| | Posted: | | | | So I was playing around with this over the weekend. Here are a couple of screenshots (apologizes in advance if they're too big) The first one shows the full, unfiltered collection sorted by sort title. Information was taken from the CSV export plugin. Image 1The second screenshot shows a bar graph with a few filters applied (Sci-fi Movies produced after 1974 in keep case) Image 2Finally, the last one shows me zoomed into a specific title, with some details visible.

OK,
Check this out. Looks interesting. How much time did it take to set something like that up? --------------- |

| | Posted: | | | | Once I got the hang of using the different tools, not too long.
I used the CSV export plugin to export the required fields, and built the collection using the Excel Pivot Add-in. There's sample code for creating Silverlight viewer application. The longest part was uploading the image files to my web host. The collection tool breaks each image up so that the larger images (when zoomed in) are actually a composite of six smaller images. If I had been smart, I would have tar'd the files on my drive, and then extracted them once the whole thing had been uploaded. |

| | Posted: | | | | That's a pretty neat little interface. |

Maybe there's a way to directly transform the DVD Profiler XML to CXML. Because I have no Excel, and so the way via Pivot Add-In is closed to me. Quote:

Is the collection tool part of Silverlight or part of the Excel Add-in? cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| | Posted: | | | | Niiiice!!  Could be a cool plugin. Sorry I didn't see this post in time to award greenies. Edit: This is the kind of interface I have been looking for to organize media under LoadDVD. My prototype is slow and ugly. But my version of MS Tools doesn't support the sample. What version are you using? | | | Thanks for your support.

I uploaded a sample cxml for you at http://www.leiterfluid.com/pivot/SampleData/SampleDataSet.cxml Had a quick look at it, most stuff looks simple enough like Quote:
<Facet Name="Production Year">
<Number Value="2007" />
</Facet>
but every <Item> has something like Quote:
<Item Id="0" Img="#0" Name="AVP: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem"> which are the IDs under which the images are stored. So either one has to incorporate those consecutive number the images have into the CXML or (and I would prefer that) using the <ID> from the DVD-Profiler-XML here and in the naming of the images. Yes, that seem more of a job for a plugin, given that you also have to transform the pictures. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |
