You know, after all these years and hundreds of TV shows, I never even noticed. I've now looked back at shows from 2000 and sure enough, no director etc. My apologies, I'd never noticed that before and thought it was a fault. I just added another film and that worked fine.
It's no bother to ...

Oh I see. What I might try would be firstly ensure portable AMC is in the same overall folder as the films, and the films etc would be in their own sub-folder, inside the main folder. Drag and drop the file onto the interface of AMC. You will notice that the file path appears in the File Path ...

I have only ever used AMC in a portable way for all the years I've had it. However I don't understand your question or what you wish to achieve. If you wish to use it portably, just download the portable version from the website?

I just downloaded the info for the 2024 series Landman. I noticed that's the second show I downloaded info for today that had no directors info, no producer or writer info, and no date. Is there a problem with the script or is there no info for download in those categories?
I've just checked back ...

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 ...

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:

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 after ...

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 sort option ...

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? :??:

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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