| | Posted: | | | | I'm sure someone will have an answer for me... I am trying to flag by upc from a txt file of barcodes that are already in my collection... I go to Flags, Flag by UPC, I load the file, it shows all the titles. I press OK and nothing happens, no flags...
any help would be greatly apreciated...
also slightly off topic, does anyone have a really good way of taking inventory (marching what I have to what I should have) using a similar bar code txt file... I know Karsten has a stand alone program that takes bar code input... but my i am using my phone to scan and it wont go direct to the pc, only to a txt file...
Thanks! | | | | -JoN |

| | Posted: | | | | A flag list is just a text file of UPCs. Save the text file in the DVDProfiler flags directory with an extension of .lst. Then load the flag set you just saved. | | | | Registered: February 10, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | green for you... that totally worked for my main problem of loading those as flagged... sadly I needed to tag them as "in storage" because I have officially outgrown my shelves.
If anyone has any tips on taking physical inventory that would be helpful, I plan on doing that tomorrow.
Thanks! | | | | -JoN |

You scan the UPCs, Flag by UPC loading the file and all are flagged. Now you could either save this as a flag-set and work with this, or as I would prefer, assign those titles a tag e.g. "inventoried Sep 2010". And at the End of the Day you filter those titles who do NOT have this tags. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

That could work but how would that work if I had a UPC in my list that is not in my collection... Does it just go unnoticed or will the program give an error?

I've checked your program out but my i am using my phone to scan and it wont go direct to the pc, only to a txt file...
What do you guys think? | | | | -JoN |

| | Posted: | | | | I could read that file and process it the same as if you had entered them. Would that help? | | | Karsten

In the Flag by UPC dialog a UPC that is not in the collection is marked red and the title "Unknown Title" is given, but as far as I can see that is about that, you would need to write down those numbers by hand which would be very unenjoyable if you have a lot of them. | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

how would that work Karsten? You scan the UPCs with your phone, save the text file, transfer it onto the computer and load it into DVDInventory. Then all the entries of that list will disappear and the remaining are, well, the remaining. | | | Karsten
