Now that we can create custom genres, is there any way to assign a large group of DVD's all at once to the new genre?  I have over 700 DVD's that I had assigned to the "Special Interest" genre (and that I had also created a tab for) that I would like to assign to a custom genre without having to do each one individually...is there any way?  I thought of using flags but don't think there's an option to assign the flagged entries to a genre.

I'm guessing thay maybe once the excellent BulkEdit plugin is updated for 3.5 that may do it for you, but unfortunately it's not possible natively.

It turns out that Custom Genres is perhaps one of the things that might work already. I have programmed it to work, but a couple of people have reported problems. At any rate, be aware that custom genres get overriden by a profile download, so I have been requested to program an automatic lock on updated Custom Genres which will be in the next release - but if you want to give V1.12 a try, to see if it works for you. You just have to lock the profiles' genres manually after the update until I release V1.13.

Edit: Ok, I released it. Tested by doing a find/replace all of a custom genre, followed by "Save Validated Changes". The changes were made, locks were applied, and the changes thereby survived a profile refresh.

Report any bugs in the BulkEdit thread of the Plugins Forum.
