Box sets mess with real count.

scoville 18 years, 3 months ago at Jan 30 15:06 -
It seems that with the way things are currently counted, a box set that contains several movies will always show up as one unit. I was wondering if they could be made into units that contain other units.

For example: Right now I have two Hitchcock box sets that contain several movies each, plus many of his other titles. My page syas I only have 6 items of his. Also, I have 12 Herzog movies, but because they're in sets it says I have 2.

It would be nice to see these sets as a unit that can be clicked and it shows a drop down of all the movies contained within. Each movie within has a count for the director and actors like it was it's own self contained unit.

What do you think?

My opinion is that it isn't needed. I like having the movies section about movies I've watched and the DVDs section about DVDs I own, that is if I have a collection of 200 dvd boxes on a shelf, I don't want to see listal saying I have 250 DVDs because some are box sets.

That said I think it would be a good idea to have some way to list the movies in a box set, with a link to the movie in the movies section. There might not be a way to pull the information automatically but being able to do it manually would be nice.
