'Not enough storage is available to complete this operation' error/bug after exporting using HTML Frames English template.
After the export was (as it looked like) succesfully completed, pvd was idle for a little while.
Then the crash occurs

See: bugreport.txt

-using pvd v0.9.9.21-

This is odd:

Today I tried both the stable and the beta and now for both the HTML Frames export did work.
Don't know why this error occurred a few days ago, but it doesn't seem to be a bug now anymore.

Sorry and thanx for your time.

Hi Nostra,

I stumbled upon this issue using PVD v0.9.9.21 while running Win8Pro.

Here's how:

-My database was created using Win7Pro & PVD v0.9.9.21,
-OS upgraded to Win8Pro,
-Installed PVD v0.9.9.21,
-Extracted Svenne's latest "HTML Frames + HTML List (English).zip" to C:\Program Files (x86)\Personal Video Database\Plugins\Templates\,
-Reopened my database,
-Exported to C:/Users/Arjon/My Personal Video Databases/Exp/<exportname>,
-The underlying directory is named "%fname%_files" instead of the proper exportname...

I can try if it does work using PVD v1.0.2.3 Beta.
Will let you know.

Hi Svenne,

I installed Win8Pro and PVD and extracted the latest "HTML Frames + HTML List (English).zip" to C:\Program Files (x86)\Personal Video Database\Plugins\Templates\
When running the export it turns out in this browser message:
"Firefox can't find the file at /C:/Users/Arjon/My Personal Video Databases/Exp/_files/empty.html."

The export location is:  C:\Users\Arjon\My Personal Video Databases\Exp\
In that directory the file "PVDExport.html" has been created plus the directory "%fname%_files".

I guess there's the problem but I can't figure out for now why that directory is called "%fname%_files"...

Currently I'm having a 2-member team working on a catalog program for game collectors (working title: PriViGaDa).
There will be a 'regular game info' panel where you can choose to will retrieve it's info from mobygames.com or add the info manually.
But there will also be a 'collectors info' panel where you can add (manually) specific info about a game you own.
And yes, it will be freeware.

My question is:
What info should be stored in this 'collectors info' panel.
For now I came up with these:

-Edition (e.g. White Label edition)
-Country
-Package (boxed, miniboxed, dvd-case, jewel-case, etc.)
-Sealed (yes/No)
-Media (e.g. CD-Rom [1x], 3.5" Disks [4x], etc.)
-Freebees
-Barcode

But there might be more info you would like to store.

* So, do you think it's a good idea creating such program?
* Do you have any ideas for more fields for the 'collectors info' panel other then mentioned above?

Thanx for the input already :-)

It is probably asked before but I can't find it anywhere:

Is it somehow possible to use (something like) line breaks in fields like Description and/or Comments?

There are at least two... on my computer it's
dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss

This is odd, I'm 'your neighbour' (if you are german, which is so by looking at the name "Export template: HTML List (English + German)", from the netherlands.
My region is set to dutch/netherlands, so why should I have a different date format in PVD?
Or is the date format changeable within PVD?
(When installed I set the language in PVD to English.)

What format does your PVD uses?

So, if I would support the third one, too, would the template work all over the world then?
Well, we'll find out in the next "Export template: HTML List (English + German)" episode, stay tuned folks :-)

mmhh, my region setting is:
Short date: d-M-yyyy (and long date: dddd d MMMM yyyy).

Still PVD seems to use: m/d/yyyy. Can't seem to find a setting within PVD to change it (maybe there isn't any?)

Ok, got it! :)
The date's format seems to be dependent on system settings.  ::)  The template could only handle the format...
dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss
...but not...
m/d/yyyy h:mm:ss [AM/PM]
That's quick!
So the template now can handle 'multi date formats'?

Just saw that my templates also will not process the timestamp down to the second, but to the minute. But I think that should be sufficient.
Down to the minute will be enough indeed.

So, here are the new versions. Hope it works fine now.
Works like charm, THANX!

If you want to you might send me a PM with the exported list (for smaller size leave out the images folder) and I will try to identify the error.
Uploaded the result of the template that doesn't work with showing the 25 newest here.

By the way, "Show newest 25 entries" would have no effect if "Date Added" (including the time stamp down to the second!) is the same for all exported database entries.
For most of the records the timestamp is the same except for the 'seconds' part of the timestamp.

Quote
I changed the export templates now. With the new versions, even in this case, only 25 entries should be displayed. Try it. Can the list be trimmed down to 25 entries, now?
Yes, the new version does trim down indeed to 25 records being shown.

I use the "HTML Frames" template in Firefox v10.0.2.
There's no difference in showing 'all' or 'the 25 newest', all records keep being shown.

Removed the log in the error console. When switching tabs in FF the console says:

Error: Components.classes['@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1'] is undefined
Source File: chrome://imdb_preview/content/imdb_preview.js
Line: 1143

Edit:
* in IE9 the same problem occurs: no difference in showing 'all' or 'the 25 newest'.
* Tried running Firefox in safemode to disable all addons: problem still persists.

Svenne, somehow the 'show newest 25 entries' option doesn't seem to work...
(using "HTML Frames + HTML List (English)" from the first post)

Yes, that workaround does work.
Except for the moviemeter rating: it did work properly a few months ago but now it keeps being skipped while importing (using the moviemeter url)....

Special characters could be an issue. I tried several special characters including chinese symbols... only space+"(" as well as "," (both without quotes) would give unexpected results, shortening or splitting up language entries. I will correct that soon. Nevertheless, the three filter buttons always did their job.
Yes, I guess it must have been a comma or something like "(".
I removed several things so I can't tell you what exactly caused this...

I could imagine some kind of "interference" if you choose the same export filename a second time or over and over again. Perhaps it might be only if you don't delete the old files first. But it's just a guess.

I always delete the old export before making a new one, just in case.  ;)

The export would/should run fine and do a proper job. But your browser might have parts of the former file versions in its cache, causing some weird behaviour. Empty the browser's cache, that might help.
If it's not the browser's cache and if you can reproduce the error, tell me the details and I will eliminate the bug.
I haven't encountered that error anymore, so it must have been something in the 'special characters' corner.


Question: could you please add a fourth filter-button, one for for 'Actors'?

I made an export with 145 entries and the 3 filter buttons (genre, category and language) were working after pimping.
After adding more entries I made a new export (having 247 entries) but the 3 filter buttons aren't reacting anymore after pimping.

I used the original template files.
The file pimpHTMLframesExport runs with no errors.

What's wrong?

EDIT:
Removed some entries in the Languages list and somehow the 3 filter buttons work again.
It must have been one or more items in the Language list.
Still don't know which one was the 'bad entry'...
Are there any specific characters not allowed for such list(s)?

I thought it was possible to have >1 language and getting links for all of them...
but within different list entries
Darn, I must have made a mistake causing the 2 same entries be not the same list.

something like ending up with 2 records having the same language but record 1 and 2 having this difference:
("<li>English</li>
and
("<li>english</li>

Sigh, sorry.

*slaps forehead*


Thanx for answering again Svenne,
