Version 2.5
Change: Special handling of group dividers to be able to see role names of group members in appearances search
Fix: Minor tweak in profile editing combobox
Fix: Export IsRegular with Viewer Collection File and TV Series export


I am releasing this now, even though I haven't changed much. But the first change I think is an important one because of the ever-increasing use of group dividers. You'll need to reimport the Profiler XML file to have the full effect.

Quoting Sidnei Novais:

Here I am with another question: Is it possible to export the infos from Event/Review tab of episodes profiles? In the Export -> TV Series Collection File, the xml file generated do not carry these informations, as well the "Regular" [flag] cast and crew.


I only got around to add the Regular flag. For the others there is more to do. I am guessing, that as you want it to use as backup option, that also import of that information is needed. Also there are other information I currently do not export. I need to add an option to enable the export of such additional and personal information. I wanted to wait with the release until I have implemented this, but I didn't get around to it yet. It will be done for a future version.
And I noticed I forgot to include the change the Deviant skin 
I will include it the next time.

Thanks for the great work, Tom. Much appreciated.
I have on question/request, though.

When exporting the collection to html, crew data for TV series is arranged like this:

|_Episode 1 Divider_]
Director X
|_Episode 2 Divider_]
Director Y
|_Episode 3 Divider_]
Director Z
[...]

|_Episode 1 Divider_]
written by A
|_Episode 2 Divider_]
written by B
|_Episode 3 Divider_]
written by C
[...]

and so on and so forth. I don't know if that is a result of CCV or the html skins. Is there a chance you could include an option for TV series crew data to be arranged by episode divider first? Like this:

|_Episode 1 Divider_]
Director X
written by A
Producer 5
[...]

|_Episode 2 Divider_]
Director Y
written by B
Producer 5
[...]

If that turned out to be a solvable problem that you could fix in one of the next releases that would elevate your program from awesome to perfect for me. 

Either way, keep up the good work...

I assume you are using the skin "CompactKing". This skin only uses DVD Profiler specific tags for crew, which only allows to list each kind of crew type separately.

If you replace in "Tools->Edit Skin..." the following at the end of the "CompactKing" skin

<DP NAME="CREDITS_DIRECTION" SUFFIX="<BR>" PREFIX="<b>Direction:</b><BR>" SHOWROLES="YES" DIVIDER="BREAK">
          <DP NAME="CREDITS_WRITING" SUFFIX="<BR>" PREFIX="<b>Writing:</b><BR>" SHOWROLES="YES" DIVIDER="BREAK">
          <DP NAME="CREDITS_PRODUCTION" SUFFIX="<BR>" PREFIX="<b>Production:</b><BR>" SHOWROLES="YES" DIVIDER="BREAK">
          <DP NAME="CREDITS_CINEMATOGRAPHY" SUFFIX="<BR>" PREFIX="<b>Cinematography:</b><BR>" SHOWROLES="YES" DIVIDER="BREAK">
          <DP NAME="CREDITS_FILMEDITING" SUFFIX="<BR>" PREFIX="<b>Film Editing:</b><BR>" SHOWROLES="YES" DIVIDER="BREAK">
          <DP NAME="CREDITS_MUSIC" SUFFIX="<BR>" PREFIX="<b>Music:</b><BR>" SHOWROLES="YES" DIVIDER="BREAK">
          <DP NAME="CREDITS_SOUND" SUFFIX="<BR>" PREFIX="<b>Sound:</b><BR>" SHOWROLES="YES" DIVIDER="BREAK">
          <DP NAME="CREDITS_ART" SUFFIX="<BR>" PREFIX="<b>Art:</b><BR>" SHOWROLES="YES" DIVIDER="BREAK">
           




with


<CCV NAME="CREW" Divider="BREAK" ShowRoles="YES" RoleDivider=".....">


you should get what you want.

Wow, that was fast...thanks.   

Actually, I'm using the RHo classic skin. That one uses the same method for creating crew data as CompactKing, apparently.

Quote:
<!-- cast box -->
<form class="invisible">
<textarea id="credits">
<DP NAME="CREDITS_DIRECTION" SUFFIX="***" PREFIX="" SHOWROLES="YES" DIVIDER="***" ROLEDIVIDER=" as ">
<DP NAME="CREDITS_WRITING" SUFFIX="***" PREFIX="" SHOWROLES="YES" DIVIDER="***" ROLEDIVIDER=" as ">

<textarea id="directors"><DP NAME="DIRECTORS" DIVIDER="***"></textarea>
<textarea id="actors">

</form>
<span id="castbox" class="invisible">
<table class="box">
<tr><td class="boxhead" colspan="2">
Crew
</td></tr>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

var people = new Array();
var person = new Array();
var i = 0;
var count = 0;

manglepersonlist(document.getElementById('credits'));
manglepersonlist(document.getElementById('directors'));

people = document.getElementById('credits').value.split('***');

if (people[0] != '') for (i = 0; i < people.length ; i++) {
  person = people[i].split(' as ');
  if (person.length <= 1) {
    person[1] = '';
  }
  writeperson(person[1], person[0]);
  count++;
}

/* use old list for DVDPro 2.2.0 and older */
if (count == 0) {
  people = document.getElementById('directors').value.split('***');

  if (people[0] != '') for (i = 0; i < people.length ; i++) {
    writeperson('Director', people[i]);
  }
}

</script>

Using <CCV...> instead of <DP...> sort of works: Example

That's already a lot better than before but is there a way to recreate the original design (role left, rew member right)? Yeah, I know, I'm hard to please. Sorry...

Did you use

<CCV NAME="CREW"  DIVIDER="***" SHOWROLES="YES" ROLEDIVIDER=" as ">
?

As far as I can see it should work then.
My parametrization example was for the CompactKing skin.

I used

<CCV NAME="CREW" Divider="BREAK" ShowRoles="YES" RoleDivider=".....">
with the example I linked as a result.

<CCV NAME="CREW"  DIVIDER="***" SHOWROLES="YES" ROLEDIVIDER=" as ">
from your last post, however, works like a charm.

Thanks a million, you're my hero.

Hello again, Tom!

An odd thing happened to me today when I try to access a profile newly imported from DVD Profiler. Just after double-clicking it, the following error shows, closing the CCV.



At first, I thought it was an invalid character somewhere in this profile, but I add manually a similar one with same informations by cutting/pasting from DVDP to CCV and the error didn't occur. Could it be something in the xml file?

Any help will be very much appreciated!

Could you make an XML export of only the affected profile (in DVD Profiler) and send it to me? Thanks.
Looks like some value in the profile causes a display control to be set to something invalid.

By opening the xml file in a text editor, I was intrigued with this line:

<Review Film="-1" Video="0" Audio="0" Extras="0"/>

I changed the Review Film value to "0" and imported it to CCV. Now it's working fine.
Wondering how could DVD Profiler export a negative value for the review, since it's '0' in itself. A little bizarre event.

Anyway, thanks for the quick response!
