    Alignment Overrides

    I have a movie folder that is full of MPG and JPG files. It's set up kind of like this:

    \movies
    \movies\kids
    \movies\scifi
    \movies\seen

    Each movie has a JPG with the same file name, which is picked up by my media player.

    Here is my question: I was trying to get BC3 to show me if I have a matching JPG for each MPG, but it appears the only way to do it is setting two alignment overrides. (JPG=MPG and MPG=JPG) Is there any way to filter out MPG on one side and JPG on the other?

    Okay, scratch that. Setting up alignment overrides to work both ways does not really work. The folder structure looks a bit like this:

    movie1(R).jpg
    movie1(R).mpg
    movie2(PG13).jpg
    movie2(PG13).jpg
    etc...

    If all the movies were in one folder, I could simply move all the jpg's to a new folder and compare the two folders using the alignment override. My thought was to set the override mpg(left)=jpg(right) and then set a filter as -*.jpg(left); -*.mpg(right). Filters are not set per side though.

    Setting a double alignment override and comparing the folder to itself almost works. It brings up all the "=" items just fine. The missing ones or mismatch named ones usually do not show, regardless of "Full Refresh".

    There does not seem to be a way to do this compare with BC3.

      If it's just a comparison, and you don't need to interact with the files too much, you can do this with snapshots. Set the file filters to *.jpg then use Tools->Save Snapshot to save a snapshot of the directory, with "Include excluded by file filters" unchecked. Then change the filters to *.mpg, save a second snapshot, then compare then two snapshots and use a single *.jpg=*.mpg alignment override.
