Hi,
Haven't opened dvd profiler for a while (no recent purchases), but now when I open it, it says I have zero items in my library and I made the mistake of not uploading it here. I could start from scratch, but my library leans towards large.

However, I do have a backup, but when I point DVD Profiler to restore the backup from a directory (and I can physically see the backup file in explorer), dvd profiler says it's not there.

Clicking repair database seems to have no effect either.

Any ideas please?

Does the backup file have extension .dpb? If not, then it's not a DVD Profiler backup.

Yes, it's backup.dpb.. I do have another one that I can try to rename (currently *.dpb.bak though that's a couple of months older (But manageable).
I've copied that elsewhere, but in both cases, though I can see a dpb file in explorer, dvd profiler can't see it

I'm just not sure why the library has actually just sort of vanished as I haven't changed/upgraded my system hardware recently - though it is through Linux Mint if that helps?


If push comes to shove, I can slowly rebuild manually. I thought I had a large library - then people here are talking about 40 thousand ones :D
Thanks

And are you using File / Restore Database to try to restore the database?

I was - but I've just had a silly idea and it seems to have worked (Something peculiar in Linux I guess?)
Instead of going to my desktop icon which previously worked (and was wine pointed) normally and opened the library, I went to where the exe  is and went from there (right click wine there) - and it's brought the library up.

Going to back it up again now and perhaps upload,

Thanks :D
