Multiple Cast members are now imported but the Role and Credited as are still left out.

The 'Edited' tags are causing me some problems with filters. I have now turned them off, but I would like to delete all 'Edited' tags on all my titles.

Is there an easy way to do this?

First flag all the relevant profiles. Then Collection Set Tags and Unset all the tags you want to delete. Then Edit Tags and delete them. Tags cannot be deleted while in use.

I think I have remembered this correctly. I'm sure you will figure out any adjustments needed.

You gave me enough info for me to get it done!

Thanks a lot!

Version 1.29 Available  (Edited)

- Recoded the "Save Validated Changes" process to run faster
- Added new menu: Collection\Flags\Flag between...

The new menu item will flag all profiles (boxset recursion) between a flagged profile above and a flagged (and selected) profile below, hence "between".

The process is (1) Flag the top profile, (2) Flag/Select the bottom profile, (3) Select "Collection\Flags\Flag between... "

As usual, uninstall the old version first, but hang on to it, in case I introduced new bugs, you can go back to the old one.

BTW, I do all my testing on 3.6 Beta now, but the plugin is still using the 3.5 API, and should basically run the same on that.

so, after encouraging ( ) in another thread I tried a XML-Import.
PS Windows 7 Home 32bit german, DVD Profiler 3.6.0 Build 1367, Bulk Edit 1.29

Thanks for the feedback Mithi. I will try to fix all that when I do the upgrade for 3.6.

I don't remember whether I even attempted to handle the "comma vs dot" issue. I think there is some new stuff in the plugin toolkit for recognizing the user locality. Otherwise I guess I would need the user to tell me which format to use.

Edit: I found the Events notes bug. Seems like it has been there since day 1. Nobody has mentioned it, but I guess if anybody did an import where there were Notes, then the Events notes got filled in incorrectly. Maybe I need to make a "events notes cleaner" function in case somebody wants to delete them in the future.

I was looking at your XML example:

<PurchasePrice DenominationType="EUR" DenominationDesc="Europe (Euro)" FormattedValue="€40,17">40.17</PurchasePrice>

I notice that the formatted value and innertext use different formats. Is this the way XML is exported in German DVDP? Seems inconsistent. My code creates the currency symbol from the denomination type, but then uses the innertext for the value. Shouldn't that work? In this case I see why it doesn't. The error seems to be actually in the XML, not the import, IMHO. I should probably use the formatted text instead, then it will probably come out correctly for the locality.

(I also see now that I only try to handle a few of the major currencies.)

(1) Information from imported Notes was inadvertently added to Events Notes: Fixed.

confirmed, the ghost-notes are gone.

(2) Verifed that currency values are converted correctly.

Not for me unfortunately.
Solution for the time being: I just switched Windows to 'english (US)' prior to the import and everything went fine.

Yes, the XML seems a bit odd at this point, but I don't know enough about 'well formed XML' to really have an opinion on this matter.

Version 1.31 Available

This is an emergency update that attempts to eliminate a conflict between BulkEdit and other plugins.

Just so users will know, it is virtually impossible for plugins to actually interact directly by accident. What hapened was kind of a communications issue, where one plugin that was bending the rules (mine  ) got another plugin confused (Mark's).

Anyway, it should be all good now, and we developers learned a bit to keep us more wary in the future.

Many thanks, mediadogg!
