HTML image export problem

[Morphine]

Hi-

I use the media label for an informal movie name and the original title to display the true name of the movie.

For instance:

Media Label:
Jurassic Park 1
Jurassic Park 2
Jurassic Park 3

Original Title:
Jurassic Park
The Lost World
Jurassic Park III

This way they list together in what, to me, makes more sense for browsing purposes.

The problem I have is that when I export 2 movies with the same name to an HTML folder, AMC only creates one image file for the 2 movies.

For instance:

Media Label:
Gone in 60 Seconds 1
Gone in 60 Seconds 2

Original Title:
Gone in 60 Seconds
Gone in 60 Seconds

Image Files Created:
gone in 60 seconds.jpg

How do I get the export to use the Media Label instead of the original title.
Or if I used the wrong field when setting this up, how do I "quickly" swap these fields?

You could maybe use "Translated Title" instead of "Media Label" for that, except of course if you already use it.
There is no solution currently for duplicate titles, sorry. It is a problem that I have to solve. Same for duplicate numbers actually.
Note that for Gone in 60 seconds, one of the movies has "Sixty" rather than "60" in its real title
To copy a value from a field to another, e.g. move media label to translated title, you can use the "scripting" tool with a script like this :

Code: Select all

program NewScript;
begin
  SetField(fieldTranslatedTitle, GetField(fieldMedia));
end.

If you want to clear the source field, before the "end" keyword you can add the line:

Code: Select all

  SetField(fieldMedia, '');

Thanks for the prompt reply.
This really is a great program and any challenges that arise are usually user specific situations. It would be hard to cover everyone's setups.

I figured that would be your reply and it isnt going to be toooo much work. I didnt anticipate the "function" of specific fields.
One thing I find confusing is the many descriptions of name fields.

Original Title
Translated Title
Original Title (Translated Title)
Translated Title (Original Title)
Media Label
Original Name
then Formatted Title...

Could be caused by the support of multiple languages though.

To solve the duplicate number issue for my setup, I did the following:

I use three 400 disc catalog towers. Each tower has 200 sleaves (front/back pockets) to house the discs without cases.

I color code each towers physical disc with a pen color.

For instance:

#68 Office Space (blue ink represents a specific tower)
#68 Dances with Wolves (green ink represents a specific tower)

I use the country field to store information other than the country in this case.

Code: Select all

Country Field:
<td class="num1">
<td class="num2">
<td class="num3">

Code: Select all

HTML Template:
<tr>
          $$COUNTRY$$ITEM_NUMBER</td>

Code: Select all

Exported HTML:
<tr>
          <td class="num1">68</td>

Code: Select all

*.css:
.num1 {
	font-size: 20px;
	border-bottom: 1px solid black;
	color: blue;
	text-align: center;
}

But like I said everyone is different and I must say this worked nicely for my project. Now the color of the $$ITEM_NUMBER changes with each movie, depending on location of physical disc.

Thanks for the tip on the "sixty"

Well it isnt the answer I really wanted but since my original problem really doesnt show up all that often I found a simple work-around.

If % represents a space:

Code: Select all

Original Title:
Gone%in%60%Seconds
Gone%in%60%Seconds%

Exported Images:
gone in 60 seconds.jpg
gone in 60 seconds .jpg

It created the duplicate image files needed but is a tad ghetto.
Oh well - it works!
