Using scripts for a selection of movies

Post by crocodilu_q »

Hi,

I don't know if this is really a bug, but it sure is annoying :).
If I select let's say 10 movies from the list and than press F6 and run a script (let's say for tv.com, but it happens with all of them), then AMC starts to download data from the internet.
Everything good so far... but: AMC doesn't take the movies in any "regular" order.
Sometimes it takes them in the "Number" order, sometimes alphabetically and sometimes completly random.
This is very annoying in a situation like this: I have 1000 movies, select all of them, run the script and then for some reason stop the script after, let's say, 200 movies.
In an ideal case, I would have the first 200 movies done (sorted by number)....but this doesn't happen all the time: from 1000 movies, I will have 200 completely random. Think how nice it is to complete the other 800 :)
I can think of some workarounds (group titles by any field - the other 800 will al be grouped togheter) but this is not a clean solution.

Can this be corrected so the script is run for each selected movie accordingly to my sorting options ? (by number or by title)

Thank you.

You are right, it does not do any sort before applying the script. I'll force it to sort them by number or title; but this will still not be perfect: in the case that the movies are grouped they may still be in a different order if you select movies from different groups.

It will be great to sort them by the same option that sorts the movies in the database: if I sort them by number - it should apply the script in the same order and if I sort them by title it should use this sorting.
Consider that the movies are not grouped in any way, or at least that I use movies just from one group.

Thank you.

Sure, that's what I'll do ;)
