[SOLVED] How to overwrite date added when importing from Csv
deazo:
Hi Rick, thanks for your patience.
Yes I knew the ID's did not match, but this is because the image files are saved with the INTERNAL ID and not the ID's.
So the image files are like: terminator_Internal ID.jpg
And ImgID actually works with these for my corrupted database.
Unfortunately, and I have checked it, the new database does not assign the same Internal ID's to the movies. And I have no way to import the Internal ID's into the new database.
Anyway I see what you want me to do, and I have done everything right up to the point where I have asked you how to rename my files after you suggested it.
The ID's are exactly the same from my new and my old database.
So the file I had posted for you to look at are showing the right posters files generated from the old database.
Basically my question can be summarized as this:
How can I change the name of thousands of files like these:
movie titles_Internal ID.jpg
to
ID.jpg
when possessing a list of ID's linked to the movies titles?
The two lists I had posted are the list I would like to use to link up all.
As you can see, it's not a matter of removing the "movie titles_" part of the image files, as the number displayed is not the ID.
Thanks again

Just wanted to report that I have now successfully transferred all 5800 movie entries from my previous corrupted database file to a new clean one.
I imported all posters (VERY important step so that I don't loose hours/days of image hunting) using ImgID
Many many thanks (for their patience and expertise) to all who helped me in this process: Buah, Nostra and Rick
I am a happy man. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Great news deazo! Reading your post, I can recall how happy I was when I finished importing my ~5500 movie entries several months ago, so I know how you feel this very day.
P.S. Curiously, today I have 5815 movies :D

Yes a bit freaky actually, I am at 5809...
How do you select them? I am trying to stick with what I like but I haven't seen all obviously, so I use a lot of reviews, critics, magazines, etc... The aim is to have a high quality collection. I think I am far from it, considering I still have "dear john" in it...

1. Well, mostly relying on IMDb's rating and reviews there. I developed a sense of how to distinguish an IMDb rating for, let's say The Dark Knight's 8,9 (btw, one of the most overrated movies that I've ever seen, IMHO) from Wild Strawberries' rating that is 8,3. Worlds of film as an entertainment and as an art, don't interfere in my coordinate system, and I enjoy them both.
2. Upon the recommendations of people whose movie taste I believe in, and they believe in mine: "Hey, I saw a movie you'll like it a lot but, you know, it's not my pace (Revolutionary Road, for instance)", or "I saw this movie, I freaked out, and you will too, for sure (The Night of the Hunter)"
P.S. The TV series "Dear John" was one of my favorites, btw :P
