Req. Watched movie database (1 Viewer)

[wackid]

When i have watched a movie, i delete it from my hard drive.

May be you regonize?? Watching 10 minutes of a movie and you say to your partner "hmzzz allready seen this movie??"

Is it possible to make a "allready seen" database movielist with artwork and movie details?

Looks like a handy option to me........

There is an existing issue on this @ Issue 747 - moving-pictures - Preserve movie data after the file has been removed from the system - Project Hosting on Google Code

So sign up at Google Code and 'star' this issue, so that you are kept up to date on it.

In the meantime a workaround you can do is to not delete the movie, but to reduce it to '0-bytes'. This way MovPic will retain all the fanart and info on it and it won't be a big impact on your storage.

Maybe a stupid question, but what doe you mean by reduce it to 0-bytes. Replace the movie to a file with the same filename as the movie? Or use a schrink program.....

Easiest way is in command prompt, which is:

Linux = echo > filename
Windows = echo > filename

In Linux the above results on 0-byte, in Windows it results in 13-bytes (contains current Echo settings value, usually "ECHO is on."). Now I am sure you are used to GUI, easiest way is to write a little batch file with "echo > %1" and add that to your SentTo folder. Then you right click on your AVI/MKV file and SentTo -> Name_Of_Batch_File.

Warning: you might want to add a little warning dialog to the batch file, or write a little VBS script because it is a one way deal.
