Rusty, in http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5631#c19157 we ended with current string:

"Are you sure you want to remove all data from the Library database? This will delete all Library data, Playlists, and Filters but this will not delete any of your files."

I would suggest to change it into a string that would reflect that
- Portable device profiles are not deleted
- Media server profiles are not deleted
- all collections, playlists and library files are deleted

But searching further I found issue http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=8835#c29412 in which Lowlander suggested that ideally Clear Library would offer what to remove. It is also speculative whether "Clear database" really shouldn't clear whole database (whole MM.DB) including custom script tables and device profiles? What was originally purpose of the "Clear database" action?

Suitable text could be:
"This will delete all Library data, Playlists, and Collections but will not delete any of your files or configuration data. Do you want to proceed?"

Alternatively, we could make a few more changes to this function to both hide it, and make it clearer/more useful:

a) Move this function to the 'Maintain DB' dialog
b) Have sub-options as proposed elsewhere:

(o) Maintain the database:
 .... [ ] existing options
 ....
 ....

(o) Clear the database (does not delete any files)
 . . [x] Library data and Playlists
 . . [ ] Device profiles
 . . [ ] Media Server profiles
 . . [ ] Custom database entries

OK, changed text to

"This will delete all Library data, Playlists, and Collections but will not delete any of your files or configuration data. Do you want to proceed?"

in build 1601.

It would be nice though if the expansion of Clear Library as Rusty suggested is implemented.
