Hi,

I know that many, many, many users wanted this but I am not sure that the way it is implemented now is totally logical.

For instance, I've set all my my box set profiles to CountAs=0. So when I filter for them I get this result:



Despite seeing quite a number of profiles the header says: Filtered 0. Were this any other program or Webseite a "Filtered: 0" result would give me an empty list.

With this new CountAs feature the filtered number doesn't make much sense at all - IMHO.

I'd rather see the distinction between "Total DVDs", "Total Profiles" and "Filtered Profiles".

As I am about 80% done with setting my "Count As" on 4000 collection numbers, I'd like to leave things exactly as they are please.

Never being satisfied with what we have, I'd like to have an addiitonal Count As, namely for Disc Count.
I use the present to sort out box sets and child profiles, and I think most people do.

The feature is working exactly as I wanted it...to give me a total number of, what I consider, titles owned.  For Box Sets, the parent is set to 0 and the children are set to 1.  For TV sets, the parent is set to 1 and the children are set to 0.

I have never considered filtering on Box Sets, so wouldn't be bothered by the 0 count on filtered.

Like James, I am quite a bit into setting these in my collection, so would not like to see it changed at this point.

I'll subtract 1 from my last post.  I realised I could just hit ctrl-a to flag everything and get an instant full count of everything filtered 

Saying that, if it could be implemented easily and in a way that wouldn't affect those who've already set it up, I wouldn't mind if Karsten's request was implemented.

UI woudl liek an ability to filter by count. It would make this much easier (i.e. possible) to audit.
