You could implement the Z39.50 protocol and get access to the collection information of various libraries. A plug-in architecture for data sources would be cool because then people…
One thing I really like about LibraryThing is that you can sort books by LC Call number. I'm not sure if this is a common way of sorting among people that use book organizers but …
Damn, I was just looking for a sorting algorithm for Library of Congress call numbers and ended up having to write my own. I should have called LibraryThing!

Comic Books!
I wish the folks at DM would make a seperate app that can catalog comic books, there isnt a single app out there that has the polish that DL has nor the ease of use.
…
Maybe.
Delicious Library has an easily hackable XML file, yet there's not that many good utilities out there adding functionality lacking in the actual program. That makes me wond…
Comic Books would be great, but I'd really like to see better suport in DL for comic trade paperbacks — you know, the bundled issues of comic sold in bookstores everywhere.
For so…
I may not be completely understanding the question but I would want another category of Collections (like Comic Books) called something like "Songs", or maybe "Singles", in additio…
Mmm...I like wine. That would be totally awesome if it had wine collection capabilities. Automation (à la Amazon), on the other hand, might be a little difficult.
One of our most common requests is for supporting new types of things in collections. There are usually problems with any of them, although often the problem has just been that we'…
Comics would be great

Precious Moments
Boyd's Bears
Transformers (points to TFU.info (hint hint))

There may be some copyright issues associated with us keeping a central repository of cover images, so we don't really have plans to pursue that right now. However, we do have som…
I'm not buying it. DVDProfiler, the #1 DVD library app in the world, has been keeping a central DB of everything for almost a decade now with zero issues whatsoever. It's time for …

For instance, they pull their movie info from IMDB, which has a lot more people behind it than DVDProfiler.
Wrong. DVDProfiler is more accurate, more co…
So, it turns out DVDProfiler is Windows only software, which starts to explain why I'd never heard of it. While the greater point about user-contributed databases stands, that woul…
Okay, then don't keep a central server full of images, just keep a central index, or even just a list of "who's online" (i.e., who's running DL right now, or a background DL server…
