A suggestion to ease adding pictures and information

[Liddan]

Quite often I find a need for a function to add information/image to a number of several movies/series.
I will try to explain what kind of function I am asking for.

I mark for example 1-10, now I right-click to bring up the menu.
In the menu something like "Edit ->" or the like can be clicked.
Something like this:

Code: Select all

-----------------------------
|  Add...          Alt+Ins  |
|  Delete          Alt+Del  |
|  Get Information      ->  |  -----------------------------
|  Edit                 ->  |--|  Add Image                |
| ------------------------- |  | ------------------------- |
| Select Checked            |  | Edit field 1              |
| Select Unchecked          |  | Edit field 2              |
| ------------------------- |  | Edit field 3              |
| Group By              ->  |  | Edit field 4              |
| Display As Grid      F11  |  | Edit field 5              |
-----------------------------  | And more fields           |
                               -----------------------------

When one choose to edit a field for example "Country:" a small text-window will open where you can type in wanted text and it will appear in all country fields of the selected movies/series.

I hope I was able to explain what I suggested, my english is limited.

To edit a field for several movies it can be done with Tools -> Scripting (or shift+F6) then "Update all fields" script.
In the future I will probably integrate that better in the menus.
For the picture, what would the "add image" do when multiple movies are selected?

For the picture, what would the "add image" do when multiple movies are selected?

It would do the same thing as "Select a picture... (Shift+F7)" but for multiple series.

Another feature request: Mass "paste".

Which would mean that I could copy one movie and then mark a number of empty entries(or what should I call an unused movie slot?) to paste that information in all those entries.

Another request for a small feature...
Some way to mark a movie, like a small flag visuable in the list.
To mark unseen movies with.

Thanks for your time once again.

There are checkboxes for that (Tools -> Prefs -> Movie list -> Checkboxes, if they are not visible)
