You can call it "undetermined", I still call it wrong.

You can call it whatever you like, but the fact is that "undetermined" is exactly correct, until someone has verified what it actually is. If Ken had set "color" as default and one had filtered ones collection then all ones films would have shown up. How is that "correct"?

]The big problem with setting a default is that you have no way of knowing if that value has been verified or not. There is no way of differentiating a "good guess" from a verified value by just looking at the data. And that's why "undetermined" is the right way to eventually get actually correct data.


I think you may have missed this from my original post.

I have no real issue how the color field was introduced, I can certainly see why the decisoin was made.  But I just don't think it is as clear cut as you make it out to be.  Much like we disagree on what the % of B&W in profiles may be.

My count-as confuses things (not especially consistent), so all numbers are approx.
Add to that, the three colourised profiles are also counted in the B&W count (they contain B&W versions plus the colourised version). As the statistics also hint at, I have four profiles that count as both B&W and colour (mixed content collections).

Colour - 541 - 87.1%
B&W - 81 - 13.0%
Colourised - 3 - 0.48%
Mixed - 3 - 0.48%

You can run a graph of colour, and the totals show up on the legend. Then it's a matter of doing the calculations based on your total number of profiles.

Alternately, you can filter each of the "colour types" individually from your collection.

Cool!  I'm the King of Colorization around here!  I have no idea why though. I can't recall having wached one for years.

By the way, the graphs for me use the spellings "colour" and "colorized".  Is it the same for everyone else?

Edit:  I'm not the King of Maths though; my original % were half wrong; that's what come of writing things in the middle of the night.
Do you ever find yourself striving for perfection with an almost worthless attempt at it?  Guttermouth "Lemon Water".  Also, I include in my Profiler database VHS tapes, audio DVDs, audio books (digital, cassette and CD), video games (digital, DVD and CD) and 'enhanced' CDs with video tracks on them, as well as films and TV I've bought digitally.  So I'm an anarchist, deal with it.  Just be thankful I don't include most of my records and CDs etc in it too; don't think I haven't been tempted...

I only watch two or three a week but buy more than that, so the answer in my case is I don't.  It's medical...

When I watch one I find myself compelled to do a full audit of everything afterwards, plus collect all the extra ‘local database’ stuff I like to keep, which includes the stunt-people and the details of the music used in them; (the one I did tonight had 27 songs in it, so it takes quite a while sometimes).  Then I have to scan and edit the cover to use as part of my screensaver, regardless of whether I need to contribute it or not.  Then I have to write a review which I put on my blog, which basically isn't much of a review at all, as it's mostly me moaning about life in general and trying to link it to the last film I watched.  Then I have to rip or otherwise find a copy of the trailer, so I can upload it to YouTube and link it to my blog; the trailers normally need editing to make them sound or look better too.  Then I have to update my profile on IMDB.  Then I have to add it to my profile on Criticker and add a mini review there too.  Then I have to post my blog and YouTube trailer to my Facebook account.  Then I have to update my links in Profiler, to include the trailer, my blog and IMDB.  Then I go to bed.  Oh, I also have a habit of before watching the film, of reading the Overview out aloud to myself in a suitable cinematic way.  Depending on the type of film I'm watching, I adjust the background lighting in the room to match the tone of the film too.  Happy films get a warm yellow, horrors have a gloomy green, etc.  The method I use to randomly decide which film to watch each time and the rules I’ve invented to control this process, is a story for another day...

I don't do child profiles so also keep that in mind when looking at my stats.

2288 total
2049 color (89.6%)
4 colorized (0.2%)
229 black and white (10.0%)
39 mixed (1.7%)

Black and white is a much bigger chunk if you only count movies, though.
