Many thanks Scott...works well.

i guess the simplest way is to create a batch file that will do the reqd transforms.

i wonder if there is a way to do this from the lauch app portion of MCXML export ?

If I wanted to change where the 'Gold', 'Silver', and 'Bronze' divisions fall would I change this section of PresentAlbumRatings.xsl

Just curious what would your divisions look like....wickesy ?

Yep, that is working how I want it now.  That will keep me eating for tonight but I might need another fishing lesson at some point

If you're referring to creating saved HTML, then yes, you can easily create a batch file to do it.  You can even use the "append output filename" with a batch file and then access it as a parameter (%1).  Combined with MSXSL.EXE in the same directory, you'll still have "one-click" creation.

Call a batch file like:

Code: [Select]

msxsl.exe %1 PresentAlbumRatings.xsl -o AlbumRatings.html
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" AlbumRatings.htmlThis won't work because iexpore doesn't seem to like with the relative path.  Maybe I've overlooking something silly, but if not, maybe you can write us a batch file that will get the current directory and create an absolute reference.

Not how I thought they would when I asked the question.  I found originally that there were too many albums in the Gold section so I changed it to only those with an album rating of 5.  Of course now I don't have any in the Gold section    I need to do some playing around but I think the Gold section will be from around 4.1 upwards, Silver as the main section starting at around 3.5 and Bronze anything underneath.

ok here's how i did it with batch files.

1 - copy msxsl.exe to c:\windows\system32 dir this allows it to be called from a batch file.

2 - Modify the foll. lines in AlbumRatings.config.xml to what is shown below

<ApplyXSLTransformation checked="false">AlbumRatings\AlbumRatings.xsl</ApplyXSLTransformation>

and

<LaunchOutput checked="true" action="usespecifiedapp" appendoutputfilename="false">"C:\Program Files\Scott Raynel Software\MC XML Export\AlbumRatings\AlbumRatings.bat"</LaunchOutput>

3 - create a batch file that lives in the AlbumRatings dir.

set p=C:\Program Files\Scott Raynel Software\MC XML Export\AlbumRatings\
msxsl.exe "%p%AlbumRatingsMPL.xml" "%p%AlbumRatings.xsl" -o "%p%AlbumRatingsData.xml"
msxsl.exe "%p%AlbumRatingsData.xml" "%p%PresentAlbumRatings.xsl" -o "%p%AlbumRatings.html"
"c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" "%p%AlbumRatings.html"

i tried the above for Nolo's preset as well as XAlbum. Its possible to use the faster msxsl utility ( in my case) than what is native with the plugin.

The AlbumRating HTML version is now on the website http://pages.sbcglobal.net/scottraymond/Presets.htm.  If anyone wants to go the batch file route (in order to save the resultant HTML or perhaps get better performance), follow hit_hy's directions above, or let me know and I'll package it.
