I didn't think about that, but it is good that you could solve it then.

The syntax is SetCustomField(tagname, newvalue)
So if WatchedUnwatched is the tag of the custom field that you want to change, that line is correct. If the field has a different tag, that may be the reason why it does not work.
For the other line, MovieName := ('Films: Newly Imported'), the ...

Thanks, yes it is nice to have been able to make something useful to so many people
Thanks to Microsoft and its good compatibility, 25 years later it still works without big issue.

Il utilise déjà "l'autre" si le titre choisi est vide, normalement.
Pour faire une recherche sur les deux à la fois, il faudrait faire deux recherches et assembler les résultats (en filtrant les doublons), c'est déjà plus de boulot. Et avec Allociné qui bloque parfois la recherche, ça risque de ne ...

Are there any valid programs that can replace AMC today? Or are you working on a new version (which would be great!)


Sorry, no, due to lack of time I won't work on a replacement project.
I don't know in the very long term if I'll be able to keep AMC running forever, but in worse case some day I ...

I don't really have an idea of what could cause that, especially since you have also the issue with a regular installation and not just with the portable version (in case it didn't like the location from where you execute it).
Maybe some service/application running on your computer is trying to ...

These old applications do not support very well scaling, that's from an older era (made with tools from 25 years ago...)
Microsoft seems to have changed the way it works too, and do not provide option to use the old scaling system. So even if it somewhat works in older versions of Windows, with the ...

It seems that there are tools to convert HLP files, some day I should try that too.

edit: it works with this tool:
https://www.helpndoc.com/step-by-step-guides/how-to-convert-a-hlp-winhelp-help-file-to-a-chm-html-help-help-file/
but some work is still required to clean the resulting files.
One more ...

It could indeed be a possibility to use PDF instead of CHM for that.
What tool did you use to generate that?
It has a few drawbacks though. I think that simple HTML files may still be easier to use, with a proper menu (replicating the menu from the CHM).

If changes to the code are submitted, I could indeed include them officially.
The annoying part of making changes in the program, in addition to update the documentation, is that all translations also have to be updated.
So all what impacts the GUI (including fields) are implying some work as you ...

Tu as bien la version 2.67 du script ?
Je n'ai pas eu le problème sur les films que j'ai testés.
Si tu as bien la dernière version, tu peux fournir des exemples de films sur lesquels le problème se pose ?

Hi,
If you can generate a list of the new names in the same order as Ant Renamer lists them, using the action "From file" allows you to do that (you can copy/paste your list of file names from Excel to a text file or directly to Ant Renamer).
If however you need the link between existing file name ...

Possibly the code to find the next ones in the page is failing then.
I'll try to check that some day.

Description is something different from plot outline?
You mean that before it was getting the additional content on the /descs page ?

4.2.0? That's quite old. Why not upgrade to the newest version?

I don't think it would be an issue to have a lot of extra entries per movie entry, the major issue you could encounter is the size of the catalog if images are stored in it.
But if you store images and linked external files, that should work fine.

I tried to assign keys to most of the functions, so ...

It was a feature added by Mickaël among the few other ones he made between version 3.6 and 4.2.1
I think that originally it was mostly for having some actor-related info and additional images, but I never used it myself.

Indeed, the inclusion of help documents is more something from 20 years ago (but the program is even older than that).
I could easily publish on my site the HTML files used by the CHM, I'll put that on my to-do list

Hi,
Thanks :)
Sorry for the delay, I check the forum only once every few days.
Indeed using a custom field is probably the best solution, the user can then create a custom field with the appropriate tag (the script could rely on a parameter for that tag, so the user could change it).
There is a ...

Hi,
You are welcome to improve the IMDb script if you can
There is no one working on it "officially" currently, but of course it is possible that somebody is working on it without saying it first
