| | Posted: | | | | I know how I can do this the *hard* way but I'm hoping there's an easier solution.
I have one default database that's pretty big. I have some custom genres and what I'd like to do is take specific genres (that I don't watch much) and split it out of my main database into a separate database I can manually open separately.
I know I can create a new database based on my existing one and work backwards to delete each movie one by one but that would probably take hours and hours to delete each one manually.
Is there an easier way I've missed?
Thanks! |

| | Posted: | | | | There are two possible solutions that I can think of -
1) Just download the relevant profiles again to the new database.
2) Backup your existing database. Go to the new one & restore & select Restore Specific Profiles.
Edit: Sorry I missed the bit about deleting from the main database. North's response sounds like the easiest. | | | | Last edited: by Ardos |

| | Posted: | | | | If I read you right, another way would be to filter based on genre, and flag all visible. Then backup flagged only and restore into a new database. Once you're happy repeat the process and this time just remove all flagged profiles from your original database. |
