Does your program allow filename overlays?

Help & Support
1

I have a list of files labled Trk1, Trk2, Trk3, etc. ,etc., etc. All of these files are .avi (movie) files.

I have another list that actually has the Title, Artist, Maker of those .avi files.

Can your program overlay the first list with the second?

So let me get this right...

You have the following:

Trk1.avi
Trk2.avi
Trk3.avi
...

as well as:

Desc1.txt
Desc2.txt
Desc3.txt
...

Is this correct? Now what you are wanting to do is "inject" the information stored in "Desc?.txt" into the "Trk?.avi" file? If that's so, the support for this depends greatly on the type of AVI file you have. I know that DiVX files (some files are saved with the AVI extension) support information encoding similar to what you find in the ID3 tags of MP3s. I believe you can add attributes of any value pairs you want so you could edit each "Trk?.avi" file to have the value pairs of the "description" file. A long description could generated from the comment field.

I'm not sure the source (NTFS I think), support for Title, Subject, Category, Keywords, Comments, Source, Author, and Revision Number is built into the file system.

Opus supports file descriptions where you can type free text to describe any file. The description for each file in a folder is stored in a common, plain-text file named "Descript.ion" that contains the descriptions for all files and subfolders in the folder.

The format within a descript.ion file is:

"File Or Folder Name.ext" Description for this file

Perhaps you could store your information there. It wouldn't be too difficult to write a script to copy text from your descriptive files to the descript.ion format (that is if your files are also plain text).
