Hi Mediadogg,

I keep getting an error message when I open profiler from your plugin.

" Bulk Edit: Could not load file or assembly 'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=netural, PublikKey Token=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified"

Please help me to resolve the problem is I would like to use your plugin on my ordered list.

This is a known problem with 'Cinematic Collection Viewer Plugin':

1. Close DVD Profiler
2. Uninstalled CCV plugin
3. Delete 'C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Invelos_Software\DefaultDomain_Path_[a lot of letters]\1.0.0.0\user.config'
4. Install BulkEdit plugin
5. Run & close DVD Profiler
6. Reinstall CCV plugin
7. Run DVD Profiler

Step 5 is the important one. Because of this step the file 'user.config' will be created in the correct version.

Thanks, I had forgotten about that issue. Now it remains to be seen if in fact it is the same for Moses277.

Ok, you might want to rename the file instead of deleting it. Just in case you want to take a look at any user options that you will need to reset. User.config is an XML file.

Oh man, I guess I blew this one. I thought the Regex Math would be on YouTube by now, it was so cool. But instead, seems like a bust. Not a peep from anybody who even tried it, except one guy who couldn't get the plugin loaded. 

Oh well ...

Don't worry about it. Regular Expressions are complicated for programmers (sometimes they are even "write once never touch again" code, I wouldn't presume any non-programmer (or non-mathematician) to touch them.

I wouldn't touch them if I wouldn't have to deal with them at work regularily.

DJ Thanks for lifting my spirits!     

But at least we have it. When a non-programmer needs something, we do just like we do for HTML sections. We just give'm some code and say "here, copy and paste this ..."

I hope people will eventually post handy scripts that do things we often have to do on DVDP fileds. It just saves needing to export the XML, run some script, then re-import the data somehow. For example, you could run your ASIN to ProfileID converter and populate a work column with the data, then run another script to do something else, run SQL, etc. - all without unloading DVDP.
Thanks for your support.

I tried to use bulk edit to update collection number of some 500 profiles. I wanted to increment said profiles by 3, e.g. 2015 + 3 = 2018 a.s.o. I tried to use Tool4 using (\d{4}) in the Look For field and $1+3 in the Replace With which obviously didn't come out right, because Replace With is a text field. Stupid me. I then realized that this specific action can't be done in Tool 4. 
If it is at all possible I would love bulk edit to be able to increment the collection number field by a user defined integer. The functionality within DVDP is NOT reliable, me thinks.

I would also like it if the input fields in tool 4 could be wider. Some times I'm lazy and paste entire title strings there.
And if you think it is important. I saw that Tool 4 has an extra 4 in the label.

I have v2.37.

Ok, you will soon (days?) get the Regex "Math" option in Tool4, which will do exactly what you want, and the fields will be widened. 

Meanwhile, some options:
(1) the increment option is already on Slot (context menu). If you are using Slot, you could save it elsewhere, say in Label Side B, copy collection# into Slot, Increment, copy back to Collection#, restore Slot from Label Side B, then use Regex to clear Label Side B. Whew!
(2) Version 2.46 has a new bulk load personal data function. You could just create a simple CSV of the new collection numbers (profileID used as key) and bulk load them. Relatively fast. See my recent post for examples.
(3) On the list for future release: add increment to collection number.

(1) I never realized it was there, until now.
(2) Good to know.
(3)

The upcoming V2.47, when I get the bugs out, will use "return ($1 + 3).ToString();"  as the Replace With expression, since it is based on Microsoft C#. Can you deal with this kind of programming? I am trying to avoid writing my own parser / compiler by using the built-in Microsoft tools.

I have no problem understanding "return ($1 + 3).ToString();"

That 500 profiles have already been fixed (using BE tool 4).
It took a long while and it didn't come out perfect (a few collection number needed to be corrected).

Anyway...
With your new tool it is shure to be flawless, next time around.

Many thanks for the update!!!

Good news. What went wrong that kept it from being flawless - something I can fix?

It wasn't the tool that did anything wrong, it was the way I did it and I missed some of them before saving in BE. I corrected it in DVDP. All is good!!!

Hi,

How do I run step 3 on Windows Vista?
