Accidentally deleted Collections library when I meant to delete its image - RapidScampi - 2024-10-28
The collections are still in the data/collections dir with the correctly named XML files for each collection. However, if I click collections now it will show everything on my server (TV, movie, music, and live TV objects). Any ideas how I can restore the library?

Ok, I created a new library and changed its source directory to the location of the metadata for the collections and it seems to have restored them. I'm going to assume this was the correct way to do this unless someone tells me otherwise.

I think just doing a "scan all libraries" may have restored the collection from the XML. But I've never had to do this to confirm, nor do I have collections in XML form.
