[QUOTE="OrionHall, post: 294428, member: 56502"] Hi all, Wow - I'm offline for a few days and suddenly there's loads of posts here! Movie Title Handling: I'm going to change this whole section I think - it's quite inflexible at present. Fremel - that is indeed a bug. It shouldn't update that field but at the moment it does it without asking, regardless of what options are selected on the Database fields tab. I'll add a new option for 'Original Title' with the following choices: Use filename (and 'clean' with RegEx) Use parent folder name Use Internet Lookup data At the moment I'm unsure about the regex to clean the movie title. This could be one entry for a fairly complex regex, or I could do a list with individual items to strip/replace from the filename. I'm thinking something like the 'string replacements' option in the MyTVSeries plugin. Comments are welcome! Excluded Files: Jamieo - At the moment I'm not sure if I can get my file/folder enumerator (which does the actual file-level scanning) to work like that. The code does a simple recursive loop through the files and folders it finds, and for each file it finds it could be adapted to perform a bit of logic before adding it to the 'found files' list. I'll have a play and see what can be done. If you can give me a more detailed example of your folder structures that would help - PM me if you don't want it public or anything! Seco - Basic exclusions are already possible - the Excluded Movies file stores these as a simple list with a carriage return between entries. Enter the full path to each file you want ignored and they won't be imported. Excluding files based on dynamic logic is fairly complicated - how can the program tell the difference between sample / additional files and the main movie? For Jamieo's example, he's looking at a very structured file system which could form the basis for such functionality, but I suspect that's a fairly unusual way to store your films. And finally... z3us - I'm still not sure how you want the DVD label feature to work. If you move files from the hard disk to a DVD then how would the Manual Updater work? I don't see how it could update the media label like that. It sounds like you should run the main scan against your DVD-ROM drive, and hopefully it will work out that the files have moved; update the location to d:\ (or whatever) and update the media label to match. Does that make sense? Cheerio, Orion. [/QUOTE]
