Appending from another database

This is how two All My Movies collections become one, or how a few movies move from one to another — when you inherit a friend's catalog, or when the “films” and “series” databases you started separately turn out to belong together.

1. Open the collection that should receive the movies.
2. Choose Database › Append from… and select the other .amm file.
3. A list of everything in the source database appears. Tick the movies you want. Invert selection helps when it is easier to untick the few you do not need; the list can be sorted by title or by date modified.
4. Two options decide what happens to the source and to the numbering:
   • Delete movies from the source database — moves instead of copies.
   • Do not import Movie Number field value — leave this on unless both collections use movie numbers and you know they do not clash; otherwise you get duplicate numbers.
5. Confirm. Cards arrive complete, with covers, screenshots, cast, episodes and personal marks.
