Hi Vlad,

I had a problem in that anytime I wanted to rearrange my movie files or entire directory structures (within my normal root), each individual movie's path would require editing - not good for 800 movies.

For example, if you had all movies in one single directory, and decide you want to reorganise into new subdirectories like A-C, D-F, G-J, etc, then how do you do it without spending the next month editing each movie???

So I wrote a simple PHP script that does the following:
- Opens a Movienizer SQLite 2.x database
- Scans the active root folders for files (any type)
- Creates and array of all file paths
- Loops through each file, searching the 3 relevant DB tables for matching filename.ext
- If filename.ext match found AND overall paths are DIFFERENT, then update the DB path</li>
- At end, displays statistics, with links at bottom for simulation mode and update mode - always start in simulation mode.

This type of maintenance functionality could fall under the "Manage" menu - trust me, people will love this feature. Or, if you have PHP up and running, then just run the script. Sorry about coding in PHP, but it was the easiest for me at the time. You (or someone else) can please improve on it and code it in Pascal.

Cheers,
Andy.

Sorry for a silly question but, how do you run a your php scripts please???

There is a plugin now that allows changing file paths for multiple files at once.

I would like to see a way of exporting your list of movies as a text file! Solely for the purpose of easily listing your movie collection to friends over IM, or Facebook, etc. Seems like it would be easy enough to do, too. Or is this feature already available and I'm missing it?
