| | Posted: | | | | Is there any way to Flag All Child Profiles or Flag All Parent Profiles in DVD Profiler? I'd like to save myself the time of flagging each one individually, if possible.
Thanks! |

Is there any way to Flag All Child Profiles or Flag All Parent Profiles in DVD Profiler? In DVD Profiler, unfortunately not. But there is a relatively easy way utilizing the XML-Export: - under File -> Export Profile Database make a single-file export and place on the desktop (or any other place you are comfortable with) - save this file as "child.xsl" to the same directory Now you can either follow the instruction found in my signature and download and use Saxon-HE, or if this is a one-time-job:- open the collection in an editor (e.g. WordPad)- add <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="child.xsl"?> at the second line and save it. (let the editor open, you will need it soon)- open your webbrowser and via File - Open open the collection.xml. You should now see a list of numbers.- press Ctrl&A to mark everything, right-click and choose Copy- switch to your editor, open a new document and right-click PasteScrap this, just download http://doena-soft.de/dvdprofiler/3.6.0/XsltTransform.zip and extract the 2 included files anywhere you want (no installation needed) and run it, the GUI is pretty much self-explaining. - save it as e.g. child.lst to C:\Users\$your_username\Documents\DVD Profiler\Flags - in DVD Profiler go to Collection -> Flags -> Load Set and et voila all childs are marked. The XSL also contains the code for finding Parents, just commented out with <!-- -->, but be aware that this doesn't work so well if you, like me, don't have child-profiles for all Box-Sets. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki | | | | Last edited: by Mithi |

| | Posted: | | | | I prefer using tags for that. That way I can filter the desired profiles anytime. Because the downside of Mithi's method is that a flag set is static, so it has to be updated everytime you download new box set profiles. You can use Mithi's suggestion for creating an initial flag set, though. Follow the instructions above, then add a tag for child profiles via "Tools" --> "Edit Tags..." and now set all tags at once by choosing "Collection" --> "Flagged" --> "Set Tags...". And everytime you add a new box set you just have to check the appropiate tags for the children. An alternative to the XML/XSLT stuff for creating such an initial flag set is Mark's great Database Query plugin. Install it, run it via "Tools" --> "Database Query" and click "Begin" (AFAIK you have to check "Load cast/crew data ..." the first time you run the plugin, afterwards only if you want to perform queries on cast/crew data). The first step to create a flag set is to choose the little filter icon in the top toolbar and make your choices. E.g. if you want to filter for all child profiles in your entire database, deselect "Standard profiles" and "Box set profiles" (the checkboxes have to be white), tick "And" after "Selection" and finally click "OK". Second step is to perform a query. I couldn't find a way to simply list all profiles, but a workaround is to search for a genre that isn't attached to a single profile in your collection. Create a dummy genre ("Tools" --> "Edit Custom Genres..."), then go to the Database Query window, choose "General Information", now choose "Genres" as "Field" and as parameters choose "Doesn't contain" and "<NAME-OF-DUMMY-GENRE>", hit the button "Run Query" and when the profiles are listed click the button "Save Flag Set". Looks much more complicated than it actually is, I just wanted to provide as detailed instructions as possible.  | | |

| | Posted: | | | | For users of BulkEdit, this will be in the next release as a companion to Flag Between. I'm sure both functions will eventually make it into DVDP - they are both so useful. | | | Thanks for your support.
