I would like to see the possibility to export the database to Word / Excel. I cannot find the option, but it would be very useful for sharing my database with others.

You could use the CSV Plugin for export into *.csv format. this can be imported in MS Excel.

I do not see any advantage in that for me, I like to know he cast often, but that's not my main priority.

All created reports are nice etc, but they are not easy to be shared on paper if one has no printer. (I have a printer connected to another PC where I (unfortunately) cannot get dvd profiler running...no rights at the office to install software

If you just want to share your collection with others all they need is an internet connection and this link to your online collection which is http://www.invelos.com/DVDCollection.aspx/Devio
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

OMG I totally missed this plugin!!! I have been building my own "BulkEdit" spreadsheet plugin mainly to test the data retrieval engine I use for my other plugins. Oh well, if anybody wants to play with it, send me a PM. I'll release it if somebody thinks it can still be useful. The major diffference is that I load either all profiles, filtered, wishlist or flagged. I must say that one can learn a lot by looking at the work of a real "pro"(GoodGuy). I love the way that he deisgned his GUI.

Here is a screenshot of this "work in progress":



Edit: BTW I apologize for the overlap. Had I noticed the other plugin, I would have still needed my test tool, but I probably would not have packaged it for potential release. Goodness knows we have enough to do without duplicating stuff. Of course now that I have so much invested, I would release it with the slightest of encouragement. On the other hand, I will refrain if it would be deemed rude.
Thanks for your support.
