ATTN: ANTP a great sugestion for your great program

[lepus]

First of all not sure if this has been suggested or not or if I’m even in the right place for this.

But any how what I feel would be a great thing to add to a great program would be the ability to add numbers. Now I know you can add numbers but right now you can only add numbers at the end of the last number. What I think I’m looking for is this is the ability to be able to shift all of your titles forward one or two or even more to free up some space in the middle or at the beginning of your list. Right now in order to this you basically have to start your list all over again and re enter all the info with a new list. This is starting to very old of having to make a new list every time I need to add some thing in the middle of my list and I can do that at all. UN less there is a way and I just don’t know it. Right now I have 879 movies and you can see how this is very difficult and frustrating to do every time I need to add a series like Roswell, CSI, Star Trek, and so on. You are talking about 5 to 10 days of work to do all of that.
This is what I’m asking here is an example.

Now let’s say you have Numbers 1 through 100 and let’s say you have “Roswell” series one right in the middle say at 45 through 50. Now let’s say you get “Roswell” series two and now you have to add them all the way at the end of the list lets say starting at Number 100 to 106. Here is the problem I like to keep things in order so I like to keep all the series the same series, like series 1 series 2 and so on. I know this can be done if I just sort by Title.

But there is only one big problem with that I keep my entire disk “Movies” in these thing call CD folders and in each one I can hold 264 disks and each sleeve is removable so that I can move things around very easily. So each disk is stored in each CD folder starting with Number one in Ant Movie Catalog all they way through 879 movies, that’s 4 CD folders.

Just to add Roswell Series Two is a night mare I basically have to start my list all over again and I have done this several times already and I thought there has to be an easier way to do this. That’s why I’m asking is there any way to add stuff in the middle of your list once it’s started? If not can you add my suggesting to the program I’m sure there are lost of other folks who have this problem.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

Shifting numbers could be done using a small script :

Code: Select all

// SCRIPTING
program IncreaseNumbers;
begin
  SetField(0, IntToStr(StrToInt(GetField(0), 0) + 1));
end.

This will increase by 1 the number of the selected movies (you may have to refresh manually the list by pressing F5 after executing the script).
And even doing it manually, you can change number of each movie instead of remake the list.
