"scan folders" changes path although "add movie" was selected ...

JohnDough:
dear pvd support team,

now that the imdb problem seems to be solved (thanks!) allow me to report another problem:

I scanned a folder with new downloads.
for movies already in the database it offered me to "change file path" or "set file path".
I changed all those manually to "add movie".
still it didnt add those - but changed the filepaths of the old entries.
thankfully I made a back up before.

so if you could maybe look into that if you have some time?

it's not urgent to me, I hardly used this function before but cautiously added the movies one by one :)


once again: thanks for the great product and the great support.
I manage my collection of >18k movies with pvd and couldnt live without it.


best,
j

JohnDough:
hmm, interesting - but I think my problem is slightly different?

it does recognize all the movies separately, but it ignores the "add movie" option and instead does "change filepath" ...


thanks though!

afrocuban:
I have the same problem, ever-since the very first use.

So, what I do is that I process all "add new movie"s-in a row-recognized via "Scan..." until the first "change file path"-movie, then process "change file path"-movie via "New Movie Master", then back to the rest of "add new movie"s-in a row via "Scan..." (because I assign IDs automatically to folder names so PVD to assign identical ones to correspondent entries, I have to process scanned only if they're in a row)

Never figured out what's the problem, even if I changed the action to "Add New Movie"?

afrocuban:
I honestly believe this issue is too important not to deal with it.
