HTML-view is on my to-do list, but would it work with Wine ? If I add that it will use IE's ActiveX (maybe Gecko's ActiveX as an option)

ActiveX could be a problem (normaly it is :ha: ) - is it really needed for a html-view

however, we will see if its working or not - I'll try it when it's available

ActiveX is the easiest solution since nearly all recent Windows have at least IE 5 (and those that have NT4 can still install Mozilla).
I could also embed the whole Gecko engine, but that would be quite heavy for a so small program, and it would maybe not work better in Wine.
Another solution would be to use another HTML engine. There is one written in Delphi, but the free version is quite limited :/ IE (and Gecko even more) support lots of CSS properties and Javascript to make nice templates to show movie info.

Wine 20050211. What's yours?

I've found more gui problems :( Some gui areas, like export window toolbar, are not accesible. Wine draws it correctly, but nothing happens when I click it.
