Hi:
Have you ever converted info from "Fox Movie Manager" format to Extreme MM format?
I appears the company has gone out of business. I bought your manager with hopes of being able to convert my "Fox" database to yours.
They Export their database in .txt / .htm / .xls file formats.
Any hints about how to proceed with this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
George

Hello!
Do you mean you want remove the Custom5 etc.. from the Main Grid? If yes, just right-click on the column title and select, from the menu, remove column.

Hi Ale:
Thanks for the quick reply!
I tried using just a list of titles, and it worked.
My problem is that I have a couple of dedicated fields to tell me where the physical DVDs are stored (Book # / Disk #), and I want to import them. Manually keying in
1000 entries doesn't appeal!
I have been trying to use a .CSV file I generated using the .xls file through Excel then edited it down to simply "Title,Location,Custom Tag" like below:
Title,Location,Custom Tag
11:14 (2003),#1,Book #1 / Disks #1-2
12 Monkeys: Special Edition,#1,Book #1 / Disks #4-5
"13th Warrior, The",#1,Book #1 / Disks #4-5
Association didn't work the first time I tried it, but as I was going through the steps again and documenting them as a bug fix request - it worked, and my .CSV file was read in correctly - Great!!!
Next issue: Is there any way to selectively remove "Sub-titles" (Custom 5, Custom 6, Genre, Sub -Genre, etc) from the main movie page? In my travels through the UI, I thought I saw something that indicated I could, but cannot find it again, was I dreaming?
Regards and Thanks for the great and under priced product - I will be an XMM evangelist.

Hello,
I don't know this manager. If you can export only titles to txt then you can copy and paste it in the function "Add movies from a txt list", and then you can reimport everything from internet with scripts.
I think thats the best way because XMM will populate also Actors database.
