[QUOTE="OrionHall, post: 320224, member: 56502"] Hi Carmenm, Ah - I see what you mean. I'll try and change the logic, so that on an Update run it will... a) check for a folder.jpg b) Link the folder.jpg if it is not already linked c) Download a new image if the folder.jpg is already linked. Please remember that the two modes are Import and Manual Update, not manual import :) Import is purely to find NEW files and add them to the database. If you run an Import and it says an entrie needs an update; it's because the file has moved and AMCUpdater will update the 'Source' to match the new location. The import logic has had this feature for a while - zebons added it as I recall - and it helps if you move your collection occasionally. It does not have any other way to say 'this needs an update' - because it's importing not updating. Does that make sense? For Manual Update, it assumes that you want to force an update based on the parameters entered. So you can run Manual Update to update the folder.jpg files by checking for records where Picture 'Not Exists' or Picture = "". I'll let you know when I have a new version with the folder.jpg logic improved. Cheers, Orion. [/QUOTE]
