[QUOTE="OrionHall, post: 192934, member: 56502"] Hi Zupe, Glad it works for you. I found a bug in the code which removes database entries for missing files - it would only work if the missing files were originally in the location you're scanning. So if the files were in \\server\movies\ and were then removed, scanning that folder with the 'purge database entries' option would work. I found that if the missing file had a different path (maybe \\server\newmovies) then it wouldn't remove it. I've now fixed that so if you want to remove missing files, it should work happily. The only known reason for the app to hang is if it encounters a file where it can't easily read the media information (framerate and so on). It could be that it's incorrectly trying to scan a file which isn't a movie, or the MediaInfo.dll I use may be having problems. Either way it -should- eventually finish. I'm currently working on allowing you to cancel this process if it's taking an age. To be honest I doubt the logfile is directly involved as the process which writes to it is very simple and it shouldn't cause any problems. Impossible to be sure, of course. Re: opening Ant after modifying the database file - this would be more easily done with a script. You can create a batch file which runs my updater, and then runs Ant automatically. Also since Ant can be configured to always re-open the previously used file this should be quick and easy to do. The script would be along the lines of... c:\AMCUpdater\AMCUpdater [command line options here] c:\Program Files\Ant Movie Catalog\MovieCatalog.exe If you save that as a .bat file it should do what you need. Cheers, OrionHall. p.s. New version with a few bugfixes on its way soon! [/QUOTE]
