hello
 I have just downloaded griffith and entered one film in and fetched info from internet;;great

But I have 100 DVDs in a simple open office spread sheet, can I enter the names in some how and get info from internet over a few days ??
have no idea how this works any help or points to would be wonderful.
Been on Wiki.not much there ,I want a step by step for more complicated moves.
Do I have to enter one by one or can I get my list in.
any thoughts would be appreciated.

By itself, Griffith doesn't seem to have any batch capability?.. So, anyway, you could actually import the movies assuming your "simple office spread sheet" is in one of the formats supported - like: CSV, XML, etc.

If we're to take a CSV (comma separated value, a standard for Office Excel), you can see from a test griffith_list.csv (which can be exported -below Import- from the File menu) that there are these sections:
Code:
number,o_title,title,director,year,classification,country,genre,rating,runtime,studio,seen,loaned,o_site,site,trailer,plot,cast,notes,image,volumes.name,collections.name,media.name,screenplay,cameraman,barcode,color,cond,layers,region,media_num,vcodecs.name

& your own file must follow this (all sections have defining codes, to match the top order). For example, each complete entry ends with:
Code:
,,,,,,0,1,

Afterward, you could select Fill empty fields only from the Edit the movie details dialog, but again, only if there were some kind of a batch function for Griffith itself (otherwise you might as well enter each movie, one by one, right?..Smiley).

P.S.
The .CSV was opened/edited from a text editor, like Notepad++ rather than Excel, and/or the associated program itself.
