1. planned for a future version, but I have to change the list component first, so not easy to do

2. same for customizable columns

3. there is an option to select if you want all items open by default or not. Shortcut keys [ctrl][+] and [ctrl][-] open/close all groups

rc4 released.
This time I'll contact translator to get the translations updated. While I wait for that, I'll start to update the help file.
It would be nice if people could help me by continuing to convert scripts to version 3.5 ;)

what's new in rc4:
- translation problems for search toolbar
- in statistics the "movie to include -> visible" option was not active when clicking on it
- year field did not accept values 1 or 0 (not useful for movie but some people use the program to catalog other things...)
- by default the option to group values alone in a group is disabled by default (too much mails from people that did not understood why the movies are not sorted like before :D)
- results window displays size of old and new picture

1. the links are in the first post

2. here it is:

Code: Select all

program NewScript;
begin
  SetField(fieldOriginalTitle, GetField(fieldDirector) + ' / ' + GetField(fieldProducer));
end.
3. Copy English.lng to AudioEnglish.lng for example, open it with Notepad and modify it.
You'll have to have two copies of AMC if you want to use it for both movies and audio. I'll add an option to allow to specify which config file to use with a parameter so it will allow to have simply two shortcuts rather than duplicating AMC's folder.

1. If mediainfo supports it, yes, I just have to include mp3 as recognized extensions
2. yes, mpeg1 and 2 works
3. I should add scripted export or at least more options, but I do not know yet when I'll do that. Anyway export will be improved, that's planned for a future version.

Not a bug...

I found that in this release rc5 the "group by" function leave the groups expanded resulting in a useless feature. I loved the previous behavior of the 3.4.3 version.
Thanks for your excellent work.

Siberia
In Preferences -> Movie List -> Grouping uncheck 'Full expand by default' and you will have behavior like in 3.4.3. Also new shotrcuts were added. Ctrl + Num+ expands all groups and Ctrl + Num- does the opposite thing.

The picture window is probably hidden, try to go in Movie -> Picture -> Show.
If the picture window does not come back, open prefs.xml with notepad and search for ToolbarPictureWindow and delete the line that contains it.

RE : Picture window

Post by permenition »

Nope. I see picture window, but it don't show a preview of image. When i click on image (that is not visible) than he opens the picture and i see it (in big window), but still not in small preview.

that's really strange...
it does that with all images ?
what version of window do you use ?
do you use a skinning engine like WindowBlinds to change the appearance of window ?
what toolbar style options did you select in the preferences ?
