9. Tape List7
The Collection Card is placed on the right side of the screen.
You can access the Collection Card window by tapping anywhere on the Collection Card or by pressing Ctrl-C og Enter.
There is one Collection Card for each Film Presentation. The Collection Card contains information about you private video collection:
Amount. The number of recordings of the related video. This value should normally be 1 but if you want to keep informations on films that you do not have yourself you can register them with the amount field set to 0..
My Price. The price you have paid for the video. If you have recorded the film on a blank tape then register the part of the price of the blank tape that reflects the tape usage for the current recording.
Current Price. The current market price of the film/recording.
Recorded From. The source of the recording (television channel) or (in case of purchased films/recordings) the store where you got the film/recording.
Recorded Date. Default value is current date, so you should register your film/recording right there in the shop when you buy it or as soon as you have made the recording.
Sound. Ex: Mono, Stereo, Surrond.
Tape No. This field should contain a tape/disk specification that identify where to find the film/recording.
Start Pos. This field is only relevant for recordings on tapes/disk that contain multible recordings. Register the start position of the recording on the specified tape/disk.
Lent To. When lending out your videos make a note in this field about it.
You can simply browse around your film/recording collection using the left (previous), right (next), home (first) and end (last) buttons. You can also use the List View (Shift-Ctrl-L) to browse through your titles. More advanced browsing can be done using the Find Field and Define Where Clause. You can also get Summary Information on your video collection and you can use the Find Space utility to search for unused space on your tapes.
Find Field
The Find Field is found on the bottom right corner of the screen.
You can activate the Find Field by pressing Ctrl-F.
When activated the Find Field lets you type in a search criteria. Submit the search criteria by pressing Enter and the main screen will show the first occurence of a film/recording containing that criteria in one of its text fields (not including the Notes nor the Video Type description).
You can browse around the films/recordings matching the entered search criteria using the up (previous), down (next), pgup (first) and pgdn (last) keys. The left and right keys can still be used to browse through all the films/recordings.
Define Where Clause
If you have a little knowledge of SQL you can define the where clause to be used.
You can access the Define Where Clause window by pressing Ctrl-W.
Here you can specify the where clause of the view being used. An empty where clause selects all films/recordings.
You should not specify the "where" token here, just what is to follow it.
Here are some examples of strings you could specify:
1) "amount > 0"
2) "amount > 0 and LentTo <> ''"
3) "amount > 0 and starring like '*Nicholson*'"
Note, if you enter an "a" as the first character of the where clause it will be interpreted as "amount>0". This means that you can write the following where clause:
"a and Year < 1979"
The names of the fields are shown at the bottom of the Define Where Clause window.
From the Define Where Clause window you can access the Where Clause List window by pressing Ctrl-L. Here you can maintain named where clauses for reuse.
You can also use the Define Where Clause to specify an order by clause. All fields have indexes allowing them to be used in an order by clause:
Define Where Clause can be used together with the Find Field. Up and down keys will browse through entries matching both settings while left and right keys will browse through entries matching the where clause.
Get summary information
From the main screen you can open the Summary Information window by pressing Ctrl-S.
This window will show:
1) The number of films/recordings in your collection
2) The number of different films/recordings in your collection (number of films/recordings with amount set to 1)
3) The price you have paid for the entire collection
4) The value of the entire collection
5) The difference between the value of the collection and what you have paid for it (surplus)
6) The average film/recording price
7) The average film/recording value
8) The surplus as a percentage of your spendings
The summary is based on the current Find Field and Where Clause. If the current Find Field and Where Clause are empty the Summary Information will be based on the entire collection.
List View
From the main screen you can open the List View window by pressing Shift-Ctrl-L.
This window will show you the list of titles that match your where clause. The list will also be sorted as specified in the where clause.
From the List View window you can:
- create a new entry
- delete an entry
- edit an entry
- select the entry to be viewed in the main window.
Find Space
From the main screen you can open the Find Space window by pressing Shift-Ctrl-S.
This window will let you specify the number of continous minutes you are looking for and begin the search.
The search will result in a message specifying:
1) The tape number where the specified space will best fit
2) The position on the specified tape where the unused space begins (format: Hours:Minutes)
3) The title of the recording ending just before the unused space (if the unused space is found at the begining of the tape the title will refer to the recording following the unused space)
4) The amount of excess minutes ie the difference between the space you asked for and the space found (the program looks for the space with the smallest amount of excess minutes)
Note: Tapes with no recordings on them are not searched for space. Empty tapes should be kept seperately, so that you can use them if the Find Space utility cannot find the required space on your recorded tapes.
Video types are registered in a separate table containing two fields:
1) Type sort key
2) Type name
A Type sort key will be stored with every film/recording. The related type name is looked up and showed on the Film Presentation on the main screen.
The sort key can be used to sort your collection items. This will allow you to specify the type's real name without having to think about how it will be sorted. Ex:
Video Type Name: VHS Video
Sort key: 110
You can activate the Video Type Selection window from the main screen by pressing Ctrl-Shift-T.
The Video Type Selection window lets you perform the following tasks:
Select
Returns the current type as a new value for the current film/recording (shown on the main screen)
Edit code and name of the current video type.
Note! If you change the type code all films/recordings marked with this code will be changed as well.
Create a new type.
Delete
Delete the current type.
Note! If no other video type with the same code exists all films/recordings with the same type will be updated with no type.
If you wish to delete an existing video type you should first change the code to one used by another video type. By doing that all films/recordings of the type to be deleted will obtain the other video type instead of having no video type.
