Global update/fill

Post by Larrie »

:) As a new user I am very impressed with the product and the quality of the forums. I tried at least three others and finally found AMC. I was able to import almost all of the fields for all my movies (891) from Movienizer. However, there were some fields that didn't import so I added custom fields which I would like to populate with a default value. I created the fields with the required default and it works just fine for the new movies which I added. However, the imported movies have the field as a blank (which makes sense.) I looked through the scripts and the forums for a Global Update function which would place a single value in a field for ALL records. For example I have a field "Location" which I would like to populate with a default value. I would be more that happy to change the few that are different. Does one exist or should I start studying AMC's source code.

I also downloaded the reader to my Archos 101, Android 2.2 and it works flawlessly.

Special kudos to the developer. :grinking: I haven't seen such responsiveness from commercial tech support let alone an open source program. The answers from forum members are equally impressive. Guess Open Source and GNU do really work.

Hi Larry,

You can run the script UpdateFields (Tools > Scripting to see it) on all your movies. You will have to select the action to do on fields. Just choose the action "Replace a field" and follow script instructions ;).

Thanks for the quick reply. Tried it over the weekend and it worked perfectly. Just what I needed. I am quite impressed with ANT, the developer and the forum. ;)
