Hi,
I'm a new member and just trying out everything - so far I like it very much - thanks for this great site.
There is just one thing I couldn't find: I'd like to export a list of my books, DVDs etc, including the barcode-digits from the back of the book or DVD. With books, this works fine, the ISBN number is exported (excel or tab export). However, for DVDs, the ISBN field is empty. I can see that the number I'm looking for is saved as EAN or ASIN - but that's not in the export.
Is there any way to change what fields are exported?
Thanks in advance,
Judith

I'm afraid the answer is no. You could copy the number to Comments or Private Comments, but that is a bit silly as it's already in the EAN field.
If you are a wizard with excel I guess you can easily find the entries with Media: DVD and not EAN: in the Comments. You could then combine the Book_IDs with the word OR and enter that in the search box on LT, something like:
132404073 OR 133236739 OR 136157198 OR 137937842
You could then choose a style where EAN and Comments are visible and put text like "EAN: 928374982398" into the Comments field.
That's what I do to make sure I've registered the translator for all translated books in my library.
So for a modest number of DVD this is not so bad to do, but it would be nice to have the EAN included in the export formats.
