hi.

it would be nice to implement these features into ant movie manager:
1. checkbox "seen movie" - just simple flag to mark wheter movie was seen or not
2. add categorizing by actors - for example i'd like to see which movies bruce willis played in
3. change categorizing by languages - for example there are movies with multiple laguages (say "English, French, Spanish") - it should be categorized/included in three categories "English", "French" and "Spanish". Currently it is categorized in one category only "English, French, Spanish". That is not very transparent.

You could use the search function as a simple workaround for the second / third suggestion.

Just open the "Find" function (Ctrl+F) and stick it to the top or bottom of the window (where it does not disturb you). Now search for "Bruce Willis" and make sure that you have set the checkbox "Display results", then you will get a complete listing instead of the first film only. Same for "English" or "French" if there are more languages listed.

Yeah I know about the Search possibilities. But this is not as elegant solution as the one in my suggestion, isn't it?

1. There is the checkbox in the movie list for that (if you do not have checkboxes there, you have to enable them in the Preferences window)
2 & 3. As said by bad4u, it could be done using search. Some day I have to improve handling of multi-value lists, I just do not know when it will be done
