| Posted: | | | | I am sorry if this has already been covered. I have tried the search and it keeps timing out on me so I figured I would go ahead and post the problem.
I am using the most recent version of DVD Profiler and I am trying to copy a cover scan so I can paste the identical scan on another child profile. I am doing this by right clicking inside the cover scan field, and selecting Copy. When I do this it seems to allow me to copy the cover scan but when I right click and select Paste in the cover scan field it will give me the error, "Not enough storage is available to process this command". I have checked and have plenty of storage left on all three of my drives and have over 2 GB free of memory.
I know I could just re-crop the original scan in each child profile, but this can be time consuming. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. |

| Posted: | | | | What size of the images are we talking about here?
The images are stored in a sub-folder of the database, usually (if not explicitly changed) under <My Documents>\DVD Profiler\Databases\Default\Images.
Make sure that the drive that contains the My Documents folder has enough space.
Have you tried using CTRL-C for copy and CTRL-V for paste? | | | Karsten DVD Collectors Online

| Posted: | | | | Thank you for your assistance DJ, I had also tried CTRL-C and CRTL-V, as well as using the Copy and Paste commands from the toolbar. The drive that has the DVD Profiler database folders on it has enough space at approx. 36 GB free.
The files are 600 dpi scans, each scan is approx. 11 MB and are scanned at 3952x3984 before cropping (what can I say I am a sucker for high-quality scans). I know these are RATHER LARGE files, but I wan't aware of any limitations that DVD Profiler had for copying to the clipboard. Thanks again for the assistance. | | | Last edited: by PhQTwo |

| Posted: | | | | If it still doesn't work, do the following:
Select the parent profile. Choose DVD->Change UPC. Copy the EAN/UPC.
Now edit the child profile. Go to the edit cover page. Choose File->Open. Go to your images folder (as described above) and look for the file <EAN/UPC>.<X>f.jpg* and select it.
*X stands for the locality. If it's an US profile there is no number, for UK it's .4 for Germany .5 | | | Karsten DVD Collectors Online

| Posted: | | | | Thanks again for that workaround DJ. Man...I just wish it could be easier than that, just to be able to use the copy and paste functions. |

| Posted: | | | | Does it work in other applications? I suppose it's the Windows standard clipboard that is used, not some DVD Profiler special, or am I wrong? | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| Posted: | | | | Yes, I can copy and paste the picture within the Windows environment, in different programs such as Word, Wordpad, OpenOffice, etc. So maybe it is a limitation within DVD Profiler? | | | Last edited: by PhQTwo |

| Posted: | | | | I've never had any problems copying and pasting images (no matter what the size..
One thing you could try is to ctrl C - the original image - ctrl v into a separate image editing program ctrrl c from image program and then paste (ctrl v) into destination profile
- 'm at work so don't have access to the program so I can see if the above is neccessary when I copy images (and I can't remember for sure since it's been ages) - but the above should work ok.
I use a free program called irfanview btw | | | Paul |

| Posted: | | | | I also am at work, but there are filesize limitations on FAT32 and NTFS partitions. NTFS is large enough that I doubt that is the problem, but if your drives are FAT32 then you have a limitation of 4GB on any single file. Check the sizes of your database files. 600dpi images can add up quickly. 300dpi is the size used in the printing industry for hi-resolution output, beyond that is just fluff. FYI - if you had a 5 x 7 image that was 12MB at 600dpi and reduced it to 5 x 7 at 300dpi, it would be 1/4 the size it was (3MB). MWR | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |
