> [@klewis2006](#): > > _ **IF THIS FOLDER** _ is just information about my library, where it is stored, some text, and some graphics But it’s not. Looking again at one I asked about awhile ago I see some info I was surprise to see. Among other stuff I see the file “Info.xml”. It has alot of information in it including 142 lines of reviews for the movie which I find strange considering plex does not display user/site reviews. That one movie takes up about 6MB and has 219 files and 17 folders. But to answer your question, no. Plex has no such tool. We will have to wait for someone to crate such a tool.
