[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 1006720, member: 103549"] Hi Dm. Yes you can copy the files in DB [I always do clean install, reinstall the plugins, run once in config mode, then install the DB contents] AND [big AND deliberately] copy the thumbs DIR - your database references the images, so nice to have them, downloading them takes a fair while.[I][/I] The DOWN side here, is your DB is based on your existing file paths - so for it to work, your new set up MUST retain the same UNC <[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(computing)[/url]> paths, if not, the DB will be useless as it's pointing to files in the wrong place. Depending on your set up & understanding, it is possible to manually edit the paths [I'd user sqlite3] within the DB itself, but you do need to understand a little SQL command line and the DB structure to do this effectively - as long as you retain a reference copy of DB, yes, you can break it, but restore is just a copy away. Also - 1.1.2 - should have no impact on video DB, suggest a move to 1.3 Final [as fully supports XP]. Cheers - JCMP. [/QUOTE]
