plain text list of movies in database

I think I may have already asked for this a long, long time ago, and I almost remember it actually being available, but perhaps only as a moderator tool?

I would like to be able to generate a list in plain text of all the titles on the database (without duplicates, so no AKA titles). Ideally, the list would include title, year and the profile number (so I can then refer to the profile easily, rather than having to do a search).

Even better would be if it were possible to generate lists based on different search criteria, like for example: all USA movies from the 1990s, or something like that. But if that's complicated or requires a lot of work, I'd be happy to just have a list of all the titles on the database.

Thanks.

Joseph, you are right. There was such a function but it was only available for admin. That was back in the Bijou days. It certainly would be handy to have such a list(s) available again.

I know, it's a shameful dark secret. I have to live with it every day.

Any update on this requested feature? I was just thinking about how useful that would be and almost started a new thread. Then I remembered, hey, didn't I ask about this already?

My memory sucks.

To be honest, I'd completely forgotten about it... I'll try to remember this time - otherwise, keep reminding me Smiley

Well, we all  have memory problems it seems. Maybe between the lot of us someone will remember to remind you not to forget.

This is now done Smiley There's some links next to your profile and preferences links (above the search box) to download the lists from the database.
