[soulsnake]

Ok I will see that too .
But before to start new version I am waiting a little for bug report.
It is always a Beta for the moment .

Good night all!

hi,

I perhaps found some bugs in the custom field processing (AMC version from 29.10.).

1) Date in a date field is always set back to today´s date when i change the movie in the list. The marker also gets lost.

2) default value in all fields is not shown and not even selectable for list field.

3) multiple values do not make sense in an interger field and do not work of course.

Hi J

Date in a date field is always set back to today´s date when i change the movie in the list. The marker also gets lost.

Date is always set back to today´s date when checkbox is unckecked.
Is this also occurs when checkbox is checked ?
If yes, what is your regional short date format ?
Mine is: dd/mm/yyyy

Edit: Ok I think I found the bug .
Can you try it?

default value in all fields is not shown and not even selectable for list field.

Default value is only used/added when you add a new movie.

multiple values do not make sense in an interger field and do not work of course.

Yes, I know, I will check this!

Thanks !

AMCU 4.0.0 [BETA] Updated !
I fix some bugs!

hi soulsnake,

1)
dates is now changing as expected, setting new date will set marker as well and will be remembered when changing the movie. --> OK

2)
uncheck date marker for one movie and then changing to another movie will check first movie again, date untouched. --> Hm, OK?!

3)
uncheck date for two or more movies will change date of first movie to todays date leving it unchecked. Other movies will be untouched and checked again. --> Bug?

4)
changing a date, then uncheck, then change movie will change to todays date unchecked regardless which date it was before. --> Hm, intended this way?

Well, Im not 100% sure what the checkbox in the date field is good for and I´m sure nearly nobody will make stupid things like that, but u know, normally the hardest thing to do is the "error" exception handling for weird users.

Default value is only used/added when you add a new movie.

OK, but then I have to write it in the list values field too to choose it later again. Not a bug, only a bit uncomfortable.


I do have another small question for the grouping of the movie list. Is it possible to group the movies by rating to less groups to have all movies from e.g. 7.0 to 7.9 in only one group? currently its grouped by every tenth and this makes it uncomfortable to watch.

2)
uncheck date marker for one movie and then changing to another movie will check first movie again, date untouched. --> Hm, OK?!
Answer: Should not but it works normally for me!?

3)
uncheck date for two or more movies will change date of first movie to todays date leving it unchecked. Other movies will be untouched and checked again. --> Bug?
Answer: Should not but it works normally for me, again!?

4)
changing a date, then uncheck, then change movie will change to todays date unchecked regardless which date it was before. --> Hm, intended this way?
Answer: Should not but it works normally for me, again!?

For me all work normally.
What is your OS? XP, Vista, Seven?

For now you can't but you can remove decimal rating in options.

AMCU 4.0.0 [BETA] Updated

I change some things on date format/conversion to take into account regional date during display, import, etc.
Default date format is now 'yyyy-mm-dd' ('dd/mm/yyyy' before).
Please be carefull on it and report me any bug.
Thanks!

Didn´t know. That´s fine for me.

I´m commonly using very old XP SP1 with unknown runtimes. All the described behaviour may be affected by this.
Now testing with 7 x64 & same AMC version:

1)
As before.

2)
now unchecked but set to today´s date. Exact the opposite than before.

3)
now every movie remains unchecked and set to today´s date.

4)
As before.

==> OK, now in every case the unchecked movie(s) will be set to today´s date and remain unchecked. Seems OK. Every unchecked date is set to todays(set in system) date every time you load the database or change the system date, right?
==> So old XP environment seems to be the problem.

One small inconsistence I found:
If boolean default value is set to true, text "True" is written in the fields manager next time you open with modify. -- OK
If boolean default value is set to false, no text is written.... -- Missing "False"

Yes! Actually, when date is unchecked it is same as an empty field. So we put today date by default.

So old XP environment seems to be the problem.

I try to fix this bug by changing something in updated version.
Can you try it again... I have not XP here (W7 x64 too). Thanks!

It should be OK now.

Can this mod scan a harddrive/disc for files?

Hi,
sorry for my bad english.

Compliments for the great work.

I have a problem....

I am a beginner...

I can not import data into a custom field, from a script.

I create a custum field called "Trackers". I make up my script to function SetField (fieldtrackers, variable) and I have an error: the name field is not recognized. Why?

Perhaps the custom felds are not recognized as a scrip for the movie fields?

Ciao

Not for the moment but I will add it in futur version. Please wait...

For custom fields, you have to use this functions (you can read help too ):

Code: Select all

function GetCustomField(fieldTag: string): string;

Reads and returns the value of the specified custom field of the current movie (fieldTag = Tag associed to the custom field).

Code: Select all

procedure SetCustomField(fieldTag: string; value: string);

Stores a value in the specified custom field of the current movie.

Code: Select all

function CanSetCustomField(fieldTag: string): Boolean;

Informs the script if the specified custom field exists and is checked or not in the modifiables fields list. The script does not have to worry about that since a SetCustomField will not do anything if the field does not exist or is not checked, but this function allows to prevent for example to download an additionnal page in the case that some field does not have to by imported anyway.

Code: Select all

function CustomFieldExists(fieldTag: string): Boolean;

Informs the script if the specified custom field exists. The script does not have to worry about that since a SetCustomField will not do anything if the field does not exist, but this function allows to inform user that field does not exist.

Example:

Code: Select all

SetCustomField('Trackers', 'Test value');

Hi,

you're right I had to read the help... apologize for my impulsive.

Only 5 days that I am passionate about your program and Delphi, sorry again.

You are the king.

hi soulsnake,
many thanks for custom fields support.
Is possible (or in future) to add custom fields something like backround (Fanart) manager on my picture?
http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/7151/antz.jpg
I use MediaPortal + MyFilms plugin. Fanart can be then easy imported like multiple backround images for each movie in MyFilms database and Fanart manager can give users full control with backround(Fanart) managnent in Ant Movie Catalog.

Would be great if we could multiselect several movies in the thumbnails view (ctrl + click)

You could use the AMCupdater that comes with MyFilms:

I don't know very well how fanarts are managed in myFilms plugins.
Maybe I will see this later.

I know but the list view and thumbnails view work differently and I have to synchronise them. So add multiselect on thumbnails view is a little more complicated (especially when there are groups).
Maybe I will see this later too.

Don't know if it has been asked before, but would it be possible to sort on more then 1 option?

eg. What if i want to find all movies with a rating higher then 7 and are in the Sci-fi genre ?
So the result would be all movies with sci-fi and a rating higher then 7, or all sci-fi movies from eg. 2011 ?
