DVDProfiler 3.9 on Win7x64

- When I replace a DVD with a blu-ray via DVD>Change UPC, why does it not change the cover art and change the checkmark from DVD to blu-ray?  I change the checkmark manually, but that doesn't force any other update.

- Collection Number order.  I've seen some references about adding a new DVD or blu-ray, then re-ordering by Collection Number after the new inserted item.  Is this possible?  I just scanned my collection in about a month ago and did so in the order they sit on the shelf and prefer to view in this way.

Also, I have not been able to export my database to a usable Excel file.  I get garbage, or almost nothing in the created file.  Any advice on this?

Refreshing Profile & Images - worked great
Reassign Collection Numbers (eliminate duplicates & nothing below the new number) - worked great

Thanks for those.

Export Profile Database to XML?  Not so good.  It exports OK, but Excel either doesn't want to open the file, or after 10 minutes, gives me a lot of nonsense instead of any kind of comprehensive listing.

Or use ProfilerQuery to open the XML file, select the fields you need and then transfer to Excel.

Norton Security doesn't like the setup file for some reason.  Also, I think that plugin was removed from the official plugin page.  Does it work with newer versions?

Same thing with the "Move Saved Sets" folder in the second download, Norton has an issue with it.

Virus scanners are snake oils. Too many false positives but they miss the truly scary malwares anyway.

Haven't heard that one before. I agree with Karsten regarding virus scanners. Personally I never liked Norton. I switched to Avast, which nags a bit, but otherwise seems to perform fairly well. But unfortunately there is no such thing as a perfect virus protection.

Move Saved Sets is just a utility for those who have saved sets from an older version, so it isn't needed for you. So if Norton doesn't have a problem with the rest of the download you can still use it. Otherwise let me know, and I can provide a version without that utility.
