Export Cover & File-Path to csv

[bateman23]

Hi there,
i try to export my data into csv-Format (using DVDpedia). This works quiet nice, except two things:
- Is there any way to export the path to the cover-files as well?
- Is there any way to export to path to attached files?

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Since CSV does not lend itself for multiple items for a single column, you will have to create a text template for the import. This way you define what you would like the delimiter to be between links (in this example a semi-colon). This will also allow you to export links to the images and decouples the export from having to worry about the current displayed columns in your list view.

To create a template file, simple create a text file in ~/Library/Application Support/DVDpedia/Templates/yourexport.txt. Use a TextEdit or any other editor and the file would look like this:

Code: Select all

Title   Director   Image Path   Links
<!--BeginRepeat-->[key:title]   [key:director]   /Users/[UserName]/Library/Application Support/DVDpedia/Covers/[key:uid].jpg   [linksBegin][link:url];[linksEnd]
<!--EndRepeat-->

That would be the basic sample. Update [UserName] to match your user name (actually depending on what your using the export for, you might only need the [key:uid] as you can copy the entire "Covers" folder from the data folder as the images folder). Add all the other fields you would be interested in, the full list of tags is here.

This export will be available under Export -> Text (tab) -> Templates and the name you gave the file.

Works great, thanks a lot.
