| | Posted: | | | | When having an application replying on the XML export of DVD Profiler my standard "workflow" has always been as follows: 1) Open DVD Profiler. 2) Edit/Add profile(s). 3) Close DVD Profiler. 4) Curse at my own stupidity. 5) Open DVD profiler. 6) Export DVD Collection to XML. 7) Close DVD Profiler. I have now made a plugin to keep an XML export updated automatically, allowing me to skip step 4-7 above. It's my first plugin, so before releasing it completely it would probably be best if a few brave people where willing to try it out first - just to make sure the installer actually runs etc.  If you are interested drop me a PM or reply here. If no one is interested I'll make the conclusion no one else needs it and keep it to myself. There are a few limitations in the plugin: I have not tried it with 3.5 beta, and I doubt it will work very well if you have multiple databases you switch between regularly (as far as I know a plugin can't detect which database you have open). | | | Regards

| | Posted: | | | | Can't you use a batch that is performing this task upon exiting DVD Profiler?
IIRC there is a standard batch file name that DVDProfiler could run whe being closed. simply add the action to export to export to XML into that and you should be fine...?
EDIT:
BTW, I believe it's a new function in 3.5, which is currently in beta... | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

| | Posted: | | | | Could be, I have not looked at 3.5 - but unless the XML export speed has increased I still prefer the plugin. | | | Regards

There was me reading too fast again  (I thought you were looking for something like that, rather than offering it...) Well, as I often export, as do most users of phpdvdprofiler, I think I would have a good use for this! I'll drop you a PM as well so you can tell me more details of what you'd want me to do. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

| | Posted: | | | | There was limited interest so I did not prioritize it. I am planning to use it myself early next year to automate my Open Media Library import - and then I'll release this plugin. | | | Regards
