Don't know if it has been asked before, but would it be possible to sort on more then 1 option?

eg. What if i want to find all movies with a rating higher then 7 and are in the Sci-fi genre ?
So the result would be all movies with sci-fi and a rating higher then 7, or all sci-fi movies from eg. 2011 ?

For that you can use search to filter only Sci-fi genre and then sort resulted movies by rating.
An other way is to group movies by genre and sort movies by rating.
You will just have to see movies in Sci-fi group.
It could be great to add more search options but I think for now it is enough for most users.
I keep this idea for a futur next version

.
Thanks!

If you have a bug report or other suggestion it is time to do it .
You can seen new features for version 4.1.0 on first post (first page).

Hi soulsnake,
I have started dealing with the new format in MyFilms/AMCUpdater - but still have some difficulties due to the fact I am using the MSdataset classes.
No problem populating with AMCUpdater (using manual XML creation classes) - and loading in AMC4 also works fine, but I'd like to push all data into a msdataset virtual table (in MyFilms plugin), as those are cached at runtime and better match current implementation.

Hey soulsnake!

I love your enhanced version! I have a problem though. I need an XML export in UTF-8 encoding.

Could you perhaps add an option to allow this? Or is there a way I can already do this?

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Sandrius · Post by **Sandrius** » 2011-11-07 13:02:48

Maybe possible to specify in preferences what show in all windows (main, statistics....) Disks or Files

p.s. why right side color white?

maybe possible to add option to automatic stretch list if i select thumbnails or grid view?

maybe possible to specify subfolder to store pictures?

To Guzzi: I understand but what do you suggest to change in current format to push all data into a msdataset virtual table easier ?

To Sandrius: I will add unit size (it depends of preferences) but for scroll, maybe in future next version.
-- "why right side color white?"
It is better on Windows XP and more but for you it is not really good. Ok I will add an option to choose background color of movie info

.
-- "maybe possible to add option to automatic stretch list if i select thumbnails or grid view?"
Ok I will add this 2 options (autostrech in grid view, autostretch in thumbsnails view).

-- "maybe possible to specify subfolder to store pictures?"
Maybe in future next version. I have to change many thinks...

To Rourke: For the moment I can't export in UTF-8 but maybe I will add this feature in future next version. I think you can find tools to convert ISO from UTF-8

.

Soulsnake.

Soulsnake.

Well, my problem is not the format itself - it is that being "dynamic".
I used strongly typed datasets in the past to access XML data in memory cached datasets - but they need to be defined in advance.
I might have to spend some more time about it and see, if I can find a good way to handle it. Using the extended fields not strongly typed might work, but I have to try it ... otherwise I would have to rewrite all data access classes, which would be far beyond what I want to do ;-)

Hi Soulsnake!

I also have a suggestion.
In Listview, before the title of the movie, you could display an icon which indicates whether or not there's an image assigned to the movie.
If there's no image assigned to the movie, then it'd be an empty icon; if there is, then it'd be an image depending on the Source or the mediatype (DVD, AVI, TV).
I added these icons to the icons of the Toolbar.

Actually, I already add color tag that you can set like you want.
It is not picture but the goal is the same

I add it in menu and toolbar with shortcut to open url/file (CTRL+M) and open folder (CTRL+SHIFT+M) of selected movie

Woderful implementation!

I apologize if there is and I've not seen: can we save our catalog in .xml and put images in a folder different than the catalog's one?

Thanks.

hello,

ca pourrai être pratique de pouvoir supprimer un champ de base AMC pour le remplacé par un champ personnalisé .

je m'explique les champs personnalisé sur un deuxième onglet c'est bien mais dans la pratique on click très peu sur le deuxième onglet , et les champs de base ne sont pas tous utilisé en général (que celui qui se sert du champ label de support ,comme il se doit me jette un caillou

).

dans l'idéal l'interface des champs prédéfinis et personnalisé modulable a souhait seras un must (taille,emplacement,...)

Hi,
is it possible to specify 2 separators? Half of my data separated by commas, half by slashes.

Yes I understand but I don't want to change all this now.
Maybe I will merge movie fields and custom fields in a next futur version

.

I add the posibility to choose a unique separator and others options for each custom field but not for movie fields for now.

Wouldn't it be better to rather use only one separator in your catalog?

Tout d'abord merci pour cette nouvelle version non officielle de ce logiciel que j'utilise aujourd'hui depuis 2000.
J'ai hâte d'avoir la fonction import de fichiers d'un répertoire inclu au logiciel.

J'ai une astuce à faire partager:
- pour changer un champ:
Par exemple pour changer le champ "emprunté par :" il suffit d'aller dans le repertoire du logiciel\langage\ et d'éditer avec un simple notepad le fichier "french.lng" vous recherchez la valeur "emprunté par :" et vous la remplacer par "Pochette :" par exemple.

Bonne continuation.
