simple A-Z checklist to add the movies I have?

Thu Sep 01, 2011 2:43 pm

I was hoping to see a simple A-Z checklist to add the movies I have. I haven't found that option yet. So far what I see is movie cover-box thumbs where Add to Owned list takes 3 clicks.

I'm not sure what you mean by "A-Z checklist".

If you don't pay much attention to the technical details of the videos you're adding, then the fastest way to input a video is to add it from scratch and to use the keyboard shortcuts:

1) go to the movie you want to add
2) press the "+" key
3) press the "enter" key
4) press the "enter" key again.

This can be done in a split second.

The video added from scratch will only have information about its media type and its language. Those 2 fields will be set to same same value that you've used the previous time you've added a video.


And in the case where your videos are video files on your hard disk, you can click the menu "Tools->Scan your video files".

OK, thanks Hector, I see now, easy. Btw, I was slow to return here, I didn't get an email (yes, even checked Gmail spam) even though I did set "Notify me when a reply is posted." ... as I'm doing now.

p.s. what I meant by a simple A-Z checklist was to have the whole huge movie list be viewable in a simple no-graphics list but with a check box next to each title to check off Owned (much like checking off as Spam in Gmail) and then be able to do a global Save/Add as Owned. Which then gets ported to the feature-rich graphic Owned list.

Yes, I know it doesn't work, but I don't know how to fix it. All the settings of the forum seem fine but... it doesn't work.

Sorry.

Below each grid, you have buttons to adjust the grid layout. If you set the number of columns to 1, and the thumb size to the minimum, you'll get some sort of list.

You click the movie and use the keyboard shortcuts that I told you.


But there are so many movies, I doubt this method is convenient. It's much better to use the string search.
