How do I get DVD Profiler to default to the "ALL" list? (1 Viewer)

[WilliamG]

When I launch the program, it goes immediately to "Owned" and jumps to Terminator 2. I want it to go to ALL and be at the top of list alphabetically. This wasn't a problem until reinstalling it after having a major crash on my computer and reformatting :frowning:

 

[WilliamG]

C'mon ... doesn't ANYone have something that I can go on?

 

[David Von Pein]

As far as I know, it ALWAYS defaults to "Owned", and lists collection by #, with most-recently-added on top.
That's always the way it's been for mine. (On the rare occasions when the Profiler website is actually NOT down. )
I have no idea how to change it.
Perhaps someone else can add something.

Thanks for your input, David - maybe someone else has had this happen?

As far as I know, there's no way to make it default to ALL. However if you provide a link, you can make it go to ALL by adding &type=A at the end, like this:
http://www.dvdprofiler.com/mc.asp?alias=Dmitry&type=ANote that my signature defaults to Owned, but this link defaults to All. You can change ordering in a similar fashion.

Dmitry-
Sorry, but I *may* not have made myself exactly clear.:frowning: I'm not talking about the online version. It's the software OFFline on my computer that I'm having a problem with,so the link won't help. :b

 

[Dmitry]

Oops :frowning: Then I can't find a way to do it either :b

 

[David Von Pein]

Me either.

(I thought you meant on-line as well.) :b

 

[WilliamG]

Well, thanks anyway guys.

Under "Options/Display", select the option "Remember screen layout". That should allow you to default to an alphabetical listing. However, it seems to have no affect on owned vs. all.

Hey William,

I'm not really sure what you mean as far as All and Owned, but I can just click where it say "Name" and "Number", and toggle between alphabetalical listing and numerical listing.

I can't believe I didn't look at this thread last week, or I would have just talked to you about it yesterday. Oh well, see ya later.

Actually, it doesn't affect the listing either. The last selected order will be used when you open next time regardless of the setting of the option (I have mine turned off and it still remembers the sorting).

Scott -
That option was already selected, so no luck ... I tried UNchecking it, closing the program, and re-opening, but it did the same thing: It opened under the "Owned" tab and Tombstone: Vista Series was highlighted. I can only wager that the highlighted movie changed from Terminator 2 because I added one to the collection over the weekend.
Rocky -
BINGO!
I just played around with that option a bit and it seemed to have no affect, either. BUT, when I clicked "Name", the little arrow next to it went UP instead of down. THEN, I went in Tools as Scott suggested; RE-checked "Remember Screen Layout" and everything is back to normal! I don't understand it ... and I know this all really seems convoluted, but trust me, it worked!
Thanks - and thanks to everyone else for your suggestions.
And Rocky, I'll talk to you later!
