[...] but then just accessed some pictures from his local machine.
That's what I intended. Link it to the pictures folder of my database, this would save the USB-stick.
Think I'll have to enter my local MediaMarkt tomorrow. So you could just download the covers file on the DVDProfiler database onto the frame or a USB drive and use that? Cool idea!!! | | | | My Collection!!! |

| | Posted: | | | | Usually the image files for your covers can be found in a directory much like
C:\Documents and Settings\your username\My Documents\DVD Profiler\Databases\Default\Images. |

| | Posted: | | | | I did something similar. I setup my DVDProfiler image directory to be shared by Windows Media Connect and TiVo Desktop software. I can then run slide shows on my TV of the DVD covers.

| | Posted: | | | | My particular variation on this is that I use a wallpaper-changing program which allows me to decide on which of various categories I want to choose from. My DVD cover directory populates one of those directories. I don't have time to scan every single DVD cover, but I scan if I can't get a good front & back out of the DVD Profiler database and if I just think the cover is particularly cool. |

| | Posted: | | | | Can anyone help me out here, the image file I have found contains tons of cover scans (from the online community, I have never scanned my own covers into the system) but some are not part of my collection and not all of my collection covers appear in the file!!! I cannot figure out how to create a file with all the cover scans from collection (minus wishlist) that I move onto a USB memory stick!!! Thanks to anyone who can help me out, I have no idea what I am doing!!!  | | | | My Collection!!! |

| | Posted: | | | | I believe all your dvdart scans are jpgs so do a search for .jpg ( in the folder your profiler is located) and then copy and 'paste' into a separate file- fix and cleanup and sort- and then use 'that' file for your usb stix . | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

Seems I've got a lot of film coverart in there from movies I don't own, possibly from my wishlist but I am not sure. Is there any way to filter, or do I need to just copy and then sort out later? Is this the only way or am I missing something? | | | | My Collection!!! |

| | Posted: | | | | well how ever you do it,, you have art work that doesn't belong, you could arrange and sort and remove in the file folder, or you could actually go into your DVD Profiler itself and do a complete refresh images 'with your locks off' .., That way you'll get the real deal image to the upc code or ID disc image that has been contributed and voted on and should be correct..
if you feel that there are some images you yourself placed there instead of ,, you could lock those off. Now with all your images refreshed and replaced, you could be sure of the jpegs being what you want them to be in your folder that you search and then do the copy and paste routine .
If your wish list is not to be added, perhaps save your .dpb to another folder, then remove all wishlist and then do the jpg search.. The images by the way are named such as; 017153136043f /043396077515b ., and therefore are not very easy to find said titles or dates are not created with these names., So removing wishlist would be easier than trying to locate and leave behind in your copy and paste search., otherwise maybe leave the wishlist as titles to be also displayed in your picture holder. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

| | Posted: | | | | In Profiler go to Tools, Options, Utilities, Clean image directory. That should remove all the covers of profiles no longer in your collection. It will however still contain your wishlist covers.
You could copy just your owned profiles into another db to give you a folder with just your owned covers in...
To do that follow these steps:
select your owned list and hit ctrl-A
make a backup of flagged profiles only
create a new database from the 'File, Open database' menu
restore the backup file in the newly created blank db
browse to the image directory of the new db to find your owned covers
Edit: And to extract only the front covers from the folder, search for f.jpg | | | | Last edited: by MarEll |
