Hi again!

I intend to use DVD Profiler on a machine that has only a slow dial up connection. If I remember correctly the program downloads a big ammount of data upon first start (EAN codes among other things I guess?).

Is there a way to export that data from my other machine so I could do most of the work offline?

The "export"- function seems to only save my collection if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks in advance!

Martin

I believe there are two files with the extension .dod. You could try copying these over and see if that's enough. Not sure right now if other files will be required too.

ya_shin is correct. You can copy over some .dod files: OnlineList.dod and OnlineListSel.dod. You might also want to copy over localities.dod

Have DVDP closed when you copy the files.  You may still get a download dialog when you click on the add dvd button but if that works, you'll only be dealing with a small amount of data.

I use a modem, dial-up line. About 8,500 profiles, and have no problem.
I keep logged on to the internet at all times, except when I want to use the phone,
it's my phone line, I pay for it, not some carpet cleaning sales person.
Thus I am assured that I am not not bothered by campaign and other unsolicited phone calls.
The phone is the most ill-mannered device conceived by man. 
Those I care to communicated with know my email address.
