There is an option for not creating a group for empty values, in the Preferences window.
If you want to fill quickly a field for lots of movies, it can be done easily with scripting, I can help you if you want that.

wow... thanks for your quick reply... I am very enthousiast about this software

A script, however to fill quickly fill fields would be very useful to create groups otherwise I have to fill each field of each movie to create groups. If there is another solution let me know anyome
I have an additional question: I want to group several videoformats divx and dvd by videoformat but the software strange enough doesn't create a new group for each different format.

There is also an option that say to not create a group for movie that would be alone in this group, maybe it is because of this.

For the script, something very simple like this will set "divx" to the video format of the selected movies :

Code: Select all

program newscript;
begin
  SetField(fieldVideoFormat, 'divx');
end.

The list of field names is in the help file.
