Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and new to this scripting language as well; so be patient with me ...
Anyway trying to develope my first script I've found out that any script executed from tools --> scripting is automatically re-executed as many time as the size of the database.
Good to know but is there a way to have the script executed just one time?

As a matter of fact I need to make a script to prepare a CVS file before being imported into the catalog and therefore It must be normalized exactly once.: >

Thank u,
Mauro

Set movies to include option on right side of scripting window to selected and select exactly one movie. I have the same limitation for script Update_Scripts.

You might be able to find a more elegant solution using the SetStatic procedures on the first movie and checking this "permanent" variable with next script execution, if someone accidentally runs the script with more movies selected.

Ok,
thank u for the two suggestions. Selecting just one movie is more than enough at tihis stage. Maybe I will add a dialog to remind me to do such selection before starting the scrip
: >

Anyway the overall impression is that Ant Movie Catalog is really great. And the scripting engine is really fast. Whith a simple script I could rebuild my catalog of 500 movies in one day !!!

Grazie,
Mauro
