Export template: HTML List (English + German)
svenne:
I can't reproduce that behaviour, works fine here on Firefox 3.6.3... :o
PVD never overwrites existing files (except the main html files and the poster images). Did you export to a directory where the subfolder "htmlprintfiles" already existed? Old versions of the stylesheets would be a problem. Try to delete "htmlprintfiles" and then do a fresh export with "HTML Print Layout". Please let me know if it works afterwards.
Ok, I will add sequential numbers soon.
I added ID, cause you can use the ID to index your DVDs and stick the number onto the cover of every DVD. Makes it easier to find the right one...

Yes, that was the problem. But I still think you should keep genre—the list is a little lean with just title and year. ;)

Yes, I'm sure that exactly why some want to be able to print a list. For me, there's no need for either. Since I don't use ID, I can Reindex the movies selected for the report to get a numbered list. 8)
Posters don't span pages well. I'm sure users can figure that out on there own. But, if it's possible, you may want to consider forcing "one page per record" if "show poster" is selected.

Ok, no sequential numbers then. Would have been a little bit more difficult to achieve than just showing/hiding things. But if someone really wants this, I could add the feature to reindex within the exported file (so you won't loose your original IDs in PVD). By the way, if you sort your database alphabetically prior to export, there might be no real need for a table of contents with numbers. But if you'd like to have it, just tell me.
Yes, some poster images will span over two pages in Firefox as long as you don't choose "one page per record", but Internet Explorer for example handles this in a different way and avoids to split the images. So I don't want to force the "one page per record" setting, but instead let the user decide what to do. A CSS rule could be added to tell the browser never to split the DIV-tag containing the poster ("page-break-inside:avoid;"), but Firefox still ignores this. Might be implemented in near future though.
I added 'show/hide genre' now...

Fair enough. No point in catering to those who won't speak for themselves. ;D

The easier fix is to use the IE Tab Plus add-on for Firefox. That allows switching to the IE rendering engine and (while it never occurred to me before) that includes printing.

Thanks!
A minor suggestion: If the assigned filename (without the extension) was used as the report title, the user would have the ability to name the report whatever they like.

Thanks for the info on IE Tab Plus.

I tried a different approach now to provide full control over the title apart from the filename...
Something different: Within the template, in %OPTIONS%-area: is it possible to get the filename that was chosen by the user in the filter dialog, with and without extension? Something like %filename%?
Then I'd like to change the subdirectories name from "htmlprintfiles" to "%filename%_files" (and I would need to omit the filenames extension here) to take advantage of this Windows feature:
