| | Posted: | | | | Well I found another method, go to my DVD collection and search for the word "Criterion" and I get 16 matches so that might well be all of them.  | | | | Blu-ray collection order; Music>Musicals>Documentaries>TV shows>Criterions>Movies |

Either searching for "Criterion" in General -> Title or searching for Studio "The Criterion Collection" bring up all 25 profiles I have in my collection. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

Ok thanks but I cannot figure it out, I keep getting a "No data selected". I just have not used this app a whole lot. Please give me the exact instructions. Id appreciate it! Problem is you asked about how to use DB Query plugin. Mithi basically said you don't need it for what you want to do, and told you how to do it with DVDP filters, exact instructions. Just a misunderstanding. If you are not familiar with filters in DVDP, I highly recommend you take a few moments and try them. | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | I don't know how to use the Database Query app but there is a simple way to get this information.
Open profiler and look at the top center of the page for the space that says "Type a title to find".
Type in Criterion Collection and program will bring up all the titles of Criterion that you own. |

Got it, so this area where it says "Type a title to find" is the built in filter you guys are referring to or is there another "built-in" filter in DVD Profiler.....if there is I sure cannot find it. Whatever the case is I was able to confirm that the search for "Criterion" on my collection page was also accurate. I have 16 of them. Thanks for the assistance guys, I appreciate it! | | | | Blu-ray collection order; Music>Musicals>Documentaries>TV shows>Criterions>Movies |

| | Posted: | | | | Oh and BTW the reason I wanted to know this is because I wanted to give my Criterions there own place in my collection. "(collection order is TV shows>concerts>musicals> Criterions>movies)"  So the Criterions start after "The Wizard of Oz" with "12 Angry Men" and the rest of my movies begin with "12 Monkeys". | | | | Blu-ray collection order; Music>Musicals>Documentaries>TV shows>Criterions>Movies | | | | Last edited: by jamestech |

| | Posted: | | | | These built in filters only work is if the contributors have built the profiles correctly.
That is place "The Criterion Collection" in the Edition section of the Title and in the Studios/Media section. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

There is a Filters window, which is one of the tabs in your layout. It you don't see it, use the "View" menu, click Windows and make sure "Filters" is checked. Or use the shortcut Ctrl-F. Maybe somebody can give a screen shot. This is so fundamental in DVDP, you would be remiss in not learning how to use it. @All, I looked for information in DVDP Help (F1), but it was lacking. Looks like we need a new Wiki entry "How To Use Filters." Or maybe a sticky post in the New Users Forum? (Funny - need a Wiki or sticky  ) | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | Isn't "The Criterion Collection" Edition, not part of the Title? As far as I know you can't do searches to Edition field with built-in filters.
EDIT: ...and I was wrong. If "Search within title" is checked Edition field is also part of the search path. | | | | Last edited: by Kulju |

I have a number of films of the original release and the Criterion edition. Why, be cause in some cases they have been cleaned up and the extras Criterion provides. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.
