Hi, I’ve been playing around with the shareware demo and it looks really cool. I think I’m going to register it for my own use, but I am really looking to see if it does some more complex stuff.
I live in a house with 2 other nerds, the 3 of us have desktops, plus we have a server and an AV player in the main room with a TV card. Anyway, between these 5 machines we have about 1.2TB of movies (don’t worry, they’re all legit…). It is getting to the point that I know we are over lapping a huge amount, which is why we want a file manager like XMM.
Can XMM support UNC paths or paths via shares for File add? Movie File 1: works if I manually type in \\server\movies\movie.avi or \\server\h$\movies\movie.avi but it doesn’t let me do a mass file add to anything but a drive. It lets us use mapped drives, but that would mean everyone would need to have about 14 mapped drives which would just kill our network. Not to mention we would even have to have maps to our own drives to keep the letters straight.
Second, can we put the database of movies on a shared drive and have everyone link to it. Will this cause file lock problems? We could put a copy of database on each machine, but then updates are a total pain unless they are all done on a master db and then it is copied down to every sub machine for every change. Again, I don’t really want to do this via a mapped drive.
The other small problem I had, which may just be me doing something stupid, is I have to go back and put the file name in quotes manually to let it play (wmplayer). This isn’t a problem on 20 files, but to import the 6000 we have would just suck.
Anyway, XMM is a program I have been looking for for about 2 years, it really rocks. Thanks.

Hi,
I think that is a problem of Scripts, not XMM. However, I will make some test.
