According to Ken when I previously asked about this, no collection number equals a collection number of negative 1 behind the scenes. I should be able to change this with BulkEdit on 3.8. I have all the stuff I want to denumber tagged, but I can't figure out how to do it. I'm looking for some quick way to paste the same value into a given column for all currently loaded profiles.

I was having some issues with multi copy as well, I got warning that the column was read only.

I was only trying to edit Location and slot info, ended up doing it line by line for 300 discs. It was still faster than trying to do it in DVDP.

That's what happened to me as well. Since I have about 2400 discs to change, typing manually isn't a good option.

Yea I only had to move a bunch to a new 995 so it wasn't too bad.

2400 I think my head would have exploded

Since this is a question about a plugin, you should have posted this in the plugin forum.

Gee whiz. Makes me a bit sad to see that several people had problems - was I not responsive when you reported the errors?

I just used BulkEdit on 3.8 Beta 1509 and used MultiCopy regedit and find/replace to edit Collection#, Location and Slot.

Is it fair to report problems after the fact, in the wrong thread, without having given the author notice and a chance to correct the issue? I got no chance to question your methods, which version your were using or anything.

I am wondering what the point is of me spending so much time on this ... (explitive deleted).
Thanks for your support.

I posted here instead of the BulkEdit thread because I was pretty sure this was a matter of not knowing how to use it, not a bug in the plug-in. (There was also a chance that the underlying bug that kept me from doing this in 3.7 wasn't fixed, but that doesn't seem to be the case.)

????????? I have even written custom code for you - and you didn't report this problem to me. Bulk edit was designed originally to edit location and slot, so what kind of priority do you think I would have placed on problems doing that? I'm flabbergasted  ...

Jim, I just happened to see Ace's post, I in all honestly figured I was doing something wrong. I have never personally had very smooth experiences with the multi copy feature.

Something else as I was working in the 3.8 Beta and I recall you were re working some code and checking on other 3.8 issues. In all honestly I was going to PM you today about it, figuring that it was how I was trying to edit the fields.

Take a breath, it is not like we were slamming your plug in and saying it was complete garbage and you don't support your software, we comment we had an odd quirk and I was just letting Ace know he wasn't the only one that seemed to have run into it.
