How to Create a Text File Using Widget Print Directory

Once you download Widget Print Directory, unzip it, then install it by double clicking on setup.exe and following the directions on the screens. Please install it in C:\Widget\WidgetPrintV3_1\ which it will default to.

Once it is installed, start it by selecting PrintDirV3_1 from you start > Programs menu. Select Format Form from the menu bar.

Select the check boxes as shown below then close the screen.

Select Choose Directory from the menu bar.

Select the directory on your hard drive where your movies are located and press OK.

A directory listing will be displayed. Select Save As from the menu bar.

Select a location to save the text file, give it a name and press Save.

You can now edit the file and specify a media type and location for your movies if you wish. If you do not specify a location for the movies, the location field for each movie will be blank. If you do not specify a media type for the movies, the media type will be the movie's file extension.

If you want all the movie files to have the same location, on the first line of the text file add :location where location will be added to the location field for each movie. If you want some movies to have a different location, each movie can have a location specified for it by appending |location| to the end of the movie file name. The |location| will take precedence over the :location if one was added.

If you want all the move files to have the same media type other than their file extension, on either the first or second line (depending whether you added :location ), add ::media type where media type will be added to the media field for each movie.

When adding a movie with a media type that is not already defined in the media list, the media type will automatically be added to the list for you.

All blank lines, lines containing 'Path/Names' or 'Sub Total', lines with a path but without a file extension and lines with a file extension not defined in the Options screen will all be skipped. So be sure all the file extensions you want to add are defined in the Options > Miscellaneous screen > Movie File Extensions:.
