[QUOTE="OrionHall, post: 241910, member: 56502"] Hi Johan, I think the way the purge option currently works should do what you need, just not in quite the same way. Doing it with the mediatype sounds good - and I did consider it originally, but it would then only be of use if you make the effort and have your whole collection properly labelled. Not a problem if you build it from scratch with that it mind, but possibly not a good prospect for someone who already has a full database. Instead, I've coded the purge option to work like this... If you are scanning "\\server\movies\", or you have that as your override path, then the purge option will remove only the database items which a) have a path like "\\server\movies\filename.avi" and b) are not found in the scanned location. So if in this case there is a database entry for "d:\some movie.avi" or "d:\video_ts\video_ts.ifo" will be ignored. On the other hand, if you were to scan d:\ or have that as override, then all entries with a path like "d:\anything" will be removed. But I figure this is a logical approach - I have old archived files on DVD in DivX format as well as my whole DVD collection listed in MyFilms, and no problems so far. I hope that all makes sense, and do let me know what you think of this technique! Thanks for that - I'll look into the problem when I have time. Hopefully tomorrow or this weekend - I can't imagine it's a big problem, probably just missing a line to invoke the purge code from the command line. Saving the option to purge files is easy - I'll put it on the to-do list! Cheers, OrionHall. [/QUOTE]
