Personal Video Database

To me it seems inconsistent, I want to export my data, I have modified it, add, deleted or changed records and I have modified the templates, therefore I want it to use the new template.

It's no real hassle having to delete the empty.html first but it is inconsistent.

Maybe Nostra can give us a choice.   If I knew how to modify (copyfile="source<->target") or whatever to effect an overwrite, I could do it myself.

Ah but ..... next problem.
Should this be a new post or a bug post?  

I am learning, I am using the HTML Frames (English) that came with PVD.  I have modified this and have found /plugins/templates/frames movieframe.ptm and empty.html and modified them to suit my purposes.

However empty.html does not display correctly.   It works OK the first time but subsequent modifications are NOT reflected.   If I delete the empty.html from the destination directory it works OK again.

So it would appear that if there is an existing empty.html in the destination directory then it DOES NOT get overwritten.

Any ideas ....

Hello Everyone,

Export - Pick and Choose List.
======================

What would really be helpful for non-experts like me would be Pick and Choose options for exports, similar to the Pick and Choose options for CSV and Excel imports.

Hello Everyone,

I have just found your WONDERFUL piece of software, THANK YOU so much for developing it.
I really like the import and export facilities and the custom fields, really useful to move
stuff from my existing MS Access database.
I am not a progammer but am reasonably computer friendly.
I have looked through the forum but could not find any on the topics below.

I am running 'Windows 7' on an 'ASUS Eee BOX' and using 'PVD ver 0.9.9.21.'.


Bugs or oversights.
===================

  LANGUAGE / AUDIO STREAM 1.
  ==========================
    In EDIT mode on a film, there is a 'Languages' field.
    In non edit/view mode this appears as 'Audio Stream 1'.
    If you export the data it appears nicely as 'Languages' again.
    Should it not be Languages al the way through?

  MENU - MOVIES - CLEAR.
  ======================
    Having put in or selected the wrong data sometimes I use the CLEAR facility but is does not clear
    the ORIGINAL TITLE or the DATE field and on a subsequent search it picks up the same data.  I have
    to go into EDIT mode and remove the original title and date.   Should this not CLEAR like all
    the other fields.

  SKINS.
  ======
     The 'PVD Kinopoisk Theme' and 'PVD IMDB + Kinopoisk Theme' and 'PVD Classic Tabs Remix', and
     quite a few of the others has tab heading in Russian, this is OK if your are Russian.


Wants
=====
   MEDIA TYPE.
   ===========
     Could the default number for media type be '1' when something is entered into the type field, just
     saves a couple of keystrokes.

   STATISTICS.
   ===========
     Can we have the statistics so it show the highest numbers first, or even a choice?



Despite all that it's a GREAT piece of software.   I have given you a link on my web-site.
