| Posted: | | | | Hi,
unfortunatly I've already wasted three hours for a task, that should take five minutes.
I have a big DVD collection (1000+) and use Excel to manage it. So I created a txt-file with my DVDs. DVDProfiler imported it, then I had to spend one hour doing some changes and additions, then it imported the profiles, again I had to click YES all the time, when there were more than one DVD (series for examples) and than finally I could click "add now" and then DVDProfiler was not able to import them with this Error message:
------------------------------------------------------------- A file access error occured.
DVD Profiler is unable to aquire access to the file. Please check file and directory attributes and permissions.
Cannot create file C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Besitzer\Desktop\DVDProfiler\Database\... -------------------------------------------------------------
I can add single DVDs, but I cannot add DVDs imported with a txt-file. So what do I have to do to get DVD Profiler working properly?
Thank you in advance m
Edit: I forgot, since I'm using Linux I installes DVD Profiler on a virtual machine running Win XP.
Edit: I tried several virtual machines, even a Win7, but it seems, DVD Profiler can't save this file if it is installed on a VM, so it doesn't work. | | | Last edited: by ml7 |

| Posted: | | | | Ok, I found it myself.
DVD Profiler is so stupid, it uses a charakter, which is not supported in filenames and does not allow to change it. Hours wasted just for that. |

| Posted: | | | | I used the EAN and the name of the movie, which was much better, because I instantly new, what moviename was missing, if the EAN wasn't in the database. DVD Profiler used the character, which was used by the texeditor for linefeed. It looked like a rectangle. And DVD Profiler wanted to build a filename with it. And no chance to change either filename or destination in DVD Profiler. |
