| Thursday May 26 08:52:26 2016 Episode numbering format |
| I'd like to know where (as an example) "1.01" comes from. Why not "1.1", like IMDb lists it? I see no reason for the extra zero, since we're not using "01.01". |

I don't know about anybody else, but I've been using the extra zero since my first personal database, which was back in approx. 1980. Aside from making the entries more readable, it was needed for sorting (1.1... 1.10... 1.2... etc) When I first started using Brian's DB in place of my own, I kept on doing it out of habit, though at the time I was using an "x" instead of the period (i.e. 1x01). Jay kept on changing the x back to a period, so I switched over to save him the work. |

I'm having that problem with some of my episodic filenames (20 coming after 100 due to not being named 020, etc.) |
