Something I have a quandry about. I live with a girlfriend and as is the case with two people we have different likes and dislikes, however our anime list is exactly the same.
What I'm thinking is for shared systems (or even people who keep lists off site) either a way to syncronize two people's anime lists (taking every episode from both lists and removing the duplicates) or a ways to import an exportable format. I see a way to import Ed2k links and I see ways to export in HTML but I don't see a way to export and import the same format.
Sorry if I'm asking for something already asked for, I looked through the lists and didn't see anything like this.
P.S. I did however see a marking for anime seen on TV or movies. I'd like to meantion that DVD is technically a file but you don't have a way to mark it. I understand why not, just meantioning if I had two wishes that would be second, right after a really cool car.
import lists. [OLD REQ]

Re: import lists.
Such a sync-feature would fit the planned Buddy/friend list. In fact, Rar requested something similar there:
... but that would of course still require syncing the lists manually from time to time.Rar wrote:-A fast way of adding files to mylist, based on what a friend has. I do a fair bit of trading, and rehashing the same files or clicking on every one is annoying.
Generic files do have a "on dvd"-option. I suppose the problem is rather that the episodes you want to add to your list don't have generic files (yet), right? ^^;kinglink wrote:P.S.

I will say I'm impressed with the AOM alpha.
As for the import function this would be a little different. This could either be a symbolic link (Where both people have the same DB for files and location and a different one for watched) Or a quick click to say "give me everything that this person has" I have a hell of a lot of anime and I've chosen the correct group, I don't want my girlfriend to have to do the same thing and then have to select the correct one every time I get a box set of something.. That's what I 'm thinking, Doing Kenshin or Slayers alone is very annoying.
