===Split episodes===
===Split episodes===
The most common occurence of this are movies: almost every movie adde 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 the file 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.

===Separate subtitles===
===Separate subtitles===
Very often movies will first be released as RAWs without subtitles, then afterwards, subtitles may be provided; but you can't be sure which RAW the subtitles are made for. The wrong raw for the wrong subtitles will most likely make the subtitles out of sync. With shadow-files you would be able to add the raws and the subtitle files to the correct shadowfiles in order to group them together in a logical way.
