Personal Video Database

Hey Ivek,

I'm a little confused about which is the latest IAFD script? There are multiple message threads here, and I'm not sure which has the definitive version...

Thanks again, pra!

Thanks, pra15!

Here is the complete script, version bumped to 0.1.2.4 now.

I had to make a minor edit, ADE changed the HTML near the "Matches Found" text (the script wouldn't interptret it properly otherwise). But it seems to work now.

I want to use the iafd people script, but it's not working as expected for me.

When I am in People view and use the Import feature with iafd_people(full) selected, nothing happens. I briefly see the connection status at the bottom of the PVD window, but none of the fields for that person get updated. I also tried the same thing with the regular iafd_people, no difference. But I can call up the info page for the same person in my web browser and see all the usual bio, photo, filmography, etc.

I'm using PVD 1.0 with the latest versions of the iafd_people scripts from this thread (replies 7 and 8, I think). I checked the Overwrite options for the selected script in the Import tab, and all fields are set to overwrite.

I've also tried adding a few completely new people (chosen at random from the IAFD) and running the scripts against them, with the same results... no data imported.

What am I doing wrong?

Keep running into a minor bug in PVD 1.0 when changing between Movie and People views. Specifically, when using the Search functions.

If I am in Movies view, and enter something in the Search panel, I get a list of matching movies. If I then click on one movie, [optionally edit it], click on another, then switch to People view and back again, often the previously-selected movie is displayed again, NOT the more recently-selected one.

Something similar happens if I start off in People view, do a search, select a person, select another, then switch to Movies view and back again. PVD displays the record for the previously-selected person instead of the most-recently-selected one.

This doesn't happen ALL the time, but pretty frequently. It only happens the first time I switch views after doing a search. It doesn't happen anymore after switching views again... until the next time I do a search.

Admittedly, it's a VERY minor issue, but I figured I may as well report it anyway.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Start off in Movies view. Make sure the Search panel is visible.
2) Enter a search query where you know it will return multiple results.
3) Select one of the results in the list on the left.
4) Now select a different record.
5) Switch to People view.
6) Switch back to Movies view.

More often than not, PVD will display the record for the movie selected in step 3, rather than the one selected in step 4.

The same thing happens if you reverse Movie and People views in the steps above.

You're welcome.

I agree with you, there are some potential uses for creating aligned columns with tabs.

It seems to me that in PVD 1.0, when the "Toolbar" tab is selected, the icons on the toolbar are pretty large compared to the rest of the user-interface elements.

Would it be possible to have a "small icons" option added to the program preferences, with a set of icons about half the size of the existing ones?

I'm guessing the program code for the text-field edit control (used for editing the comment field in "modify" mode) allows the entry of horizontal tab characters, but the code to display the text in the normal view simply doesn't display non-printing characters?

It all depends on the tools and libraries Nostra used to build Personal Video Database. They can be inconsistent in their handling of these things.

Thanks for fixing this!

(To be clear, this code looks like it replaces the //Poster  section of GazonkFoo's version of the script. But it would probably work for other versions, not tested.)

Hi,

I'm having a bizarre problem with the open-file dialogs for images within PVD.

When I click on the "load image from file" button on the toolbar in the Poster, Front Cover, or Disc Cover sections of the Movies editor screen, or the portrait section of the People editor screen, the "Open" dialog is missing the button that turns the "Preview pane" on or off (this button should be near the top right corner of the dialog, between the View button and the Help button). Further, the Preview pane itself is present (and cannot be turned off, since the button is missing), but does not display anything when I click on an image file. I can get thumbnail previews if I set the dialog's view options to medium, large or extra-large icons, or to "Tiles" or "Content". But the Preview Pane itself stubbornly refuses to show the selected image.

Oddly, the dialog for the "Open..." command on the main PVD menu (for opening a database) DOES have the preview-pane-toggle button (but since that dialog only shows database files, I can't tell if images would preview in it or not).

What's really strange, though, is that PVD is the ONLY application I have that has this problem. The file-open dialog in, say, Microsoft Windows Paint (or in Paint.NET, or Libreoffice, or most any other app that can load images) has a fully-functional Preview pane. Likewise, Windows Explorer itself has a Preview pane, the toggle button is present, and the pane will display image file previews.

I KNOW this used to work in PVD, but I can't be sure at what point it stopped working. It may have been when I upgraded to the latest release (I am running 1.0.2.7), but I can't verify that.

I can work around this by using any of the thumbnail views within the Open-image dialog, but the dialog resets to Details view every time I use it.

Any idea what's wrong? How do I get this working again?
