HOW TO: Add Stark like covers

[tylor]

Hi APorter,

Not sure I follow...

If you add a new movie to one of the locations already in the .bat file (which have already been scanned and converted), simply re-run the .bat file and it will pick up on the new movie image file. This is obviously dependant on having the folder.jpg image alongside the new movie.

Thanks for posting. I ran this last night without any problems. What happens when you add a new movie to a folder that is part of the .bat file?

I don't know the code behind it, but if you add a new movie and only want to update that movie, i'd rather point it just to that new location than have it run on ALL my media over again, for example:

@echo off
StarkCovers.exe "F:\MOVIE STUDIO\MOVIES\NEW MOVIE FOLDER" Overlay.png
pause

It doesn't take a long time as the .exe scips all of the movies that have already been completed.

For example I added one new movie to a list of 60 which had already been converted and the .bat file identified within seconds that only 1 new procedure was needed to convert.

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know if only the new movie would run rather than all movies running every time.

No problems, Tyborg did a great job with this coding... hopefully it may transition itself into a future build as it looks very slick

Am I just missing something or does this not work in Win 7? Because I cant get past the first step. Finding the folder in the user folder!

Iv tried the x32 and the x64 installers and its just not there.

Run a search for the scripts folder. Mine was inside another folder.

Ok I am running this on vista x86. Have gimp installed with all defaults, copied the .scm file to c:/users/Chuck/.Gimp-2.6, Batch looks like:
@echo off
REM Just a few examples of what works

StarkCovers.exe "\\WHS\Movies" C:\users\Chuck\Desktop\Overlay.png
REM StarkCovers.exe \\Antec_HTPC\Movies\Kids -revertjpg
REM StarkCovers.exe "\\Antec_HTPC\Movies\Chick Flicks" -delpngbkp
REM StarkCovers.exe M:\Movies\Exercise -revertpng

pause


All the other files are right on the desktop. However when I run the script I get this...

NM I got it!
Need to put the .scm file into c:\users\Chuck\.Gimp-2.6\Scripts

Where did you save the GIMP app? I saved mine in C:\Program Files\Gimp...\.....\Scripts
