==Why==
==Why==
AniDB is built around files, and the basic structure of anidb assumes that each file will contain one episode. This is often not true, in two variations: split-episode files, and multi-episode files. Also there is the case of separate subtitle files.

===Split episodes===
===Split episodes===
The most common occurence of this are movies: almost every movie added the anidb will have several different versions released by different groups, some will only be one single file released, but some will be released as part 1 and 2 of 2, or even part 1, 2 and 3 of 3. With shadow-files all the files would be under the same "Complete Movie" entry, and when you select to get a version that is split into multiple files, you would see that it has more than one file, and be able to get each of the files you needed.

===Multiple episodes===
===Multiple episodes===
This happens alot when series air 2 episodes at the same time; there is normally not a separate opening/ending, and the episodes flow seamlessly into eachother. If you add one of these files, when shadow-files are implemented, all episodes that are contained in the file will get added to your mylist even though you only have 1 actual file. Also, for animes that end in these kind of special episodes, the groups' status will change to '''completed''' instead of ''stalled'' as they are now.<br><small>''[[Groupentries:Status|further information]]''</small>
