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.

You are not created memo custom fields for Darsteller, Regie, Drehbuch, Produktion, Musik, so Darsteller, Regie, Drehbuch, Produktion, Musik are not visible.
Movie data: memo custom field:
--------------- -------------------
Darsteller Darsteller:
Regie Regie;
Buch Buch:
Drehbuch Drehbuch:
Produktion Produktion:
Musik Musik:
All these custom fields in PVD enter the settings as is visible on sshot-40 picture (http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4061.msg19770.html#msg19770) and custom fields will now be visible.
I fixed a bug in txtinfo_en (0a).psf script file and the revised version is attached.

O.k. Perhaps I will try again at another time. At the moment it is too complicated for me. :-\ For the time being I will stay with PVD in its "normal" version (= with the links).
Nevertheless your fantastic support is highly appreciated, Ivek23. It is not your fault but mine that until now I was no table to get it to work. Once more many thanks for your work, your help and your patience. :)

Even for this form of the above-mentioned way, here is the solution, because it is made txtinfo_en (1a) script, which transfer information in normal fields (see sshot-42 picture). This script will be much less paste / copy job because you make only the .txt file for each movie separately (the way they do has already been mentioned earlier) or send me .doc files. These .txt files do itself (which is no problem) and then send them to you. Your choice is how and what you will do then.

Welcome and thanks.
Picture and script is attached.

Hello Ivek23!
I am very happy. :D After a long delay I tried again to create entries without links - following the instructions you gave in this thread. And this time it worked fine and so easily.
Maybe that it is of interest for other users too, so I will describe how I do it now:
A) For adding new entries (movies) without links for names (Actors, Director, Producer etc.) the method is very simple:
- I downloaded the skin pvd_classic_movie (ex) skin, as offered by you in your above posting #23 (25 August 2016) (= http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4061.msg19774.html#msg19774) and copied it in the folder mentioned there. (In my case the folder is part of the portable version of PVD).
- I created the memo custom fields as explained and shown by you in your postings #25 and #20 (especially picture sshot-40).
- In essence, that's all. When chosing now your skin, I can create data/names without links. :)
It is only of importance to take care that the names of the memo custom items are the same as in the xml file of the skin. (In my case, I decided to use the following [german] names: Darsteller: / Drehbuch: / Musik: / Produzent: / Regie: )
Moreover I modified - also in the xml-file of your pvd_classic_movie (ex) skin - some minor details as font, font size, background colours etc. (adjusting it more or less in the way I had done it in the old skin).
[A few quite unimportant details I was not able to modify until now. Perhaps about them I will ask you at another time in case that you will still be ready to offer your friendly support.]
B) Concerning already existing entries in the database (= entries where the names have links):
I think in order to remove these links you created the script "txtinfo_en (0a).psf" (as offered and described in your above postings). As I have no experience in using scripts I did not know how exactly to handle it. But I made the removing of the links manually which may be more work but it is funny work as you see immediately its success. ;)
- It is important to open an entry (movie) with the old skin (the one which creates the undesired links). When starting the editing you will see there the new custom fields. This was something that first worried me, but now I found out what to do with it: I simply transfer the entries (names) from the field where they have been until now to the corresponding new custom fields at the bottom (with a simple copy and paste) (see the attached image).
- After saving this modification and then changing to the new skin, all entries (names) are at the right place (as it were with the old skin) but now without the links. Perfect!
Ivek23, once more many thanks for all your fantastic work and support. :)

Thank you.
