when you are exporting from. amc file to xml do not all images follow with! why is it so

what do you mean by "not all images"? none? or only some?

I had no problem when i converted to .xml

If I remember correct, only internal pictures are converted and copied with XML file. If you had a catalog with internal and external pictures mixed up for whatever reason, you will have to copy external pictures manually.

I've got mixed, I see now when you say it
thanks for the help

aaaaand... another problem: If you have a movie with "different original titles" (separated by | or another invalid character) and you want to export the covers with the "original title" in the filename, then those covers are skipped.

Strange, I thought that the character was remplaced by a "-" ... I'll check that.

I tested it with a new catalog and with the movie:
The original title "Saam gwok dzi gin lung se gap"
The original (English) title "Resurrection of the dragon"
The german "translated title" is "Three Kingdoms: Der Krieg der drei Königreiche"

Therefore, my formatted title looks like

Three Kingdoms: Der Krieg der drei Königreiche (Saam gwok dzi gin lung se gap | Resurrection of the dragon)

I imported the data of the movie with cinefacts.de script (and with world-of-video.de and others). On most websites had the original title been separated with a "|". This char is also written in the xml-catalog. In the Edit field in AMC you see two squares (not printable char, I guess).

When trying to add a cover, it is not stored, because the file cannot be created with that name
I tested it also with a couple of other movies. It seems, that the ":" does not lead to problems. But you should check it for yourself again.

Indeed the "|" isn't even properly read from the XML I wonder what causes that, but in the meantime except using another character I do not know what you could do...

I replaced all my | with another character and now it work's like a charm

But probably you could try to fix it in a future version
