| | Posted: | | | | I have all my scanned dvd covers stored in a hard disk. In this hard disk I hAve a directory called 'DVD Covers' and under this directory I have directories '0-9', 'A', 'B', 'C',..., 'X', 'Y', 'Z'. In these directories I make a separate directory for each and every movie and put my covers in it.
That is, the covers for the movie 'Con-Air' are stored in \DVD Covers\C\Con-Air.
How can I make DVD Profiler to not store its own covers but to point to the covers I already have stored?
Thanks in advance |

| | Posted: | | | | I may be wrong but I don't believe you can as the image files are specially numbered to connect them to the profile and I've also never seen an option to customise where the images are stored.
I don't know if you could trick the program by replacing it's images with shortcuts to yours, but it would take a lot of setting up.
You can of course copy and paste your own images into Profiler and lock them so they don't get overridden by the online versions, but that would create a duplicate of the image - I'm not sure if you'd mind that or not. |

| | Posted: | | | | I guess you could always have a HTML Window that uses javascript to dynamically point to your covers. |

| | Posted: | | | | I believe all the DVD Profiler cover files need to be in one directory and follow a strict naming convention, so nope, it's not possible with your separate directories. |

Yeah, it's possible, provided you have the know-how, which I don't Unfortunately I don`t have the know-how neither. Anyone can provide some help on how to do it? Quoting northbloke: Quote:

| | Posted: | | | | I simply open the movie and selected cover scans and click on the folder in upper left corner and pointed to my cover image.
I would like to know how to "lock" the images.
Thanks. |

| | Posted: | | | | Right click on the profile in the list and select "Lock" - "Cover Images" (or "Entire DVD" if you prefer...) |

Thanks. Thanks for your help, but this does not solve the problem. By doing this DVD profiler does not point to the saved cover; instead, it saves a copy of the previously saved scanned cover into its Images directory |

| | Posted: | | | | AddictedDVD has written an HTML gallery window that you might be able to adapt to suit your needs.
It's over in the Layout forum. |
