mdnitoil, the low-resolution would simply be something to discourage printing for piracy reasons.

Don't get me wrong when I mention low-res images.  I wasn't against purposely crippling the spine images, I was merely commenting that I have plenty of current work to do on my database without taking on any new projects.  I've still got front and backs that are poor images.  Getting all that in order takes priority over anything new.  Frankly, even if Profiler did support the addition of a third image, it would probably be a year before I was in a position to do anything with it.


Tell me about it.

You can replace the rear image in your collection with the spine if you wish.

No need to be so drastic (I think)
The image naming in DVD Profiler is quite simple, so the spine could be *s.jpg
Should be possible to either show *b.jpg, *s.jpg and *f.jpg in a row in an extra html-window or pull together all the *s.jpg for the bookshelf view.

True, but DVDP wouldn't do anything with it and it may delete it if you do an image directory cleanup.

Based on the original post, I'm envisioning a horizontal profiler list using thumbnails of the spines so it'll look like a mini DVD shelf. We could then see differerent spine display arrangements without actual re-organizing our physical DVD shelves. Clicking on each spine thumbnail would bring up the associated profile in the set of windows below.

I don't think you are going to see it in the program itself, because of the potential legal entaglements as I have noted, Doom.

I haven't given much thought as to making it happen but maybe a report where you have a generic DVD spine and you display the movie title on it?

Some of the layouts support image galleries which would allow you to do that,


Yup! Look for xyrano's great "Gallery Viewer" HTML window.
