Hello, first sorry for my bad english.....

i have one question for this forum

I have in my catalogue almost 2000 movies and i saved all images inside of catalogue so now the file size is about 150 MB. Now I want to save nomore the images inside of catalogue bu in a directory.

I would like to know if is possible to automatically export all images that i have now inside of catalogue in a directory and automatically link them to the catalogue cause to make it by hand is really long......

thank you very much

Hi,
You can do that by saving to XML (file => save as, then select XML as file format).
Then you can either save back to AMC, or keep XML as file format.
Do not forget to also change the default picture storage method in the preferences.

ok i did it.... there is the possibility to save all images in a different directory and not in the same of the file xml/amc?

Currently, no, but you can move the pictures later and do a search/replace in the XML file using a text editor.

If the new movies have their pictures added by script, yes, it is a problem.
I forgot that as I am usually adding pictures separately (I resize them to 120x166 before adding them to the catalog manually).

yes, i add them by script.......
i have another problem, there is the possibility to modify a value for many records in the same time....
i explain better... half of my movies don't have the language value, now i'd like to add it but not one by one.....

thx

Using scripts it is easy.
To set the language for example:

Code: Select all

program NewScript;
begin
  SetField(fieldLanguage, 'English');
end.
