Only question I have right now: I can set a CollectionNumber in BulkEdit, but how (if at all) can I activate the "None" marker for profiles? Wow, thanks to Mithi and dj for the nice words. The fix for the flagging of children is done - that was easy - just waiting to collect any other immediate changes needed before releasing. Sorry for the wait, but it does help me to be able to consolidate when possible. As far as the "none" marker, unfortunately that and several other things cannot be done by plugins. We usually get only one shot every year or so to request changes, not all of which we get, and not all of which we are smart enough to ask for at the time. But that one is already on the list. Sorry. (P.S. Any plugin developer out there that thinks I'm wrong and has figured it out - please speak up!!!) | | | Thanks for your support.

I tried the flag children function but the result wasn't what I was excpecting.
Funny, I walk exactly into the same trap. Flagging Children of flagged profiles seems to be more logical to mee too.

I tried Flag Between a couple of times but I can not wrap my head around this one.
I stumbled on the solution by accident when I had 2 profiles flagged, and suddenly it seemed logical  Still no joy  Quote:

With Bulk Edit you are a saviour, now, with SideCar, you are my hero!
Well, can't speak for SideCar (not tried yet) but BE definitely saved me from an hour of stupid clicking through Profiler-windows just now. I recently bought all 7 seasons Deep Space Nine and Voyager and had to wrestle in all the child-profiles and harmonize the Titles and SortTitles and such. So from me too, the warmest thanks to Mediadogg for this useful plug-in.
Only question I have right now: I can set a CollectionNumber in BulkEdit, but how (if at all) can I activate the "None" marker for profiles? rofl, definitely! |

I have always appreciated your prompt and detailed feedback. But this time around, I am puzzled. After working hard to fix and tweak this thing specifically for you, I am always eager to get your feedback.
But "no joy" and "rofl, definitely" embedded between quotes gives me no clue as to what your feedback is. Are you saying that the new Flag Children doesn't work? Of course I tested before publishing, and I just tried it on my system, and it worked. Maybe I uploaded the wrong code or something - I'll check that. Specifically, what happened?
Not sure about the other comment. What is the message in the bolded phrases? Maybe you didn't read my response saying that plugins can't do what you want with the "none" flag.
Edit: Ok, I just downloaded V2.21 from my website, uninstalled the prior version and installed.
(1) Flagged a couple of boxsets and then Collection\Flagged\Flag Child Profiles, in fact resulted in the flagging of the children, as expected.
(2) Then I cleared all flags, flagged one profile near the top of my Blu-Ray collection, then flagged another one below it in the list, spanning a box set. Then Collection\Flags\Flag Between, put flags on all the profiles in between the orginal two, including the children of the spanned boxset.
I'm sorry if you are not seeing these results, or if these results are not what you were expecting. | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | Forgive, my short comments. Looking at my response now... well I can see how it can be interpreted wrong. I was just trying to be funny and failed.
The new Flagged / Flag children works beautifully. Again, thanks!!!
I thought the bolded part reflected how we used to work in DVDP. Clicking, clicking ...
The underlined emfased gratitude towards you.
I will be more carefull about these comments in the future. Again, I apologize!
[Edit]
With "no joy" I ment, I still dont get how to use Flag between.
[Edit2]
I'll try (2), tonite! | | | | Last edited: by xyrano |

| | Posted: | | | | Ok, thanks. Whew!  Only joy I get is when stuff works ... so I was worried, and it was before coffee, so I was probably a bit loopy anyway ... By the way, I have no particular bias towards how "Flag Between" should work. It just needs to be something I can code to. As a test, think about what you would do manually. How do you determine the user's intent? So, far, the most unabiguos way I have come up with is to have two and only two flags present. They are the markers. Then I just flag everything in betweeen them. What my code actually does, is to start at the bottom of the list until a flag is hit. That is "start". Then I start crawling upwards, flagging all the way, unil another flag is hit - that's "stop". Special handling in case the start or ending flags is a box set, to make sure all the children are flagged. | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | Version 2.22 Available
- Fixed icon size bug that prevented BE installation on some versions of Windows/XP
- Added a substring checkbox to the Find/Replace tool of MultiCopy. This defaults to substring, as was the case before Regex was added. If an exact match for Find/Replace is desired, uncheck the box. Note that the multi-line text boxes for Overview and Notes always use substring search.
- Reworked the Flag Between function
Regarding Flag Between:
It seems that implementing this function reliably is more tricky than I had thought. There can be unexpected results (extra flags) when box sets are involved. If you want to use this function, and you need to flag within or among box sets, try it first. If you get erroneous results that cannot be easily tweaked (often, there may only 1 or a few extra flags), then what will always work is flagging within an un-nested view, or at the top level of a nested view. | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | I found an Install / Uninstall conflict with Database Query plugin, tested with multiple versions of both:
Installing BulkEdit first, then DBQ, then uninstalling BulkEdit, DBQ continues to run properly.
However, if you install DBQ first, then BulkEdit, then delete BulkEdit, the following error occurs when running DBQ:
------------------------
Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Invelos'.DVDProfilerPlugin.IDVDProfilerAPI'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{8AFA0FCD-91B4-47F5-8663-CF72CA05B360}' failed due to the following error: Error loding type library/DLL. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY)).
------------------------
There is no error for BulkEdit in any install order. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

| | Posted: | | | | Wow, a very rare case of unintended plugin interaction. This will be of interest to Mark and Ken as well, I should think. I'll make a post in the Developer's Forum pointing to your post.
Thanks for taking the time to do some diagnostics and post results. Obviously, I'll be trying to figure it out and if I need to make changes on my end, I will.
Edit: I made a post in the Developer Forum. I think I will have to leave it there for the moment since BE is not actually giving the error. Until then please make sure that no other plugins are installed in the \plugins\bulkedit folder. | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for notice. I had to put the message somewhere, so it was either this or Mark's topic; you simply lost the coin flip  And no, there are no other plugins in BE's folder. At the time of testing, each was a fresh install with no other plugins. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

| | Posted: | | | | Hi,
I'm looking for a possibility to import my DVD/Blu-ray collection into DVD Profiler.
So I was happy when I read about BulkEdit. Somewhere in this thread there is a post which explains how to import UPCs stored in a csv file. Unfortunatedly I cannot find the csv import in the BulkEdit plugin.
What am I doing wrong? |

What am I doing wrong? Sorry I took that out becuase I never got around to updating for 3.6/3.7. But as Mithi points out, you don't need it if all you have is UPCs. If you have personal information, then tell us more, as Mithi said, and somebody will give you good advice on how to move forward. One way is to create XML, which can be inported with BE. | | | Thanks for your support.
