| | Posted: | | | | Hello
I don't know what I did, but I lost my collection. I can get to the read me only online collection, but I can't get to the screen where I can add films and use the app. If someone could please help me with recovering my collection instead of having to re-enter everything which is about 3500 films, which I'm not going to do again.
Thanks in advance guys |

Thanks in advance guys My plugin BulkEdit can recreate a collection including all personal data from XML export. It can also create skeleton generic profiles from the online collection which you then use to download the contents, if for some reason you can't download it - but you should be able to do that. Search the forum. I have seen several times where this method was described. Be careful, there have been people who have lost their online collection by connecting it to an empty database. If all fails, and you want to try BulkEdit, let me know and I will be with you every step of the way. If I need to fix a bug, I will do it. We will never let a collection be lost, if it is at all possible to recover it. | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | Can you what led up to you losing your collection? Have you tried a database repair? Another thing to check is to make sure you didn't create/open a new blank database by accident. You can check by going to File -> Open Database and seeing if you have one or more databases listed. |

Thanks in advance guys Well I just ran my BulkEdit "ScrapeGoat" tool and created a skeleton profile database from your online collection. 3919 profiles. To create a full database, you need to "Refresh" all DVDs from the Invelos online. That will obviously take awhile. The skeleton backup file is only 42mb. Of course, after refresh, you will have a complete database, but without any personal information. No notes, purchase info, user info, loan info, collection numbers, custom reports and layouts, etc. Let me know if you want the file. If you have a recemt XML export, BulEdit was designed to create a database that includes personal data. Hmm, the tool seems to have missed a few. Your online collection runs to 4027. I'll look at the code. I wouldn't mind fixing it, but the missing ones are so few, hopefully you would be able to add those manually if I can't figure out what the bug is. | | | Thanks for your support.
