Hello there....  A proposed suggestion to the Desktop Software and the Database:  A new entry field for Booklets or Inserts.

In the General Information section, and within Release Information, you can click to indicate if a Slip Cover is included or not.  I would propose if an additional field could be created in this section for Booklets/Inserts.  It could be a pull-down list to select from that would indicate:

-  None (default)
-  Chapter Index, printed inside cover
-  Chapter Index, single sheet
-  Booklet, multiple pages

What do others think about this proposal?  Thanks for your repsonse!

FYI: It is generally accepted to include Booklets in the Other features field.

The Other Features field sometimes does not have enough room for complete and accurate data.

This feature request might solve that problem by eliminating this data from that section.

I like the idea of using a tick box and eliminating the need for this data in the Other Features section.

I think the answer to that problem would be to make the Other Features field hold more data, which is also easier to realise.

I generally agree with you that there are becoming fewer releases that feature Booklets or Inserts than there used to be.  However I will mention that there have been some recent Blu-ray releases that have featured the Chapter Index printed on the inside of the cover sheet, and can be viewed through the translucent blue plastic case. 

I started this request mostly to inform whether there is an extra booklet/insert/chapter index included in the package.  Sometimes when I buy a Used DVD/Bluray, I do not know if an booklet/insert was normally included or not when it was New.  From others who have entered the disc into the database, it would be helpful to know if an insert was to be originally included when it was New, so then I can be aware if the previous owner or store left it out or not. 

Thanks to all who have replied on this subject!
