Hi again,
I know I'm asking alot of questions of late but I'm still fresh to PVD and kinda excited at completing my database(s).
it is a great app... the further i get along in setting up my database - the more I wonder how I did without it. It makes life so much easier going through my tutorials...
Okay - on to the question at hand.
I have a couple questions regarding merging the databases now that rick and Nostra let me know there is
not a 1000 title limit. Hurray!
All m y db's are created using PVD v0.9.9 beta so you know.
I have one data base for regular movies - DVD's. About 300 or so. created with the protable version and once I get all the info and posters from online - I'd like to copy it to my HD and use it with the regular version. However...
In gathering the posters and info on the USB - I'm going to be putting the images in a seperate folder - so I can optimize them and make them all the same size.
The place that the Portable PVD thinks the images are is going to be different than the one on my HD.
As well - the preferences are different.
So how do i go about merging one to the other with out loosing the data from my prefered set up and preference db?
Second part of this question:
I have two databases - all images optimized and in there seperate folders per database.
Lets call them Database 01 and Database 02.
I want to merge both and keep all that both have - all images - all tags - all custome fields, but i want all the images now to be located in one folder. with out loosing any of the data / data fields and or images
- How would I merge these two PVD dbs?
Is there anything to watch out for when merging them? settings etc etc?
Do I over write one pvdconfig.ini file with the other?
and again is there a help file page on merging PVD databases with various settings I can read up on?
tia for the help
