April, a passionate Pedia user and HTML wizard has completed her new DVDpedia export template. It’s based on the Gamepedia template so it has al the same great features, including reordering and live searching. If you are into HTML yourself the template code is worth a look at. It’s well commented and has some handy open source Javascript classes that could be used in your own projects. Without further delay the important information is that you can download both of them from our extras page and if you have any feedback, leave her a post on this forum thread.

This year Macworld is a brand new event. It’s no longer in January, tied to an Apple keynote and sadly there is no longer an Apple booth. Although some mourn the loss it, confers some advantages, more of your time will now be available for all the other smaller Macworld exhibits. Macworld is even providing a special pavilion for small indie developers without the cash flow for a booth or those wanting help with the whirlwind world that is marketing. Stop by and discover software made with love (we are unable to attend so do let us know what you find).

Even more exciting is that their great indie spotlight idea is not limited to the physical expo. They have also orchestrated a virtual indie spotlight this year. For the next three days (February 11-13) developers are providing their wares at a 20% discount. So if you have been eyeing a Pedia but where hesitant about spending $18 dollars be sure to take advantage of this opportunity and snag one at the low price of $14.40. The Macworld 20% coupon is MACWORLD2010, but be sure to visit the indie developer spotlight list for other great value software.

If you have a large comic book library, particularly with French comics, be sure to check out iBédé, a new comic book search plug-in for the BDGest’ site. Installing the plug-in in Bookpedia will automatically change your custom fields to match those needed for comic book information and also add a special iBédé info view. The iBédé plug-in is available for 18EUR via the BDGest’ store.

The tracks tab in CDpedia can hold more than one disc worth of tracks. To show that another disc is starting, the numbering begins at 1 again. But what if you have all the tracks listed as one big disc instead of the two/three/four discs the tracks are on in reality?

Split the tracks into one or more discs. Select all the tracks that belong to one disc and ctrl-click (right-click) the selection. A contextual menu will appear where you can choose to ‘Split Selection To New Disc’ and a new disc will be added, meaning the track numbering starts at 1 again.

The same is true for the opposite as well of course. To merge tracks from several discs into one, select all, ctrl-click and choose ‘Join Selection to Previous Disc’.
