Hi
I am a new user and have got on remarkably well with this fine software.

I would like to set the Last watched field to a common date in one of my categories. Does anyone know a way of doing this? I have looked at BulkEdit but it doesn't reference that field.

As a very new user I hope I haven't missed something obvious.

Thanks in advance
John

Flag all the profiles you want to have that watched date (either using the space bar, CTRL-A or any option available under Collection -> Flags)

Then go to Collection -> Flagged -> Last Watched

Many thanks Karsten. i did find it and it was pretty obvious; thanks for not pointing out how obvious it was !!

However....only half the group now show a last watched date in the collection list though they do have an entry in the history the same as those that do show. I can't differentiate between the two groups for the moment. Any ideas of where to look

That may be just a refreshing error. Press F5 to refresh or restart DVD Profiler

No I have tried that a couple of times. It doesn't change the display at all

Even after restarting Profiler?

When you press CTRL-H on a profile that doesn't show a watched date in the list: Do you see one in the History?

Fixed. The  database was corrupt and I was getting catastrophic failure messages from BulEdit though I don't knoe why. Anyway all the pointers were wrong. A quick restore and a new update and all is fine.

Many thanks for your help

Before you restore an old backup, you can also try the Database Repair, available in the start menu or in DVD Profiler under Tools -> Options -> Utilities
