Thanks for creating and sharing the software. PlexEditor is great! However, it crashes when I use it to edit genres globally. Not sure if that’s because Plex Server has since been updated but at least I can still edit genres individually, which is still faster and easier than doing the same through Plex Server. ---

Looks like exactly what I need.  However, i'm running (for now) XP, SP3.  Editor won't run.  And when I attempt to install .NET 4.5, it tells me its not compatible with my OS.  Is this expected behaviour?  If so, no problem  Just making sure I'm not over looking anything obvious. Thanks again ---

Love editing my NMJ library with NMJToolbox.  Just starting to get into Plex.  If PlexEditor was a little more similar to NMJToolbox I would definitely pay for it. ---

Interesting program. Though I wish it allowed for the editing of data that the built in UI didn't. I wish I could edit the cast/actors metadata for instance. ---

I am on Win 8.1 and do not see that dialog box.  I have a different issue.... Where do you set the location of the "working copy" db? I updated the bat files and have tested each line separately.  Individually and together, they all work fine.  However, when I am done editing and PMS is restarted, the changes I made are not there.  In fact, the PMS db file still has the date and time stamp from an hour before and the working copy db has the same date and time.  It feels like I am copying the original to the working copy but that I am editing something else.  And when I close it, the working copy (which never had any changes) is just going right back to being the original. Is there a setting I missed or are there logs I can look at to see where it thinks it is editing.  I'm so close to getting this to work. ---

Just for fun, I uninstalled ALL versions of Visual C++ Redistributable, PEfW, and Netframework 4.5 on my PC.  Rebooted, reinstalled the Netframework, and let PEfW handle the C++ as the website says it should.  But no joy, same error on startup of the Editor I was getting before. ---
