Not sure if this is "fixable".

I can't test myself, but if there's a problem, it should be easy to fix.

The mass replacement worked perfectly. In order not to mess with my "production" file I started with an empty coollection. I used "automatic: scan..." to import 38 iso files from S:\Movies1\. Then I used the Ctl+L functionality to rename the paths to //192.168.1.77/Disk1/Movies1/ (which is the IP path for Movies1). All the locations appear to have changed correctly.(cool) Hector wrote:Here's the new version:

To trigger the location mass edit feature, you have to use the keys combination "Contol + L".
('L' like Location)
My Coollector still doesn't show a Play Icon once the location has the forward slash and IP path. Also the path is not showing when I click on the play button. Is that supposed to be working or is that the next step?(cool) Hector wrote:Is there any problem ? Can it be better ?

Oops! That's why there was problems with the program I posted yesterday.

Well Coollector takes the "//" with this version but I can't get the paths to work. No matter, I'll go with \\192.168.1.76\etc.\etc. This works fine and accomplishes the goal.(cool) Hector wrote:Forward... Backward...
Just so you know, the Cntl+L does not appear to be working in this version.(cool) Hector wrote:Here's a new version that works with both "//" and "\": http://www.coollector.com/Coollector.exe
