Topic: DVD Profiler 3.6.0 Beta is available

[Tom]

I just noticed something in the new 3.6, which doesn't seem to work anymore.
Right-clicking on the contribution and the locks icon in the General Info window does not open up the context menu anymore.
Anyone else experiencing this?

[northbloke]

I still get the context menus when I right-click.

It works for me (Win7 x64)

Strange. Even stranger is, that it works for the exclusions, loan status and profiler update button.

Edit: I just found out, it works if I hit a specific small area just below the icon.

I suppose you mean the icon with the hand under the disc? Because Disc+People doesn't open a context menu either (did it ever?).

The disc icon opens a context menu containing: "Contribute" (contributing the profile changes) and "Never Contribute" (ignore profile changes and reset status)

I wish Ken wouldn't have implemented the default browser redirection for links in HTML sections. It messes up window.open calls (you can't specify a window name) and the returned window object doesn't support the ServiceProvider interfaces (TopBrowser, WebBrowser). All that happens even if IE is the default browser. Argh.

To the rescue here I come:

Transform your 3.6.0 XML format back to the 3.5.1 format: http://doena-soft.de/dvdprofiler/3.6.0/Convert360XMLTo351XML.zip

Thanks (again, since I posted elsewhere earlier...).

As always: Pure egoism on my part. I wanted to upgrade to 3.6.0 and needed a way to make it work with phpDVDProfiler.

One drawback of no longer visiting the Invelos forums is that you get confused by the terminology.

Can anyone tell me what the new case types "Box" and "Digibook" are supposed to be? I did look into the pinned case type thread in the Contribution forum, but didn't find anything there.

Is "Box" now for box sets? I remember that DVDPro once had the case type "Boxset", which got changed to "Slipcase". Now there are both "Box" and "Slipcase". And what's the difference between a "Digipak" and a "Digibook"?

[Najemikon]

I've got a lot of what I would consider he means by "Digibook". They're generally budget release boxsets of 3 films. The packaging is a cardboard drawer sleeve, exactly like a digipak, where a plastic insert would be glued inside to hold the disc, except it has two extra plastic inserts. They're held in place as you would a spine, so they do flap like pages, hence the thing reference to "book"...

Box is for when the DVD or Blu-ray comes packaged within a box there were some examples on invelos but I can't find them at present.
ninehours did a nice example here not sure how to link directly to a post.

Sorry I disagree with Jon on the digibook. My understanding is that the US, as well as a couple of other countries, have taken to release a disc within a book such that you have a digipack type sleeve on a book.

Thanks, Jon and Dave. I also found the thread that probably caused the Digibook addition (here). What Jon describes seems to be a Digistak, also used for TV seasons. No idea if that would be a Digibook or a Digipak according to Invelos (probably the latter, but who knows). Anyway, at least now I have an idea where those terms came from.

[Najemikon]

Ah, right. "Digistak", eh? Ah, well I long gave up worrying about contributions, so I'll just keep calling 'em "cases". Nice catch all term! 

[Achim]

Are others than Warner using the Digibook? All I have seem to be from them.
