Hi:)

Is possible in the new version add this feature?

The best if when i do right click under a media laber, for example Tom cruise, and i click ADD, the movie info that i imported have the media label write

Sorry for my terrible english

Hi,
Sorry but I do not understand your question
When do you want to right click? On what?

sorry my english is terrible:)

my AMC is organized in media label mode:

media label: the name of the director
source: number of the dvd

for example:

media label: Tarantino Quentin
source: Tarantino - 1

every time that i want add a new movie, after that i have imported the info i must enter the media label information manually

the best for me is that i do righ click under the name of the director and i click "add" and in the movie info imported i have in automatic add the media laberl

thank's

Why do you need to put the director in "media label" field? Why not use the "director" field?

If I understood what you want, you want to click on a field with right mouse button and have an option to add a new movie with same value in the field as the one that you clicked?
That's a little strange as function, I doubt that many other people would use that.
You can copy the field, add a movie (alt+ins) and paste it in the field of the new movie.

If you just want that the script imports the director in media label field, you can edit the script, find where it does a SetField(fieldDirector, ...) and replace fieldDirector by FieldMedia.

@antp: This is related to his previous posting viewtopic.php?t=2996 . You suggested him to use the media label field for this

An example, i have the movie Angel heart by Alan Parker but i haven't it one the Alan Parker DVD but in the Mickey Rourke dvd

So, don't know why i can't rename the group

@LucMa: Hi, maybe you should try to group/order by "Director" field again. If a film (like "Angel heart") appears on a wrong director then (like you said "Mickey Rourke"), you only need to open the film and correct the "Director" field of this film (change "Mickey Rourke" to "Alan Parker") - now it will be sorted on the correct group. You do not need to "rename the group", and as you know the field "Director" will be imported automatically

Just to know: Which script are you using for importing movie infos ?

indeed

Note that there were also non-director group names.

becouse i haven't only dvd whit director series but many with the actor series
Schwarzenegger , Van Damme and many other aren't director so i can't order in director mode

"If I understood what you want, you want to click on a field with right mouse button and have an option to add a new movie with same value in the field as the one that you clicked? "

yes is correct

"You can copy the field, add a movie (alt+ins) and paste it in the field of the new movie."

yes but is easy the other way in automatic mode

many thank's

Yep, I misunderstood. I thought it was just about some wrong names (imported) on director field, not that he wanted groups for directors and actors on one list.

Hmm.. but what if Schwarzenegger and VanDamme appear on Tarantinos' next film at the same time ? VanDamned, it's getting complicated..

Another note, not only especially related to this topic:

Is it possible to allow "drag&drop" for marked text - from websites to AMC (like it could be done with pictures) and/or from fields to fields ? You can drag marked text from browser (at least Firefox) to other apps, but unfortunatly not drop it into AMC fields..

As a side effect it would be easy to i.e. mark director/actor and drop it into media label field without the need of typing/copying/pasting the name (although it is a kind of copy/paste)..

I do not know how drag & drop of text between applications work, I should search for that.

On the other hand, within AMC I could maybe easily add drag & drop between text fields. It depends if Borland included that in the VCL or not. I'll add it to my to-do list.

For copy/paste I usually use Ctrl+Ins/Shift+Ins with my left hand, having the mouse on the right hand. I find that easier than using Ctrl+C/V as the position of the hand for that shortcut is not very comfortable, and much faster than using mouse only and contextual menu.