The main screen contains the folowing four objects:
1) A Film presentation on the left containing information that you would find on a film presentation (title, director, starring, etc)
2) A Collection Card on the right containing information about your video collection (record/purchace information, location etc)
3) A window containing the first three lines of your Notes. You can access the entire text by tapping in the window or by pressing Ctrl-N.
4) A Find Field is placeed in the bottom right corner for performing searches in the The Collection.
There is also access to:
5) You can open the Summary Information window by pressing Ctrl-S.
6) You can access the Define Where Clause window by pressing Ctrl-W.
Each of these objects are described in detail in the following sections.
Createing and Deleting Videos
You can create new entries directly from the main screen by pressing Ctrl-Shift-N.
When creating a new entry you will be asked if you want the information on the current video to be copied to the new entry.
You can delete the current video directly from the main screen by pressing Ctrl-Shift-D or just pressing the Del key.
You can import and export collection information to/from ascii files using the Import/Export utility.
Activate the Import/Export utility by pressing Ctrl-Shift-E.
1) Import an ascii file by pressing the import button (Ctrl-M) from the Import/Export window.
2) Generate an export file by pressing the Export button (Ctrl-X) from the Import/Export window.
The Import/Export window prompts you for a file name. The Import/Export window also lets you access five other windows:
1) The Set window (Ctrl-S) lets you define format sets for import and/or export. If the file export.dbf does not exist (eg first time you start the program) sets for Sheet and HTML exports are created for you.
2) The Form window (Ctrl-F) lets you specify the format of the current Set:
Format: List or Form. List reads/produces simple import/export files only containing field values and separators. Form produces export files containing both field values and field prompts. Note that you cannot import files in Form format.
File Head: The string to be placed in the beginning of the file. This string is only placed once in each import/export file.
File Foot: The string to be placed in the end of the file. This string is only placed once in each import/export file.
Before Record: The string to be placed before each collection item in import/export files. Strings of more or less than one character are extended with a new line character.
After Record: Th
e string to be placed after each collection item in import/export files. Strings of more or less than one character are extended with a new line character.
End With After Record: If checked, the After Record separator is also placed after the last collection item of the import/export file. If unchecked, the After Record separator is only placed between records.
Field separator: The string to be placed between all fields. An empty field separator is implemented as a new line character.
End with field separator: If checked, a field separator is added to the end of each record (after the last field). If unchecked, the field separators are only placed between fields.
Before Field: A string to be placed before each field. This is used to enclose the fields.
After Field: A string to be placed after each field. This is used to enclose the fields.
3) The Lable fields (Ctrl-L) window lets you specify the order of the Lable Item fields. Low sequence numbers are placed before high numbers. Fields without sequence numbers are not imported/exported at all.
4) The Collection fields (Ctrl-C) window lets you specify the order of the Collection fields. Low sequence numbers are placed before high numbers. Fields without sequence numbers are not imported/exported at all.
5) The Notes (Ctrl-N} window lets you setup the output format of the Notes field.
As for 2) and 3) you can specify the sequence numer of the Notes field. Again an empty field specifies that you do not want the Notes included in the import/export.
The No Of Lines field lets you specify a fix number of lines to be generated for Notes. If the actual notes take less lines that what you have specified blank lines will be added to mach your setting. If the notes cannot fit within the specified number of lines the text will be truncated. If you set the No Of Lines field to "0" all text will be included in the export and no extra lines will be added.
The Line Width field is used to specify a maximum line width to be used for Notes. This will assure that no line will be wider than Line Width characters. If you have <new line> characters in your notes, some lines might get shorter than the specified width.
Sketch
&Paint.app
You can access the Tape List window by pressing (Ctrl-A).
Ctrl-B will open the Tape Dialog for the current tape directly. If a matching tape does not exist a new tape is created automatically.
Tape No
Each film/recording should be placed on a tape identified by a tape number (the field Tape No).
There are two Tape No fields in this program:
1) Tape No of the Tape List (Ctrl-A). This Tape No defines the name of your
tapes.
Tape No of the recording (Ctrl-C or Enter). This Tape No defines which tape the current recording is placed on.
The link between your tapes and your recordings is the Tape No.
Ex: All recordings with the Tape No "0001" are located on the tape with the Tape No "0001".
You should name your tapes in a way so they can be sorted using the Tape No.
If you use numbers to name your tapes you should add zeros to the front of the numbers: "0001" instead of "1". This will prevent tape number "2" from being placed after "10".
Lent To
As you cannot lend a single recording to someone but is forced lend an entire tape at the time (including all other films/recordings on that tape) the maintenance of who the tape is lent to should not go on each recording but rather on the entire tape.
This is why the Video Collection contains a Tape List besides the film/recordings list. You can maintain the Tape List by pressing Ctrl-A while on the main screen.
Tape Length
The Tape List also contains information on the length of each tape.
This information is used by the Find Space utility to determine how much unused space you have left on your tapes.

Be very careful when you move or copy applications between the C and D drives. It seems that the Psion is not correctly updated when applicaions are copied from C to D or vice versa.
Always delete the application directory from one drive before reinstalling on the other drive.
3. Low on battery
When starting up this program for the first time a lot of writing is done to the disk. If your machine is low on battery these writes can go wrong and turn the application files bad. This should only be an issue when running the application the first time.
4. Not enough memory
This program needs up to 300 Kb of free memory on the C drive. If you try to run the program with less than 300 Kb of free memory on the C drive it may not behave as expected.
