The txtinfo_en (0a).psf file can not be converted from Wordpad in a txt file, because then they will no longer work. The same applies to all files .psf extension.
--- Quote ---And where is the place in the PVD folder where I have to put the psf file?
--- End quote ---
Files with .psf extension copy in C:\Program Files\Personal Video Database\Scripts. The same also applies to the txtinfo_en (0a).psf , txtinfo_en (0b).psf and txtinfo_en (0c).psf file

To movie.txt files, which I have added myself and all those movie.txt files, which you create yourself, so you make a special folder, which will then all these movie txt file saved for later because you will then needing to transfer information in your PVD Movie Database.

Now that you have all this, PVD, run the program and create custom fields as you see in the attached sshot-40 picture. Then edit your txtinfo_en (0a).psf file as a whole the attached sshot-41 picture. Now, in the Import tab locate the txtinfo_en (0a).psf file and import movie information for a specific movie title, open a window in which to find previously mentioned folder where you saved txt file for a particular movie and you click on it and will take place the transfer of information in your PVD Movie Database for a particular movie (see images at this link: http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4061.msg19764.html#msg19764 ). Repeat the last part of every movie and so you will have almost all the information in your PVD Movie Database, whatever you find there is a need to manually enter the PVD Movie Database or simply movie.txt file these data for a particular movie does not contain.
Peter:
Your description and your pictures are very useful, but I think that nevertheless the whole procedure is too complicated for me. :-\
In detail:

O.k. That was a misunderstanding from my side. You meant to create a new txt file directly in Wordpad.

O.k. Done.

O.k. Done too.

O.K. (Very useful your picture. :) )

I tried to do this also and I have now all the names etc. indeed without links (as I wanted it). But this information is not in the appropriate fields of PVD but all in the field "Comments" ("Kommentare") (see attached picture AVB). So I would have in a next step to transfer the data (by copy and paste) to the appropriate fields (above).
Moreover I conclude from your explanations that I would have to make alle the procedure (to create a txt.file etc.) for every movie separately, as you write:

That's a lot of work (compared to copy and paste directly from my original Word doc to the original fields in PVD). :-\
So I think that at least for the time being I will remain to use PVD in its "normal" way and I will try to "live" with all the hyperlinks in the names. Perhaps some other time in the future I will try again to work with your script.
Anyway I appreciate very much your helpfulness and your good explanations. Thanks once more for all the time, work and patience you have invested in order to create the script and to support me in this difficult matter, Ivek23. :)
Maybe in the next time I will come back with some other - smaller ;) - questions concerning PVD.

No problem, I'll be happy to help even if my health will be well served.

No problem, the script can be also arrange to the information transfer even in normal fields as you now is also hinted.
BTW:
The information is therefore in the comment field that you can see what all the information contains a certain movie.

I found a simple solution.
I have adapted the pvd_classic_movie (ex) skin, which you copy into this folder :
C:\Program Files\Personal Video Database\Skins\Movies
All custom fields have the same places as the normal fields in PVD for Darsteller, Regie, Drehbuch, Produktion, Musik (for Actors, Director, Writer, Producer, Composer).
In PVD settings to find skin settings and your skin is set in the settings.
Confirm the settings and the skin that you can immediately put to use also.
The skin is attached.
Peter:
That sounds good. 8)
I tried the new skin but I have a problem with the following:

When I add a new movie, the fields look like on the attached picture ("New skin"): The fields for Darsteller (Actors), for Regie (Director) etc. are not visible although I can see the appropriate entries in the xml-file you created.
