Hi all,

Got a database with some 1700 dvd's and bd's now.
Unfortunately, I forgot to populate the genre field. 
And obviously I can't search on "western" or "drama".

Is there a way I can somehow shorten the very time consuming process of opening every record etc. etc.?

If all you want to do is populate the genre field and nothing else, then I believe you can check all of your profiles, lock everything except the genre, then update all your profiles which will just update the unlocked genre field.

Open one of your Western movies and set the genre to "Western". Close the profile and select DVD -> Copy. Now flag all your other westerns (for example with the space bar). When you're done, select Collection -> Flagged -> Paste and select "genres" and "overwrite locks" and confirm it.
