How to store more Medias in Media Set?

Hi,

I need more medias than the Media Set contains:
8 pages of 16 medias = 128 medias

I know that it is already a good quantity but I need more for one of my projects.

Is there a way to manage that?

Thanks
PAul

. to get around this in the past, i wrote a module that would load in new clips into a bank i wasn't using.

Not sure to fully understand what you said...

Is your module in the Modules Online Library?
(I didn't see it)

it's the "media set load" module

Thanks.

But unfortunately, I get runtime errors on lines 3 and 24

Do I have to modify something?

the first error is self explanatory - set not defined
I don't know about the other one but the module works fine, I use it all the time

Second error looks like it has something to do with a filename. I've had issues with "foreign characters" in Modul8 before. When dealing with computers, it's always a good idea to only use a-z,0-9,.-_ (no spaces) for filenames to be sure they will work in all programs on all platforms.

The second error is about encoding:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0301' in

Perhaps this Module has been written for a non accented language, English.
For French Mac OS it must be modified...
But how?

I don't speak Python yet...

We haven't had encoding problems with French made modules before, as far as I know. I still think you should look over the filenames in the files you are working with.

Fry_up, we are almost speaking of the same thing!

YES the problem is with the files name (some contain French accented characters).
There is no problem with Modul8 Media Set (as developers are speaking French they beware of that I think!), but it bugs in Media Set Load.

It's why I was wondering what modification in the code we'll have to do to make this module compatible with accented characters.
(I have already 100 medias ordered in my Media Set: hard work to reimport renamed files and reorder them all)

anomad is there an easy way to make your Module supporting accented characters in files names?

A line of code to add in init() or MessageEvent()?
I tried some but as I don't speak Python, I got no success...
:roll:

. sorry for the confusion, but that's not my module in the public library :)

. the one i wrote is fairly messy - i wouldn't want anyone else to have to deal w/its 'issues' sometimes.
