Initialize Database closes program and empties database. - Axodious - 2013-10-04
I'm not sure what this is suppose to do and clicked it, I got an error that said something similar to "Failed to initialize database. Please try restarting." The program then closes itself and when I re-open it the database is empty. All the settings are still there, just the movies and TV shows themselves are missing and I have to re-import them.

It's working as expected - except the error message you got
Initialize database will delete the whole database to start with a "new" one. That is needed if you got some sort of database inconsistence.
I may add a warning popup with clarification of this function rather than executing it directly
