If DVD Profiler would accept the import of tab-delimited txt files generated by any barcode scanner such as the free iPhone App RedLaser, we could already import batches of scanned UPCs into DVD Profiler...

Thanks, Tom

Well, we are already halfway there, just convert the tabs into line-breaks (every editor worth its bits should handle this) and off you go.
Add DVD -> Add by UPC -> Add multiple -> Load UPC file

cya, Mithi

PS "^t" and "^p" are somewhat common placeholders for tabulator and line-break

Thanks a lot Mithi!
It is worth mentioning the iPhone RedLaser App again - as a beter alternative than Zbar Code Reader - as it attaches a text file with UPCs/EANs delimited by carrier returns to the email sent to you. This should be straight importable into DVD Profiler. I will check this out...

...I did check it out and the standard txt file raw-barcodes.txt that RedLaser attaches to emails inports flawlessly. Nice! Now we just need an iPhone apps to sync with the desktop application - maybe through the online collection - which already works with my movies rack...

Best,

Tom
