Shadow Files: Difference between revisions

This happens a lot when series air 2 episodes at the same time; there is normally not a separate opening/ending, and the episodes flow seamlessly into each other. 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 anime 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>

|valign=top style="padding-right: 5px;"|Currently if the file you have has multiple episodes in it, you need to add a generic file for the other episodes if you want to keep your mylist correct.

|valign=top style="border-left:1px solid; padding-left: 5px;"|With shadow-files, you would only add the file you have, and both episodes would be added to your mylist.

|valign=top style="padding-right: 5px;"|Currently if an episode or movie is released in many files, you would have to add each of those files to your mylist, and if they are not part of the regular episodes (i.e., listed as "<tt>O1 Episode 1 (Part 1 of 2)</tt>" and "<tt>O2 Episode 1 (Part 2 of 2)</tt>"), you would also need to add a generic file separately if you want your mylist to look like it should.

;Split episodes:Currently for things like movies, when split files are released, they will get added to episode 2 and 3 (or 4, 5 and 6 in case of 3-file-splits).<br>However, if it is an OVA, this is sometimes not feasible, and it may get added to a special "Other" episode instead.<br><small>''[[Files:Split-episode_files|further information]]''</small>

;Multiple episodes:The current workaround for split episodes is to add the file to the first episode that it contains, and add [[generic files]] to your mylist for the remaining episodes in the file instead.<br>For some OVAs though, there will be special "Other" episodes added named something like "O1 Episode 1-3" or something like that.<br><small>''[[Files:Multi-episode_files|further information]]''</small>

;Separate subtitles:There are a few different cases of these:<br>'''1.''' One subtitle file for one episode: the file will most likely be added to the episode with a comment telling which RAW(s) it belongs to.<br>'''2.''' Several subtitlefiles in an archive of some sort: The file will be added to a special "Other" listed as something like "O1 Subtitles for episodes 1-5".<br><small>''[[Content:Subtitles|further information]]''</small>

'''Note''': Though not completely implementing Shadow Files, [[Content:File_relations#File.3C-.3EEp_Relations|file<->ep]] and [[Content:File_relations#File.3C-.3EFile_Relations|file<->file]] relations take care of some of the situations above, read the respective documentation for more information.
