Duplicate platforms

[vahacris]

What is the easiest way to duplicate a selected platform from a collection?

I wanted to separate PC Engine from TurboGrafx-16. In my collection I have TurboGrafx-16 with games from PC Engine and TurboGrafx together. All descriptions and categories manually edited and refined, all media selected and completed.

Now I would like to duplicate this platform to have two separate ones - PC Engine and TurboGrafx with the same content (games, descriptions, media, etc.) and then manually remove games that are not from a given platform.

What is the easiest way to do this? Any ideas?

@AstroBob probably the same thing I was trying to achieve with light gun games.

Right... so you don't actually want duplicated platforms. You want two separate ones. Select the games from the one that needs to change (can hold CTRL and select multiple) and then press CTRL+E to open the edit window and change them to the new platform. Doing so will change the platform they are associated with and move the media accordingly.
