I recntly switched from Windows to Arch so I needed a replacement for Collectorz Music and found this.
Looks pretty good, but I would like to be able to import my export from Collectorz.
It worked for only the basic information.
Is it possible to have the albums updated with data from Discogs (I have an api-key) based on the barcode?

What kind of import did you do, with a CSV file? Or XML? I improved the XML import for the next release of Tellico. If you download the collectorz2tellico.xsl file from https://invent.kde.org/office/tellico/-/raw/master/xslt/collectorz2tellico.xsl, you could "Import XSL Transform..." with your current version. That might help you.

Tellico doesn't support barcode searches at the moment. I can check into adding that.

Awesome, that looks a lot better...
Any tips how I can 'automatically' can get the cover images in it too?

That would be great

How can I alter the xsl so I can import other values as well.
I.e.

Code: Select all

  <length>53:43</length>
  <lengthsecs>3223</lengthsecs>
  <nrtracks>12</nrtracks>

Tellico 3.4 will try to take care of the image import, too. With a basic XSL import, it's tougher and more dependent on the file structure. Where are the images stored relative to the imported file?

If you want to email me your Collectorz XML file directly, I can see about modifying the XSL to account for any missing info. I only had one example file to go from, so more insight in that regard would be appreciated. robby at periapsis.org

Unfortunately the images don't get exported with the xml, so they must be manually copied.
Maybe copying them manually to the same folder as the export (or a subfolder 'images' of the export-folder) would be easier?

The xml is on its way...
Thanks!

Tellico 3.4 will do a barcode search on Discogs for updates if there is a field named barcode.

It's been a while since I had time to tinker with my database some more...
Searching on barcode works fine, but is it possible to save the barcode along with the other data from Discogs?

That's fast

I think I'll have version 3.4 ready in February.

Looking forward to it

Copied the cover-files from a backup to the files-directory (which is in the same directory as the tellico-file.
when I remove the entire path of the cover-files from the collectorz-export-file (and leave only the filename) and import it using the xlst the images are not shown.

How can I fix that?
Does the xlst needs to be changed?

Try replacing tc:coverstring by tc:cover in two places
