Stupidly didn't think of adding genre to my 1500 dvd's when entering them...
Can somebody please think on a method how to add them more easily?

Thanks, Barend

So you have 1500 new DVDs and add Genres to all of them?

Phew. I don't know if BulkEdit can do this, but as a start:

Flag all your RomCom movies by pressing the space bar.
Select the first one.
Edit it and add Romance, Comedy as genres.
Select DVD->Copy
Select Collection->Flagged->Paste->Genres.

Now all your RomComs have Romance/Comedy.


But be aware: If you paste genres (or any field for that matter) you cannot mix&match. So if you have a Sci-Fi RomCom and later paste the genre Sci-Fi on all your Sci-Fi movies including one you have tagged RomCom previously, the RomCom genres will get lost.

DJ I agree your method seems best. I don't see any need for BulkEdit in this case, but you could use it if you just happen to have it open doing other things.
Thanks for your support.

@ DJ DOENA:

Thanks for your hints!
Could you please elaborate a bit?
Like: where do I tag and where do I hit the space bar?
I still find the program rather bewildering (wish somebody wrote a book, I would buy it!).
The only thing I'm capable of is entering dvd's and searching in the upper left field...

Thanks for your trouble!

Why don't you just download the genres that are already assigned to your movies from the online database?

This will at least give your moves a starting point which you can change or add to at your leisure.
