Image management

Post by lukecs »

It would be nice to see an option to not auto load pictures with file load. I store my pictures inside catalog files but when it loads it loads everything into ram... really slows down the computer. On the other hand storing pictures outside the file is a huge pain because I have to manually go into each movie and change where the picture is, worse yet if I ever change the relative location of the pictures it would take forever. Would be nice to see a viewable field for the location of a picture so that I can manual change it instead of looking for the file or have a function that automatically moves pictures to a folder and associates them to the individual movies... and also a function to reverse this.

Its simply to hard to manage pictures when you have 70mbs of them

To force to switch to external pictures, you can save to XML (in the File -> Save As window).
And with the XML file, you can easily do search/replace with a text editor to modify pictures path.

In the future I will improve picture management by not loading everything when opening file, but I do not know yet how I'll do it ;)
