Feature Request: Export Watched Flag and moviepathes over IP instet of DNS-Name (1 Viewer)

[crackmaniac]

Hi,

i hope you will understand my englisch.

everytime i move my movies to another path i got the problem that i have to set the watched flag manualy after the new import of the files.

Isn't possible to get a feature which export the watched flags? I had a look at the database structure and saw the hashcode of the local media. This is a unique "file discription" on which the watchflag could be insert to the database.

A second good feature would be, if i could use the IP instet of the DNS-Name of a pc to add movies. So it's easier to move the files to another computer or network share.

The best way would be the opportunity to edit the filepath to the new one. I made this in a extended way

open the database with SQLite Database Browser 2.0 b1
export to sql-file
search and replace the pathes with notepad++
save
import with SQLite Database Browser 2.0 b1
save as new database
replace old movingpictures.db3 with the new one
it works

if you could implement this features it would be realy nice

If you 'move' the files from one working import path to another, all the other information is kept. The moving however has to be done quickly, or otherwise it is seen as a delete and then a fresh re-add. If your harddisks or network are slow, then simply shut down MovingPictures, move all the files and then open up MovingPictures again.

The hash values are then indeed used to verify it is the same file, so in that case the only change made is the path location in the database. Watched flag, watched counter and all movie information is retained.
