nostra:
The new version of the plugin should overwrite existing files using copyfile option.

Just fetched the latest updates (in PVD: "Help" -> "Check for updates") and it's fine now. I surely appreciate the fix, thanks!

New versions of my export templates... For all those who tend to collect their favourite soap operas...  ;)
- episodes will be taken into account by all three templates now. Episodes will be listed below the description field of the corresponding main entry...

Some minor changes:
- the quality field will only be shown if it is not empty (same with some other fields)
- internal links will only be active if the movie entry they point to was not excluded from export. This was not the case for link type "ID" (= mid = "Database Record ID") until now
- there are some other tiny changes/bugfixes, but i can't remember what they were actually... ::)

I modified the templates again, taking advantage of a new feature Nostra implemented...

If export templates don't generate a single file but multiple files instead (several html pages + stylesheet files + images, etc.), these files now can be stored in a folder named similar to the main file.

An example:
if you advise the "HTML Frames" template to export your database to a file named mymovies.html, now all additional files that are generated during the process will be stored in a folder named mymovies_files. Hence it will be more obvious which folder belongs to a corresponding html file, especially if you do several different exports (like different selections, your movie list altered by filters, or whatever). Windows users will also benefit from this feature ("pairs of web pages and folders"):

svenne:
- added a little bit more details for audio streams
- added "Subtitles" field (will only show up if not empty)
- added a "Print" button (to HTML Print Layout)
- did some minor tweaks

svenne:
There is a minor problem when using the template functions replace/#StringReplace to replace quotation marks (' or "): When there is a PVD-link in the exported field things get messed up. Since I excluded empty fields from export with the aid of some nested #StringReplace and #ConditionAdd commands, this became an issue here for fields that contain PVD-links. For sure it's a bug in PVD, but it's complicated to explain how and when these heavily nested commands trigger it and I'm sure it's complicated to solve... and that would be for the benefit of maybe only one or two people (already including me)...  ;)
Since removing this bug (that most likely no other one would ever stumble upon while developing templates) would surely delay release of PVD 1.0 I won't mention this never ever again... ;)
So I reconsidered my strategy and added some simple javascript to get a workaround... and it works. Fields with links are exported nicely and empty fields are not displayed. Here are the new versions of my templates...
