Filter (or anything else) for duplicate movies

Melmoth:
@ Rick: As always you're right. A prefix would be total nonsense...

And I came up with a new and very convenient solution: I use title formatting, somehow someone anticipated my needs and added the "release" field to the list... awesome...

I think it would be better to add them as a suffix—so they don't affect sorting. At the same time, add the title alone

Yep
I currently add a suffix to my duplicate movies ("(HD)" added to all high definition movies).
And yes I have a field with the title unmodified:- "Original Title" seams a logical place for this.

CAD:
Could you use the quality field,  Media Label or features fields.
Perhaps modify the skin you are using to make them more prominent.

Perhaps Nostra can make more than one field unique to allow for multiple titles. Like a "unique checkbox" that stops record being deleted by database clean.

buah:
I use two custom field checkboxes (third and forth picture above).
One field is "Duplicate to list" - meaning "this duplicate is to be manipulated with"
The other field is "Duplicate" - meaning "this duplicate isn't to be manipulated with"

Any movie duplicate mustn't have both checkboxes checked, but must have one chekbox checked. That's how I know if movie is duplicate, but still can get unique query results.

Adding to the title results in the difference between 2 otherwise duplicate movie entries being visible in the left hand scrolling title list.

While it is true in could be added to several other record fields, they are only going to be visible after I have selected a record.
Looking at the options for title formatting, I could use the "Release" field then display that in the title. Not sure what it is suppose to be used for. Not sure what functionality I would gain as a search for "HD" in title already rapidly lists my HD movies.
