I have a 400 disk Sony DVD Jukebox and was wondering if there was a tool to simplify the page creation process.

With an older version of the Pronto I believe there was a utility called Super Nude List?? but I didn't see anything for the tsu9600.

Thanks!

There is not one to my knowledge. I'm still doing things the old fashion way. (Screenshots of my DVD Juke activity for the TSU9600 can be seen here.) The only real hassle for me was getting my initial configuration file done. Adding DVD covers from that point forward as I purchase new DVD's has not been a big deal at all. I really enjoy the process actually. That's not to say I wouldn't consider an automated approach if one were available, so long as I didn't lose the current functionality I enjoy with my own DVD management solution.

The one thing I've been able to do with my TSU9600 version of DVD Juke is use "Snap to Grid". This makes jogging DVD covers down for a given letter a breeze. Here's the breakdown. (Click here for a visual. Keep in mind that I don't normally have "Draw Grid Above Item" selected. That option is just enabled for purposes of the screenshot.) My DVD covers are 160x230. That's two rows of 4 at 8 per page starting at coordinates 0,0. This leaves the exact amount of space required at the bottom of each page for the firm key labels. Better yet, by enabling "Snap to Grid" with Columns set to 15 and Rows set to 43 I'm able to snap each DVD cover to grid for perfect placement. Well each DVD cover in the top row snaps to grid precisely where it belongs. Each DVD cover in the bottom row snaps to grid one pixel too low requiring that I tap the up arrow on my keyboard one time. Hardly a big deal.
