All my custom settings either match the default rename database, or I've added them to the custom one. So then once every 3-6 months (depends how often I remember), I use the IMDb+ plugin option to refresh my entire collection. There is also a seperate IMDb+ option for this that only updates certification/rating/missing-fields, to avoid messing with your custom adjustments on title/summary/etc.

Really need to update the wiki with new screenshots, but the method is still the same as per: http://code.google.com/p/imdbplus/wiki/InstallPlugin#Refreshing_your_collection_with_IMDb+

I just let it run while I'm asleep or watching other movies. You might need to tweak the Moving-Pictutres advanced settings if you want to refresh your collection while watching movies/etc, such as reducing the threads, as it does require a beefy system to do all at the same time. Actually with DXVA2 decoding it does not require much, but that all depends on how concurrent friendly your codecs are, as during import the same codecs are used to obtain all the MediaInfo data/etc. Having an SSD for all the database and artwork storage helps as well. Look for like a letter in your collection that you do not have many movies on, say Q or Z and refresh just those (option to do so inside IMDb+ refresh menu). Then quickly switch to MovPic and watch a movie, and see if you notice any stutter/issues, if not then you can just refresh all.
