and "downloaded buty not yet burned" movies.
I have tried using the Media Label field for unique identification, but this field does not show in generated lists or in the list-overview on the screen.

Is it possibne to have both a uniqe movie/database entry and a less unique media/location entry which can both be used as selection item in lists, overviews and exported files?

The shared picture for duplicate movie numbers is a known bug; I plan to correct it as soon as I find a good solution for that
A temporary solution would be to have several catalogues. In a future version I'll improve the handling of numbers.

Is it possible to create a "combined" number/id for each movie, where one (the first?) part is the unique database/movie ID and the second part is a(non unique) use assigned number/combination? The combination of these numbers can be assigned to the picture, which is then unique. Ofcourse both these numbers need to be available in selections and overviews.
I imagine something like:
1-1
2-DVD2
3-DVD2
4-harddisk
5-wanted
6-downloading
7-wanted
8-CD1
9-bookshelf
.....

I could make something like that. Currently the only solution is to use movie title rather than movie number (there is an options for that in Tools -> Preferences -> Export)

OK thank you, this seems to solve my "problem" for now.
