export covers to csv or tab

Post by usurpator »

Hello, I need to export my cdpedia db to csv or tab (to import in bento).
I've tried everything I could think of, but could not get to export the covers (by that I mean the path to each covers in my cdpedia folder).

(humbly) help! I've got 6000 cds, I can't relink that many pictures by hand!

outside of this cdpedia is a joy to use!
many thanks!!!

The csv and tab export options can only include textfields unfortunately. But you could write a simple text template (still tab delimited) which could then include a path to your images. Something like this for example:
<!--BeginRepeat-->[key:title] [key:artist] [key:genre] /Users/[your User Name]/Library/Application Support/CDpedia/Covers/[key:uid].jpg<!--EndRepeat-->
This particular template would include the title, artist, genre and cover image path. If you want to include other fields, add the relevant tags, always separated by tabs. Tags are pretty self-explanatory but you can access the full list here.
