Hello, everybody. I just have a quick question. Is there a way to force AMC to refresh the catalog pictures?

I use scripts to download movie data including the pictures and I end with different sized pictures. I resize them later with another program but when I open the .amc catalog file in AMC Viewer I realize that the picture size has not been changed. Maybe it's a setting or something.

Right now to fix it I had to manually re-select the picture for each profile and that is painstakingly slow.

I will appreciate any help provided. Thank You.

No, it's not possible to resize pictures stored inside a *.amc catalog file. You would have to save the catalog to XML format to get external pictures, run some 3rd party software to resize all pictures in batch mode and then - if you need internal pictures - import the pictures back into the *.amc file (there is an import tool on antp's website for that).

I currently have my catalog set to link the pictures and store them in the catalog folder. I solved the resizing problem with this freeware utility which is very good once you set it up correctly. http://www.rw-designer.com/picture-resize Thank You anyway.

By the way in what forum should I ask about the ANT Viewer application?

I can't help on the viewer as I don't use it. Maybe the viewer uses fixed width and/or height values so that pictures are streched sometimes ? You can contact and ask the programmer Pryatna on http://www.priyatna.org/antviewer.php
