and one more update for Serbian translation!

link is same: http://www.zoniweb.com/amc/Serbian.lng

It would be cool if the various dialogs sizes could be memorized between subsequent calls/sessions. Namely where enlarging the scripts windows to show all text (ie. to avoid scrollbars).
Moreover, managing an history when browsing movies could be useful; plus add the "standard" IE shortcuts: previous=Alt+LeftArrow/next=Alt+RightArrow.
Justs thoughts but thanks in advance if this can be added.

All window sizes should be kept. Which ones are not?

I'll keep the idea of viewed movies history

Example:
- add a movie
- start a script (eg. Allocine FR)
- search for a movie (eg. Matrix)
- a list is proposed: enlarge the dialog (A), then select one
- the result dialog is displayed, validate

In this sequence, the dialog (A) does no remember its size on subsequent calls.

So you mean the list with the treeview displayed in the scripts?
I did not think it was useful to keep its size actually, since it can be used for various things.
Anyway, I'll add that, since all other window remember their size it would be more logical that this one does the same.

Yeah but some scripts returns very long strings like "movie / edition / editor " and it's annoying to enlarge it each time.
Thanks for the reply and sorry for the double post...

is it possible to make a checkbox like for the bar buttons but for the fields of the film? there are some i never use and would be nice if i can put them out of sight (perfect thing would be to rearrange the one i want to see too, in thisway i can remove thing i don't want on the right part so i can free space for the cover and have the list of movies as long as all the left part of the screen)

I'll maybe do that later (e.g. in a version 4.1 or 4.2), but it is not sure since it is really not so easy to manage.

Hi, first of all congratulations for this great program.

And now to the work:

1- Bug: When I display all the films in the grid mod and I try to sort them by rating, it doesn't work correctly. However, if I go to tools>group by>rating, it is correct, although films with same rating are put together. If I sort by title or country, it sorts alphabetically, exactly the way it shoud.

2- Request: When executing a script, if there are some fields that I never want and I want them unchecked by default, is there any way to do it?? I've tried unchecking the fields I do not want, but every time I import a new film all the fields are checked again.

Thanks.

1. Probably because the field was declared as "Integer" in the grid properties, but now with the decimal part it cannot handle it as Integer; I'll fix that.

2. In the list at the bottom right corner of the script window you can uncheck the fields that the script cannot modify. These fields should be remembered for each script (saved when executing the script, so if you uncheck fields and then select another script without running the first one, these unselected fields are not remembered)

Thank you very much for the answers.

- all scripts converted
- all translations updated
- only two bugs remaining that I have to correct (+ one in win9x that will be corrected later)
well, I hope that I'll be able to release the final 3.5 version tomorrow
For those that are using the RC8 it won't change very much, since there are only few minor corrections since this version

I'll now upload the 3.5 final.
So it is the end of this topic.
For new bugs, please post them to the "Bugs" section of the forum.
If you want to make comments you can do tham on this section.
Here is the list of bug fixes since rc8:
- main window: movie info not saved when switching to grid mode (not the first time I fix this, I hope that it works now
- Rating field was used as an integer in grid mode and group mode, so not sorted properly
- csv import: removed formatted title from the list, corrected a bug with pictures import
- script: remembers size of picktree and picklist windows
- script: crash when going to editor -> properties -> cancel -> back to scripts -> displaying tooltips on options list
- script: save as was clearing the editor after the save

i had film from files but i want the title to be put in the

"translated title" field and not in the original one as i have titles of movies in italian, would be useful a function that deletes automaticcally part of the filenames i chose e.x. 1°t [DIVX] ecc, this string can be written in a field like the one for the sorting without articles in front of movie title (the, A , ecc)

For the filename as translated title, I'll add an option, but I could not do it for version 3.5 since lots of language files were already updated when someone suggested it.

To clean titles, you can use the "Update all fields" script.

Would it be possible to store a second url ?

I would like to grab the imdb link, , but also that it stores the moviemeter.nl link when getting the dutch description, so when i export the list to html, i have 2 links to choose from ? That would be great.

I'll add fields in version 4.0. Before that I'll release a version 3.5.1 or 3.6 that improves import and maybe export. But since I do not work very much on the program for the moment I really do not know when I'll do that, sorry

When do you think to release a new version of movie catalog ?

I do not know
