Just reposting this in in the mid section to see if anyone can help.


Just came across an old website/blog with an ANT Movie Cat screen grab.

Anybody? Any input at all would be welcome.

I think this can be achieved by changing or adding code to the Language Translation files.
Has any one done this or can any one tell me what sections in the file to alter?

It would be great as a theme as it really modernises the interface.

I really like grey contrast in the image. is there a way to do this because I have been trying for a while now and cant seem to get this colour scheme ...

In Tools -> Manage Pictures you have various options for handling pictures.
For this case I'm not sure it will really help much as all are already stored locally; it is just two different "local" link styles.
Maybe you could try to save your catalog to XML format, and then using search/replace in ...

I have moved computers and have made a little mess of my catalogue. I have a folder called "Movie Collection" inside this I have my Catalogue files.
I have the My Movie Collection.amc file (The Main File) and then a folder called My Movie Collection.amc_pics (The coverart pics)

The problem is the ...

It is not a good idea to store files in program files: by default since Vista programs don't have write permission there, so windows actually redirect files to the virtual store folder, to make the program believe it could write its files.
If you didn't had that problem in Vista/7 it means you ...

I have an issue since moving to win10. Im not sure but Im posting in bug report incase this a bug.

I Have saved my catalog file C:\Program Files (x86)\Ant Movie Catalog\Catalogs\MyMovies1.

The issue is when I use win10 file explorer and go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Ant Movie Catalog\Catalogs ...

As I said, I haven't much checked how to do that.
Maybe try this:

I suppose this happens when the text size is set to more than 100% in win10.
There may be some way to specify how the application should be scaled, I haven't much checked that yet.


Thanks for replying. Yes i have to set my win10 scale to 150 as anything lower makes all look very small on my 24 ...

can the font be changed or is this an issue with the dpi settings?

I just got a new win10 PC with a 24 inch HD monitor over the Xmas period. I have been using AMC for a very very long time and love it but when i use it on my new PC the text inside the programme (Movie titles, Labels ect) Look very blurred and hard to read compared to y win 7 PC. Other programmes ...

Just an update here that may be of some help to others. I decided to go with a size of 600 x 470 as suggested by user sts85 and its working great, Images quality vs image size is balanced well and its seems to be working great on the amc pocket reader app as well. I have also took antp's advice and ...

I'm looking for something like this myself. and one for DVD cover arts would be great as well.

Also the script would have to be have an option to be able to select the region so its retrieves the correct cover art for that release.

hi

is there a script that will just grab the blu-ray or DVD cover artwork?

Thanks

@antp

thanks for the reply.
So I think what you are saying is if I am going to use large images then its best to link them into the catalog rather than stoing them in like I have been doing in one large .amc file.

I will test around with a few different sizes to see. I usually used 200 x 317 but ...

@J
What size are your images that you use and another thing do they good quality (text readable) on both the desktop and in the Android amc reader app?

Thanks

so you have a very large collection is is best to use the link picture option to create the subfolder with the images and keep just the text in the .amc file?

also I plan to add 2 pictures, one being the main front cover and the other as an xtra which will be the rear cover art. I plan to ...

Thanks antp.
Originally i had all my my movies images in the catalog, but I am looking to add the rear cover as well (most likely will have to add them manually) so I make a folder just for the cover art and link them to the catalog does that mean that the folder size is not an issue at all and it ...

Just released I posted this in the "Ant Renamer" section Instead of the "Antmoviecat" section. so I have copied replies over.

Sorry been a long night :??:


Antp:
And so the reply I made grin :
If you already have the pics stored elsewhere, the best is to link the pic to AMC rather than storing ...
