Hi
i love this amazing program but there are some issues

1- in the app , in the movie details , there are no fields for Keywords and no option in the script to fetch them. Is there a way to that?

2- can this app be used for series? if yes, How? and what script to use?

3- after importing the movies, getting their info from imdb ..How to play the video from inside the app [is there a play button]??

4- after Grouping Movies by Actors, the names are in alphabetical order, how to change it into number of movies they are in.

1. you may use any unused field for that (e.g. media label), and use the search function then (e.g. with the "display results" option, to filter movie list).
2. not really made for that, but a few script exist for series I think; not sure it is very practical for managing these, having one movie entry per series may be enough if you just wish to have a list of series that you have. For episode details a site dedicated to series management may be better suited.
3. on the right of the "file path" & "url" fields there is a button allowing to open field contents (double click in the field should also work).
4. not possible (except if soulsnake added something hidden somewhere for that)

Hi,

4. not possible (except if soulsnake added something hidden somewhere for that)

Actually it is possible

.
There is an option for that in Preferences > Grouping > Sort groups by group count

Thank you for your replies

1. the thing is, there are no way - that i'm aware of- to fetch the keywords
let alone make it go under media label

Would you something like the Categories? If so using a custom field of type List I suppose it would somewhat work, but it is still not a perfect system as it is just a try of improvement made on an old basic structure from the early versions of the software.

Hi,

Just store the keywords in a new custom field of type string or list with "Multiple values" property checked.
Use separator set ("," by default) to separe your keywords.
Now, when you group on this custom field, you will see each keyword as a group in movie list.
