Collection Manager is a litle helper i programmed for my own needs.
You can manage your collections in XBMC. Create new collections, delete,rename and
manage artwork.
Add or remove movies from collections.
It works with MySQL databases (i prefer) or the native SQLite database.
Link to the zip file
If you like feel free to use or leave comments or suggestions.
Collection Manager needs no installation. Simple extract the .zip file to a folder of your choise.
You need .NET 4.0 so windows is supported only.
Go to File/Setup and fill in the values. For uploading artwork you need a folder XBMC and Collection Manager have access.
I prefer a UNC path. If you like you can choose the XBMC cache folder.

Now how do i manage the collection sets?
First click at retrieve data to get all information. Click on the right side at a movie set.
If the set contains movies you will see the movies on the bottom left.
Drag and drop the movies from (1) to (3) or (3) to (1) to make your desired collection.
If you want to add a post or fanart click on the preview window an choose your artwork.
It will be previewed after selecting. Collection manager will not scale the images. Right now
you have to do it by your own.
If you want to update the artwork select poster and/or fanart. Now click on 'save set'.
Collection manager will upload the artwork to your desired folder and make the database changes.
Select a movieset and right click the set window. You can choose 'new set' to create a void set.
Choose 'rename' to rename the set only. Use 'delete' to remove a set and the set references.
At last 'delete all' removes all movies sets and all references. Use it with caution.
To be sure make a database copy :-)
1) Main movie window. You can filter the movies with (10) or search by entering a searchstring (13). Play with it!
2) All available Moviesets. Filter with (5) or (6).
3) Movies in selected movieset.
4) Click here to retrieve all data from the database.
5,6) Filter for moviesets
7) Click to find dead references in the library. E.g. the movie 'The smurfs' is linked to a set no 100. But set no 100 is missing.
I have no clue why but i experienced this in my library. Click and if you like it will be fixed.
8) Artwork preview.
9) Click to clear poster/fanart.
10) Filter for the main movie window
