[IMPORTANT] I want to add film screenshots to film profile.

Post by Madjack »

It's possible to add feature "Film Screens"? This is very important to me. I never seen this feature in programs like this.
Adding screenshots like cover. Drag & Drop to container.

Thank u! :D

We don't have a dedicated area for more images, but you can link any type of file to the Pedias. Drag and drop your film screen images over the info view (the pane at the bottom with the information for the selected movie) and it will link those files. You will be able to view a specific image by clicking the link now present in the info view or using the links button on the toolbar and browsing all the images with the arrows to navigate the images. The file will not actually be moved with drag and drop so you have to keep them, if you would like the Pedias to keep the file for you, use the move button in the links tab in the edit screen (double click a movie to edit).

The reason to view screens below comments. I think is possible to import images into database and show them bellow comments section in view of film.
When i pressed download button nothing is happend. May be something wrong...

It will not show the images inline after the comments. They should appear as links in a box to the right. If you woud like to view the images inline with the rest of the information you can modify the info view template to do so. On that post there is also a link to a version of a template that does this for Bookpedia, after installing it you can copy the HTML image part of the code into the DVDpedia version of the Collection template. You can find more information about creating custom info views in the included help file.

When you drag an image to the links tab the URL part of the image will look like this: "http://images.apple.com/home/images/her ... 090106.png". If you then highlight that link the download button should appear, after pressing the button it should disappear after a second and the URL will now look like this: "[Data Folder]/Downloads/My Movie-18205216.png". This means the file is now inside your DVDpedia data folder and can be accessed even if you do not have internet.

What happens after you press the download button? If the button does not disappear please send me the URL of the link that is selected and your trying to download. Also check your console log for any errors from DVDpedia. You can view the console log with the program of the same name in your utilities folder.

Madjack, I tried this with Version 4.4.2. and the Beta and it worked as Conor described it. I used your example URL. After pushing the Download button the link changed from "http://..." to "[Datafolder]/Downloads/...". No messages in the console log meanwhile. Which is good.
Close the window with the link by pressing "OK", otherwise you have to confirm your changes.
Press Apple-L and you should see your image in the main window.
