Box Set Barcodes

Movies Movie Collector
1

Just wondering, why when I have a BoxSet to my collection (and let’s say it has 10 individual movies). When I add by barcode it dutifully adds it to the BoxSet. But when I search using the barcode it says no movies exist. Now I have figured it out, and can manually go into each film individually and add the barcode…go back and search by barcode and all the movies show up.
THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. Maybe in future updates it could be fixed to update all when adding to the collection.

Hm, it seems that a local search indeed does not include the barcode field that is part of the box set. That would be nice to have and I’ve put it on the request list. Thank you!

Thank You AJ
At my age…I’m not in a hurry for anything. I appreciate the fact that it is on CLZ “To Do List”.

Sometimes boxsets have individual barcodes sometimes they don’t. Always different. Takes a lot of maintenance to get them the way you want. Glad to see them on the “to do list”.

Is there any update on this? I have just purchased CLZ connect and CLZ Movies for iOS and discovered I cannot search for titles via the boxset barcode.

Thanks

@Laszlo_Kovacs this topic was about Movie Collector Windows, not for Movie Connect / CLZ Movies.

What exactly are you not able to do? Can you describe the problem for me with examples?

Sorry I thought I had messaged you last week to disregard. Double sorry that I used the wrong platform. Forgive me.

Hi @CLZ_AJ. Thanks for the reply. The exact same issue as above. If you add boxsets but select ‘individual titles’ the titles are added but their barcodes are left blank. The barcode exists with the parent ‘boxset’ but this doesn’t appear to be indexed for searches.

It would be great if:

  • barcode boxset was included in search (it currently isn’t Movie Connect / CLZ Movies).
  • you could batch update item barcode from the parent boxset barcode (if search isn’t going to work).
  • you were given the option when adding boxsets to copy the boxset barcode to each individual title.

I think it might be important to have the barcode stored at the item level (when it doesn’t have its own barcode) as I don’t think you can batch move items from a boxset? The boxset itself doesn’t have a location unless it has been added a single entry? Even if an item does have its own barcode you don’t necessarily want to have to get it out of the set to scan it. You ideally want to be able to find all the items within a boxset by scanning the boxset barcode.

Would you like me to add this to both Movie Connect and CLZ Movies forums?

I just checked this on Movie Collector Windows and you can search for boxset barcodes so seems this was fixed in Movie Collector Windows but is still an issue for Movie Connect / CLZ Movies. Do let me know if you want me to create new requests under Movie Connect and CLZ Movies.

Thank You Very Much…I it’s not broke…I can live with it. At my age I have plenty of free time on my hands to make it work.
Have a Great Day.

@ltexasn don’t worry. I’m just talking with another user on this forum - not about the Windows version. Sorry for the confusion.

@Laszlo_Kovacs I’ve taken note that this is broken on Movie Connect and CLZ Movies and that we will fix it.
