Change fields on several movies simultaniusly

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 2005-01-26 21:19:18

This is my first post in this forum, so I would like to start out with saying that AMC is a fantastic program - you have done a great job with this application!!!

And now to my question: is it possible to set a field on more than one movie at a time? I have tried to mark several movies and then enter something in e.g. Borrower, source or any another field?

Regards

This can be done easily using script.
Select the movies in the list (ctrl+click to select several, or shift+click for a range) then go to Tools -> Scripting, click Editor, then New.
Between "begin" and "end" insert a new line with :

Code: Select all

SetField(fieldSource, 'this is the new source name');

Then click "Run".
The list of field names is in the Help file.

Ah, finally I figured it out (I'm not familiar with programing, so it took me some time to get it right

)

Thank you very much!

Maybe I'm stupid but when I try this, ALL movies are changed.
I only want to change the field for some of them, the ones I selected.
I also tryed unchecking the check boxes and then selected like 10 movies.
But still all my movies were changed.

Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

On the right of the script window, you have options to specify if all movies have to included, or only selected movies.
