be cautious with how you set them up... I set one up up for a movie collection on a 6 tb hdd. That was set to refresh every time I boot\started dopus. Forgot how I set up as it up as I was play. It took me a couple weeks to figure out while dopus was spinning my media drive for a couple mins every I reboot. :joy:

Thanks for the quick help. I now understand that "File Collection" is a kind of "snapshoot", and "Stored Query" is what I want. DOPUS is getting cooler and cooler. :slight_smile:

It is very cool, fun, and powerful!!
