Fri Sep 14, 2012 1:15 pm

Hello again ..I am very grateful for this wonderful program ..Currently I have a Hard of 2 terabytes size I want to make it a movie library and through my work on linking movies and Trailers I would have liked, there is such button like in image below for the purpose of adding another film from the same window

Thanks again

I'm sorry, but your request doesn't make sense to me (even though I know that you mean "another").

It looks like there's something you haven't understood about how the program works. I need to figure out what it is.

Please tell me what method you've used to add the video file from the screenshot. Did you go to the movie, then clicked the "play icon" ? Or did you select the menu "Tools->Scan my video files" ?

The window from the screenshot is a video window, showing the video technical details.

You can't add a video to a video. That doesn't make sense.

You add a video to a movie. For that, you have the "play" icon button, or even better the menu "Tools->Scan my video files".

You've never tried the menu "Tools->Scan my video files" ?

If you have 2 terabytes of files, you'll be amazed how fast it works. It's a life saver !

You can't trust the scanning algorithm entirely, but if you check the results and make adjustments when necessary, you'll get excellent results.

The scan results window allows you to rename the file to make the match work. If that doesn't help, the last recourse is to set the file as "not recognized", and to later add it manually with the "play" icon.

I tried to make the scanning algorithm as good as possible. Please tell me if you find cases where you think the algorithm could have done better.

Yeah... the SCAN method works very well and fast - I would never want to add each movie manually (some programs, thats the only way to add videos).

I also have my movies very well Titled. "Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon [2011]".

There is a program 1-4a Renamer that will make renaming a large collection easier and faster. You can set a Find->Replace for words like "DVDRip", replace underscore _ with a space, etc... etc...

The scanning algorithm has no problems with underscores.

It also doesn't have any problem with "DVDRip" or whatever, as long as it's placed after the title (the algorithm matches the longest string starting from the beginning of the file name, and discards all the remaining words after that longest matching string).
