Hi:)
I changed the position of my movies (from D: to E:/Movie) and now I have to change all the FilePath in AMC. Can you tell in which files are stored the FilePath so I can edit it without having to do all the work from the beginning?

Or is there a faster way to do this job? I normally drag the film.avi on the tab and AMC import the info, but there is a way to do this automatically? For example say to AMC to import the infos from a folder (with subfolders) where I have all my movie, and AMC scan the dir and imports the info based on the name of the film (my films are nominated year - title)?

Thanks

If I understand well, you just have to replace "D:" to "E:\Movies" ?
You can run the script UpdateFields (Tools > Scripting) one time on all your movies:
- run the script
- choose this action "Remplacer un mot dans un champ (Replace a word)"
- choose the field where you store filepath
- click ok to confirm
- entrer the word "D:"
- enter the word "E:\Movies"
- finish

If you have a lot of movies to add, you can open import window, select import from media files and scan a directory with all subdirectories to add all movies in this directories.

ok, the script is perfect.

ok but after it there is the problem that I have to re-download all the data and the covers from the internet, in addition to having to remove the years from the name imported I'd like to find a solution for this problem because I still have 1200 films to enter the path

Why is this brilliant script NOT working for the Genre (Category) field???

I have tried either to:
Delete a field
Replace a field, or
Replace a word
but none of the above worked for the Category field, although they have worked perfectly for the Origin (Source) field.

Thanks in advance[/i]

Not True!
The script is OK, maybe you need to update it!
