**Last update for Plex 0.8 series:** - Added possibility to delete genres - CMD+V now works for all text fields Link again in the first post. @fanden: Sorry, support of Dvdpedia won’t be added. I don’t own that tool and don’t plan to buy it. And even if I had it, that would be much more work than I ever wanted to put into the PlexDBEditor ---

> [@](#): > > How does this application work? do we need to do anything than run it??? > > There is no data in the dialog?? Just wanted to ask if "the dialog is empty" is what happens to you ;) That mean's the database can't be found. Actually a popup should appear, but there was a small bug... I just fixed that. The editor is looking for the file \*\*~/Library/Application Support/Plex/userdata/Database/MyVideos34.db\*\*. Could you please check if that file exists in your case? ---

This app is great! Thank you very much. Do you think it is possible to also show/edit the tagline? I think it is field c02 in the movie table. Thanks again! ---

Does Plex use that information somewhere? I knew that it's stored in the database, but have no idea where it is displayed. So I thought it's not necessary... ---

Okay, will be added in the next version. But that maybe will take a while, I don’t work on it until Plex 0.9 is out. [Previous page](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plexdbeditor/3245.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plexdbeditor/3245.md?page=3)
