Is it an idea to create an option for press files and / or press releases under “Type”? At the moment they are listed under “Album series” and the logic of that escapes me ...

For me, a press file is best with the album itself, a version B or C with the file attached. The mention "press file" would then appear next to the type of release.
The problem on the site is that you cannot yet search in the release or album info, so the press files cannot be found. Most users then change it to the album series "press files" with the number retained. In my opinion it is not correct, but with the current search options this is the only solution for the time being.
The problem is, of course, that the series is not mentioned, but luckily you can go a long way with the photos.

I had overlooked this topic for a moment.
Have at least now created the Type “Press File”. Great suggestion Blueberry!
Peter: What exactly can you not find via the search bar? If you now search for “press” or “press file” you will find under album series the link “press files” to all press files that have indeed been added to that album series (can now be done with the new type). Or do you mean searching in what is entered in free text in the Details field?
As far as I can see, the series is well filled in through the story in all press files. The press files are therefore also included with the series. Do you have an example where the series is not listed?

Press files are very often shipped loose, without the album, Peter.
So you can hardly ever see it as an 'album with press file'.
For that reason that press file should just remain a separate item.
Unless, of course, there is a "press edition" of an album, as was often the case with "Free flight" in the past.
But they are also really listed as b, as far as I know.

A press file is usually on the occasion of an album and when you come to the press presentation you usually get the album with it. I feel that a personal file remains a part of the album whether it is sent separately or not, but that remains interpretation and both systems are usable.
Rene, I did mean with the album info, including a press file as a species is already a good solution because now it can at least be found even though it is all in 1 big list.

Hi Peter, I don't think I understand you properly. A press file can also be found with the series or authors? Do you have an example?
