Screenshots of a movie, pictures bug, export template

[LA]

to demonstrate quality of the movie in the catalog, pls, add ability to add screenshots
it will be great if program will make screenshots automatically (for ex., on 5th, 10th and 30th minutes of the movie)!

also please note that every picture (even existing pictures, not screenshots only) should be saved with filename as Original Movie Name, not as translated, because not all webservers support non-english characters in filename (or it will be better if you will add ability to use some convertation tables to convert translated name into english).

and for export function, plz add something like templates. So for ex., I want to save sql file with defined (in template) name of file, name of table and with defined parameters by pressing one button.

thanks. the program is the best!

In the future I'll add support for multiple images

That will probably never be added

Lots of movies have accents in their original title, it won't solve the problem. I should add something to clean title to convert special characters and replace spaces by "_".

and for export function, plz add something like templates. So for ex., I want to save sql file with defined (in template) name of file, name of table and with defined parameters by pressing one button.

The name of the file should be remembered, the table name is an option that is kept too... I do not see what you mean.

why?

The name of the file should be remembered, the table name is an option that is kept too... I do not see what you mean.

in previous version of AMC (3.4.3) it didn't work (the table name isn't kept)...
but I want to press just one button, to save sql file with pre-defined parameters (without choosing File-Export-SQL-path&name etc.)

[antp]

why?

Too much work for making that, not useful for enough people (including me)

but I want to press just one button, to save sql file with pre-defined parameters (without choosing File-Export-SQL-path&name etc.)

I know that I have to improve the export window. I'll probably add an option to export automatically using last settings.

also please add option to automatically add into the field MEDIA name of file instead of adding label of volume...

and for scripts: please add in title of Choose Movie window the name of current movie, because if it was batch run, it is hard to understand for which movie info is searching (if author of the script didn't include this information in his script)

That's not very logical to put the file name in this field...

I added it in results window I think but I forgot to do that for all windows.

may be... so, you can add option to do it/or not to do it
or may be you will add new field, which will store filename?

In version 4 I'll add "Files" field.
When I said that it's not logical to put the file name in Media field, I was meaning than some people would put in Comments, some in another field, then I would have one option per field per info to import

I want to allow visitors of my site to add new movies. After some verification, I plan to upload this data into AMC. The site (which is written on PHP) will generate text file with inputted data (as csv file). But in order to upload this file I will have to choose columns every time.

Is it possible to remember columns or to create different upload type?
So, for ex. you will have option to upload csv file with pre-defined columns layout. Something like:
id,orig_title,tr_title,description,rating,
etc.

may be in version 5.0/6.0 you will add feature to work with MySQL directly?

One of the high-priority feature is an option to "autodetect" columns in CSV import if there is an header line in the file
