DVD Cover Grabber

return of the living dead is one of my favourite movies of all time. Excellent work!

Hi,

I have about 600 movies - is there any way to automate this so that for any folder that >doesn't< already have a folder.jpg, it will stick the first one it finds in there?

Also, I really don't want extra files/directories in there, despite how useful it is to technical people. I really just want the cover!

Thanks

this is very cool. have pictures now for most of my daughters movies so she can navigate with ease

I notice it seems to have problems with titles with (...) eg The Incredibles (Disc1)... throws an error. I could rename the folders but wondered if there was an easy work-around in the code...

Would be neat to have an option to re-search just for a specific title/search criteria, or filter so it only shows movies that don't yet have an image but that's all adding bloat...

Hey there. Yeah I would like to add that feature. I have put dev on hold because someone else is working on something VERY similar and I thought it was going to be released soon. But... I havent seen it as yet.

So I am going to start recoding it from the ground up. At the moment its a little inefficient as it downloads all this xml files etc. I am going to include a backgroundworker and use the mysettings stuff in .net 2.0 so its quicker.
Just need to get some time.

Anyway I will keep you posted.

hey dir,

I missed your post. The new version is doing away with the xml and folders so that may appeal to you. I will also try and add a feature to exclude folders that do not have teh folder.jpg file.

Hey guys,

The new version is pretty much almost done. It includes a search feature if results arent what your after and it can also only show folders that require an image through the options. Also it doesnt create any folders or files (except for the folder.jpg) on your drive now.

Heres a pic:



I will upload it soon.

I just download the software and it's really good. I had one small problem I hope you can help me with. I have the first Season of Deadwood and I have the folder structure setup like this
C:myDVD\Deadwood-Season One\Disc1
C:myDVD\Deadwood-Season One\Disc2
an so for. When I opened the program instead of it displaying Deadwood it just displayed season. not season one just the single word season. Not sure why, i was hoping youwould be able to help me with that. I was able to use the search feature and get the right image so that worked great.

Thanks for the program.

Ah yeah I know what that is. I will work on that shortly.

Basically I have to use a regular expression to trim the name from the directory and I assume the regex isnt quite right.

Im glad you like it. I really appreciate the feedback.
