I have an Acer netbook on which I have Profiler indstalled.  I hadn't updated anything since the middle of last year.  I may be mixed up on the order of some things as I've been fooling with 2 computers but I'll give it my best shot.
I tried to install my latest backup prior to updating profiler and that was a no go; version conflict.  I tried a database repair prior to updating and managed to delete all my cast and crew.  I restored from the backup on the netbook.  I installed an older version of BulkEdit (2.37?) and when I started profiler saw the message about something being added which I haven't seen on my main computer.  Flagged a few profiles and selected BulkEdit and the window opened as expected.  Closed it and updated Profiler.  BulkEdit no longer worked.  Restored database from latest backup and still no success.  The netbook is so slow I'm not exactly sure where I am now; I do other stuff while it's doing it's thing.  I'm not sure if I installed the newest version of BulkEdit or not.  I'll try that later but I don't have time now.

I have everything in All.  I checked and I have the latest version of BulkEdit on the netbook.
I think it's important that the new plugin message hasn't appeared when BulkEdit installed on either.

It seems that you have gotten what you need, so I will have to leave it there.

You're welcome. And I don't mind solving a problem for one person - it's just that we haven't found a way to be successful in figuring out what is causing the error.

Good news!  I was able to restore the database on my desktop (3.9) with the backup made on the netbook (3.8). This ought to hold me for another few years.
I still suspect that that when Profiler did not acknowledge that a new plugin had been added is an important clue to solving the problem.  I don't know enough to investigate further.  If you need a guinea pig, I'm available.

The plugin was not new. Profiler remembers every plugin it has ever seen in the Windows registry. You will get that message only the first time the plugin is installled, even if you re-install Profiler, and even if you re-install the plugin, unless the developer changes the internal plugin ID.

I'm not so sure about that. It might be because that's the way a particular developer likes to do things - change the GUID on each version. But I don't think it is automatic. I might test it sometime.

Yes, BulkEdit actually does some work when a DVD is selected. The slower your PC, the more noticeable this effect will be.

Profiler 3.9.0, and maybe even back to 3.8,  have introduced new features that plugins can use that will make this work more efficient. I just haven't gotten around to re-writing that code.

Since this code has been there, unchanged since day 1, I doubt that it could be the source of your recent problems.

I just took a look at some of that helper code, and still haven't found anything.

BulkEdit used to have a fair number of users. I have lost track of that, and I wonder if many people are still using it. If so, it would be good to get some corroboration of success / failure of the latest version to work correctly for other users.

Hi mediadogg,
first of all thanks for providing this much appreciated tool.
One question, though: Is it possible to modify just some profile fields (say "Location" and "Notes") by importing a csv file, and leave all other fields unaffected, so as to merge data?
Somehow I couldn't manage that; when importing my csv file I deleted all other information.
Sorry if I missed anything from previous posts, but I couldn't read through 45 pages.
Yours
CGF.
