Your post today: Posted: 2008-05-27 07:23:09 at: HOW DID YOU SETUP AMC TO STORE YOUR MOVIE COLLECTION? Is the answer I was looking for.
Thank You, It's sort of like a card trick. Can't get it, until someone shows you how it's done, then you feel stupid for not having been able to see something so simple.
Also the way you answered my post is PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your post is below:
When you use 'File -> Open' and choose an *.amc file, this is a catalog file. You should start with only one of such file..
Try again on the menu:
-> File -> New (Now you have a new, empty catalog without a name)
-> Movie -> Add (Now there should be an empty datapage for movie number 1)
-> Movie -> Get information -> From internet using a script (Now the scripts listing window should open)
-> Run a script (doubleclick, you will have to enter a movie name, script should fetch data from internet then)
-> When script has finished (and you hit OK) you should have 1 movie on your list, with title, cover picture and some informations about it
You should have your first movie on your catalog now. Do NOT start with step one again, now begin with step two (Movie -> Add) and add more movies to this list. Repeat that for some more films. Forget about groups and catalogs for the moment. Just try to get more films into that list. You can sort the films into groups later!
After you have some films on that list, choose -> File -> Save as and save the file (=your first catalog) to the name you like (i.e. catalog1.amc). You then can open that file again and add more movies to the list if you like..
