When files are missing from more than 1 drive, the program should display a message saying;

C: 56 missing files
Z: 12 missing files

Then you have to select which drive you want to see the list of missing files.

I think it would solve all your problems, wouldn't it?


When the selected drive is the only one that will be repaired, yes !
i think that would do the trick.

It would be nice if 1 hardisk could contain all my movies :-)

Don't know how other collectors store their movies, i use folders and harddrives with numbers.
On a NAS its easy to go to a movie if you know it's in a folder called "Movies 1" that contains
only 300 movies, it' faster than scrolling trough 2000 movies in the root of the NAS.

When you take a look at the prices of a NAS containing 4 or more drives, you can imagine
i rather use some removable external drives stat buying an second 4 bay -16Tb NAS :-)

Anyway, i think i'm not the only one with this problem :D

You're right :yes:

I had never considered this case scenario before, but now I realize that it'll be a welcome improvement.

I've found and fixed the bug that has caused this crash.

The new version 4.8.6 will be available in a few hours.

After i re-installed and everything worked without Problems, i thought the crash was caused by my Computer. You are like an pitbull.... Bitten into something you don't let go !!
That makes coollector to the best you can geht.

While I was testing the Mac version, I've been lucky to reproduce the bug. Apart from the crash, this bug could cause some files not to be listed. Everything is fine now.
