Based on his first sentence, it sounds like it would be Slip case for the parent and Keep case for the child profiles.  Note he said when it is the only case for the profile.  With 4 movies, you get 5 profiles.  One for the Slip Case and 4 for the Keep Case.

That's not how I read it. He said the only case for *the* profile. That would be the parent profile. It would have 2 cases, so you take the inner one. It also conforms with his second sentence. Otherwise his clarification is contradictory for single-case multi-disk boxes.
If he meant what you are understanding, he would have worded it a lot simpler: if the profile doesn't have child profiles, use the inner case.

It already is in locality Netherlands . In fact, all boxes I have seem to already be following this rule.

Hmm, I stand corrected. It's Boxset in my database. In fact, half of the single-case boxsets have Boxset the other have the inner casetype. So clearly it's inconsistent no matter what it has to be now. But I'll just wait a bit before changing the Alien Quadrilogy ones or the other ones.

You might be correct.  Please forgive me as I am in the middle of packing so might not be reading it as well as I should be.

Might be? Seems pretty clear to me. Everything with a digipak case inside will now be digipak. So, go change all of those box set profiles, folks.

Your honor, I strenuously object!

The Case Types with Images thread has recently been updated to include this photo:

The case type 'box set' has been renamed 'slip case' in the next version of DVD Profiler. (If you submit a profile right now with a case type of 'box set', you will instead see 'slip case' in the online comparison.)

The 3 DVDs in the photo above are single film releases. Near Dark and Amélie are digipacks inside slip cases and are currently in the database as digipaks. Reds is a keep case inside a slip case and is currently in the database as a keep case. All 3 of these will need to be changed to 'slip case' in the database due to this change in the Case Types thread.

Question: Do you support this change?

[The reason for a new poll on the subject is that it's been said that the results of the other polls would be different if the poll were worded differently.]

Please remove my image from your post and do not use it again.

Oh. please do. Without it we will never be able to figure out how to do it correctly.

Or does that only apply to Gerri and not Ken?!?

The slip case cover type is intended to be used when it is the only case for the profile, as in for a box set.  If there is only one inner case, use the inner case type.

Great, thanks!! Needless to say I'm very relieved that common sense prevailed...

So, you thnk that Alien Quad should be Digipak and not Slip Case?

*shakes head*

No, and I don't think that is what Ken intended either.  After getting a better nights sleep in my own bed, I have read and reread Ken's statement.  The fact that he mentioned 'Box Sets' is key...at least for me.

I think we can make this very simple.  If it is a Box Set, the parent uses the outer case and the children use the inner.  If it is a single release, then we use the inner case.

I just don't understand that. The case type is the same whether the title has two movies in it or just one. If one look at the cases, they would look exactly the same regardless if it is one movie or two movies inside them (talking about digipak inside slipcase now).

To me, it still looks like people are confusing box set profiles with case types.

I posted this in another thread, but didn't get any response

What I don't understand, is that people see a difference between a single title in one digipak inside a slip case and several titles in one digipak inside a slip case. The only difference I can see is the profile type (the one with several titles has child profiles). The case type is, in my opinion, the exact same.

The only explanation I can think of is that they confuse the it with the profile type, but if there is another explanation, please share it with me.

So if anybody can explain the difference to me, I would appreciate it
