I can't believe it's not in the database!

If you're anything like me you probably have several profiles in your collection that are not (yet) in the online database. For me it is usually old multi-title profiles that I have added child profiles to, but never got around to check properly and contribute. Or it can be profiles that I created from another profile. Or regular profiles that I created from scratch but never got around to contribute.

Initially I thought I could distinguish them from other profiles by looking at the ProfileTimestamp, but that turned out not to be reliable. So I chose a method that I know is pretty safe - checking if there are contribution notes for the profile in question.

The drawback, of course, is that it entails a lot of downloading. So it takes a bit of time. But after it is done you can save the result as a flag file, and then just load that in Profiler and start working. And, hopefully, contributing.



Download NotInDb version 1.0.0

PS The program does not check profiles with a manual ID, since they are obviously not in the database.

Somehow I though it would be simpler using API calls, via HTTPJolie, to determine without downloading the profile.
Thanks for your support.

Doh! I didn't think of that! 
I like to make sure that my tools - when possible - can be used without HTTPJolie, at the expense of some functionality.
But of course this one should have used HTTPJolie if available. I guess an update is called for.

Should be blitz fast. Just make a call to access the profile and if it comes back null, done! (I think: not sure about new entries not yet approved).
