Before you actual link the fields you need to select the source data file

Always check the entire list looking for hidden or new fields

Pressing the 'Cancel' button exits without importing any data

Notes

The import will read the entire file in chunks,
if you get out of memory errors you may need to use smaller files
email me if you need help

Select the type of the source

Imports data from a file, you will be prompted to find a file;

either from a list of files in the '/dvdshelf/exports' folder on the SD card or from a file explorer of your phone:

If you have a file explorer installed that isn't being detected,
enable 'Use any File Manager App' in the Settings Screen

Import one of the files previously saved in the exports/imports folders

Type in the full path to the file

Only available if there is data on the clipboard

It is required to be in the same format as data saved to the clipboard

You need to check the box to import images
Press the button, or the text to select the location of the source images,
(currently you will need a file explorer installed to select a different folder)
note you actually select one on of the image files in the folder with the images to import.

Images will be copied from the selected folder to the main images folder
for this reason it is best not to use the main images folder as the source location (even though the export will handle it)

The export needs to contain an column named "_id_" to link the data to an image file
all text based shelf exports from version 2.4 upwards have this column, xml exports have always had this column

Duplicate entries are detected on the barcode,
they are then not imported.
Ticking this option will allow duplicate barcodes to imported

The name of each field from the file is displayed as a section heading

Decide if the field is being imported at all

You can select which app field the data will go into

The app tries to automatically match data fields with app fields, based on various similarities

(XML data will always match the in-built fields correctly)

Press the field button to select a different field:

You can choose to import to a New Field using the center button

Fields that are currently hidden are indicated as [ field ]

If you import two data fields into one app field, the second data field will overwrite the first

If you don't import a shelf field, then the current shelf will be used

You can still import data into hidden fields, indicated as [ field ]

When Importing into a new field, a new custom field will be created for you

the name and type will be defined automatically, it is usually the list type

You will usually find it better to add the custom field before importing

The import progress will be displayed
The import screen will close when sucessfully finished

If the import fails, you can try again via the import button
