Import & tools
From your Criterion.com collection
- Once: drag Send to The Stacks to your bookmarks bar.
- Open your collection on criterion.com (a link like criterion.com/collection/11139) and click that bookmark. It reads your collection and the films inside each Collector's Set (one page at a time, so give it a minute), then shows Copy for The Stacks.
- Paste it in the box below. Titles come in with Criterion's cover art, director, disc format and date added; sets come in with their films, or fill the Boxed Sets you already have. Year, runtime, cast and spine numbers are looked up afterwards.
No bookmark? Copy the collection page (Cmd+A, Cmd+C) and paste it here, or save it as Webpage, HTML Only and drop the file in the TinyCat box. Sets then come in without their films.
From TinyCat / LibraryThing
- TinyCat keeps its catalog in LibraryThing. Sign in at librarything.com with your TinyCat account.
- Open More → Import/Export → Export (librarything.com/export.php) and download the CSV, tab-delimited or JSON file.
- Drop that file here. Books with an ISBN get their Open Library cover automatically.
Choose your export file
.csv, .tsv, .txt, .json or a saved .html page
Fill in missing covers & details
Looks up every title without a cover: books on Open Library, movies on TMDB (needs a TMDB key in config.js). Existing details are kept.
Back up
Tidy up names
Finds actors, directors and authors written differently across titles (capitals, accents, initials, “Last, First”) so you can merge them into one spelling.
Auto-crop covers
Trims white margins, plastic case edges and Blu-ray or 4K banners from case photos (such as TinyCat's Amazon images) on titles you haven't cropped. Covers without a clear border are left alone; re-crop any title by hand.
Review scores
IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores come from OMDb. Find covers and details adds them to movies and shows that don't have them; this refreshes every one (about one lookup per title, from OMDb's 1,000 a day).
