I understand your frustration that what you want is not automatically provided for you. However one of the great things with all the pedia's is their ability to be customised by you the owner. This customisation not only includes the 'User Interface' BUT also its export customisation ability.
In your case you want to export a text based list of the cast by movie. You do not clarify what other information you wish besides Movie Title and Movie cast. However all the information for customising your text file is in the links I gave you in the previous post.
To edit the code contents of the desired Text file:
Export > Text > (Tab, CSV or Text) Template > Small List > Edit This will open up the Text file showing the basic code to achieve the desired result. It is this code that you can edit and save for future use. Note: when you have edited the desired code please append the name of the file with
My So in this instance if you altered the
SmallList file you could save it as
MyCastList. This way the program recognises it as a custom template and not a default template. It also then stores that new Template into the external Templates folder which by default is located in
~/Library/Application Support/DVDpedia/Templates
When you click on the Edit button it will open up the macOS TextEdit program and now you can customise your template. You are able to use most of the Text Editing functions;
Bold,
Underline,
Italics, T
ext Colour etc.
The following is the code for just the Title & Cast.
Code: Select all
Cast By Movie
<!--BeginRepeat-->
[key:title]
[key:starring]
<!--EndRepeat-->
Giving you the following result:
Cast By Movie
22 Bullets
Jean Reno, Marina Foïs, Kad Merad, Gabriella Wright, Richard Berry
If you wanted additional information, like Director, you would add in [key:director]
Code: Select all
Cast By Movie
<!--BeginRepeat-->
[key:title]
[key:director]
[key:starring]
<!--EndRepeat-->
If you wish to label your field/s you would add in [translate:director]: [key:director]
Code: Select all
Cast By Movie
<!--BeginRepeat-->
[key:title]
[translate:director]: [key:director]
[key:starring]
<!--EndRepeat-->
Giving you the following result:
Cast By Movie
22 Bullets
Director: Richard Berry
Jean Reno, Marina Foïs, Kad Merad, Gabriella Wright, Richard Berry
Notice I have added a Title to the text file 'Cast by Movie'. There is lots you can do, it just depends upon how much information you want in your text file and its style and appearance.
I hope this is not too confusing for you. Once you get the hang of it, most people find it enjoyable to play around with its possibilities.
