Using Remove from Collection results in multiple "error loading the following entry" popups on restart

I spent yesterday using the "Remove from Collection" feature which is so slow as to be practically unusable (I have 1000 DVDs I've sold on and want to remove - it's going to take days to remove them all unless there's a quicker way than right-clicking and selecting "Remove from Collection" as it only allows one entry at a time and seems to take several seconds even on latest laptop with 16GB RAM and SSD)

Today I restarted DVD Profiler and am getting endless popups, one for each title I'd removed, saying "Error loading the following entry. Delete this record?" which makes what was a long time-consuming, tedious exercise even more tedious.

Clearly "Remove from Collection" is not deleting things properly!

And eventually after clicking through a lot of popups the whole thing failed with "DBISAM Error #8965 index page buffers corrupt in the table 'COLLECTION'"

Try a database repair.

DVDProfiler menu: Tools -> Options -> Utilities -> Repair Database
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I've done a database repair which means DVD Profiler starts, but that was not really the point of my post, which was to point out "Remove from Collection" doesn't seem to be working properly.

After the repair I now have an image for every disc in the collection showing up - which means I will have to do another "Remove from Collection" for items I'd already removed. Worse, where before I'd have one item to delete for a package (eg 24 Season 1) now I have an item for every single disc in the package.

I'm tempted to just start a completely new database collection starting from scratch - I think it will be quicker, but the reality is that "Remove from Collection" should be fixed to work rather than leaving titles it's said it's removed lurking inside the database.

what Lewis was trying to explain is that Remove from collection does work perfectly well. It's just that your database had a problem which stopped it working

You remember correctly; it does - just flag all the profiles you want to remove then

Collection -> Flagged -> Remove from Collection

Tick the check boxes and OK
It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong
