No, not really, sorry. JavLuv assumes you're managing a single global database.
Technically, that's because all the program settings are stored in a pre-determined location, like C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\JavLuv. You can actually swap these settings out by swapping out folders (I do this for testing sometimes), but it's not something I really recommend in most cases.
Can I ask why you want different databases? It sometimes helps to understand the specific use case.
thank you for this info my DB is unmanageable just too big at this point I'll try swapping folders
Hi, back again. So I've been working on filling in the blanks in the actress profile pics, and one of my ideas came back to me.
Something I would like - it's really just an indulgence, not a make or break issue - would be to have multiple, switchable profile pics available.
I always struggle with choosing just the right profile pic - one that really captures the essence of the actress, and most importantly gives me instant, on-sight familiarity, as I'm perusing through the titles.
Lately I tend to pick a crop from a cover of a film that I know well, and tend to immediately identify strongly with an actress.
However, in the beginning, I had this really dirty penchant for having each profile pic be a screenshot of each actress as nude as possible - waist up boobs at least, full body if possible. If none of that was available, I'd settle for as sexy and/or revealing a costume or pose as I could find. Having a wall of topless beauties, sorted in a favorite order, was really something hot to see.
So finally, the thought occurred to me, what I *really* want is BOTH of those pics!
Would it be possible to make the profile pic a "clickable" image, or some sort of thing? So it could switch from one image to another? This could either be per-actress switch (preferable), or all of them at once, if it had to be.
Your thoughts?

Not to belabor a point, but how many are we talking here? I've got over 5K movies, and I don't find it too hard to manage. Is there anything in particular that the program could do better to help manage things? Just curious.
You can already add as many actress images as you like. With multiple images, you can hover over the actress image on the left and right edges of the images and click to cycle through them. All thumbnail images will then use that image. Right-click to manage the images.
There isn't a great way to do this. You can sort of fake it by making sure the settings folders are synced, but it's not really officially advised or supported. It's on the to-do task list, as it makes a lot of sense to be able to access the DB from multiple computers.
OMG that is so amazing! Thank you! Quickest feature request granted ever!
So follow up question, how to import images per actress, then? It seems I have a big cache of images on a networked computer that I copied over from an earlier install of JavLuv, that seem to have gone missing on my original primary server computer. I'd like to reimport those, but I wouldn't want to overwrite any that I've added in the meantime. Is there a way to do this in bulk, or just I add them in via the program one at a time? Thanks again.
Actress images are assigned a random ID as it's filename, so if the associated local XML file is lost, there
is really no way to recover them. So unfortunately, you'd need to identify them visually and import them one at a time.
At some point, I'd like to add functionality to export and import all metadata in a more portable way. That would be useful for backups, as well as providing a way of exchanging data with others.
the one db is around 12k and there is another for 2k and there is anothher 2 HDD that I did not add to there yet
so total in 20K I think I think the big advancement would be a custom collection based on some used to define criteria such as genre, and series etc display it is a tab just as all movies and actresses would be the best
I keep my JAV sorted in folders by genre of my own taste, so like "schoolgirl", "cuckold", "nurse", etc. Then I multiply those folders and qualify them with refinements, "cuckold - husband watching", "schoolgirl - teacher seduce", etcthe one db is around 12k and there is another for 2k and there is anothher 2 HDD that I did not add to there yet
I think the big advancement would be a custom collection based on some used to define criteria such as genre, and series etc display it is a tab just as all movies and actresses would be the best
Using JAVLUV, I can then search for folders (I think by using the "/" prefix?) for any of those folder names, and/or the modifiers.
By typing in "/schoolgirl" I see all my schoolgirl genre titles, same with "/nurse - handjob" etc. It works really well. Of course, this means I must constantly be making and adding to genre folders, which is a Herculean task. But, I look at it as part of the fun and hobby aspect of collecting JAV.
Hope this helps, good luck!
There is a great little free renaming utility called renamer, https://www.den4b.com/ If you use "insert as a suffix" you can add key words, Schoolgirl, Cuckold, Nurse, etc. to the end of all of the files that are relevant. Then when you search in Javluv you can, for instance, type Schoolgirl Nurse Banana and Javluv will find anything that meets all of those criteria. I stopped trying to categorize everything into folders and I now just have folders labelled A-Z. Any files that I want to make sure that I find with a search I append the names with important search data, like Gokkun or a particular actress name.

I appreciate the feedback. I'm hoping to someday make collections a bit more flexible, so it should be possible to do that (separate databases, multiple network clients, etc), but it's going to be a bit clumsy with the current version.
I can see filenames getting pretty long there. Ideally I would like a sort of "tag" feature that doesn't alter filenames directly, just gives meta-tags that are searchable. That way I could tag to my heart's content and mix and match lots of videos together - all the cuckolded schoolgirl banana videos at once! If those tags could be integrated to JavLuv, that would be ideal.
But, another reason why labeled folders are still practical is when I'm not using JavLuv to search and watch videos, which is pretty often, since JavLuv doesn't have an Android release.
I see your point there. Sometimes I forget that others may have different modus operandi than I. For me there are only a few keywords that I would bother to manually add to a filename, mostly a specific actress name or with files that I know are not going to be discovered by javluv scrapes I may add "gokkun" , or "banana juggling" but generally the descriptor words that scraping provides are adequit for my particular peccadillos so I haven't run into a long filename issue however someone that had a wide spectrum of 'kinks', if one could call banana juggling a kink, may indeed run into that problem/ Cheers.
YES !!, I do it this way as well and if you add file to luvJjav you can search it by that sufix name already because it it part of the name very convenient but hard work renaming files
yes I do simular just with filenames ... it is still very hard to find something particular you watch long time ago
