Might be I've misunderstood something fundamental here, but I have two collections (two databases) on this computer. When I made the second one, it asked if I wanted to transfer movies from the existing database to the new one - I transferred those belonging to the new database.

The problem is, I've added several new movies to my second database, but these should also be present in the first one - is there a simple way to copy information between databases? (Preferably so that I can chose those movies to copy from one to another, as not to end up with duplicates in one database).

Anyone?

Make a backup of your second database via File --> backup database

Then open your first database. Do a selective restore.

File --> restore database --> next --> choose the following options

Restore Specific profiles --> select all movies you need from the list
Restore coverscans
Deselect "Replace full user database" --> or you will erase all your other movies 

That should do the tric.

Thanks! That did the trick. A bit more complicated than I would have liked, but still good enough for my use.
