My catalog is just saved as catalog Very well, your problem seems to be resolved. :grinking: :) Will you tell me if your catalog is a file "xyz.amc" and images are contained within it? Where did you changed the .jpg name? in a field of the catalog? in folder? in both of them? I'm really i...

Your catalog is saved as xml? Pictures are in a separate folder? please extract some titles from your catalog, save them in a next catalog and send it to me (with related images), so that I can well understand and resolve your questions. :hihi: My catalog is just saved as catalog? All the images ar...

Yeah so in the 'Original Title' field the films name appears when you import. The date appears in the 'date' field. I would love the film title to be in the format 'title and year'. So for example, "Great film (2024)". But I can't figure out how to get the year to appear in parentheses af...

You can try to disable the "use natural sort" option that I mentioned in another thread. It is supposed to sort numbers more like Windows does, but it does not seem to always work. And your second list looks like a basic text sort, so AMC would normally do the same without the natural sor...

You to go Tools -> Scripting, click the "Editor" tab and then the "new" icon (white paper sheet) and paste the script there.

All it ever says to me is "Error in statement at line 2" which is 'program AppendYear;'

... sorry... do you want to add year in file names (in your folder) or will you add year in field " file path " of your catalog? :??: Yeah so in the 'Original Title' field the films name appears when you import. The date appears in the 'date' field. I would love the film title to be in th...

No that's a different thing and that's all sorted now thanks to Python and ChatGPT. But it can take hours to sort out the sorting when AMC's export is so different to a list of directory from Windows.

When I export a list of files in my catalog to a csv file, they are organised differently to a windows file list of the same files in a folder. I can't upload an image on here so I will try to show. The first column is directly from AMC's export function. The second column was generated in DOS using...

I am really struggling here. Is the script editor the one you access from the folder full of internet scripts? I tried making a new file and input the details you gave me but no matter how I juggle it it just keeps saying there is a script editor. Is there any way I can access a simple text list of ...

No there are some proper anomalies. I don't understand either why they come up wrong. But the errors are there and I have to correct them all which is taking multiple hours. I'm going to try a few different ways of organising them and se which is the most accurate.

I've had dozens of those file inconsistencies the last few hours. I shall try where you said in preferences, and see if it helps. I still have many thousands to do so there's no shortage of testing haha

That means absolutely nothing to me lol but thanks, I shall check in help and see if I can figure something out.

If you export a list of items from AMC, it does not order them in the same way as Explorer does. So if for instance you export movie names and dates from a file, you can't apply them to files as they are out of order. Like Fear II will come before Fear I in Explorer. Very bizarre, but true. I'm on d...

I have about 6500 entries in AMC. They're all films and all have the year the film was released in the field named 'Year'. What I would like to do is include that date into the filename. So, 'Batteries not included.mp4' in the original title, would become 'Batteries not included (1987).mp4'. I have ...

Only just found this reply, thanks that solved my problem.

Ignore that. I rebooted after updating scripts and all is fine.

I just tried to download movie detail and I get a message http/1.1 405 not allowed
I updated the scripts but it hasn't seemed to make a difference?

Aha I misunderstood sorry

I use a program called Renamer Lite, free from den4b.com
It utilises regex to batch rename files.
Fast and accurate and brilliant

In my software (latest version) I have some entries in the 'media type' drop down box which are not relevant anymore, and I'd love to delete them, but I can't find a way. I can find a reference to the media type button and string in 2 of the files, but I can't find a list of contents or an array rel...
