AMC 3.5.1 - "official" version released

Post by **antp** » 2007-08-25 20:37:40

Oops there was a bug indeed.
The file was probably just renamed to .bak actually.
But it is a big bug

That's one of the reasons why I say that you have to backup the catalog before testing these versions.
I'll update the file right now.

Good that I DID made a copy before testing

This version is working fine now.....

This discussion is getting hard to follow. Which file is being renamed? and in which version is this problem fixed? If it has been fixed.
Why aren't new updates to the program posted under news instead of mods. I think that would make more sense, yes?

These update are "under development". As said just above, there may be big bugs as they are not much tested.
When that version will be considered as finished (within 1 week probably) it will be posted in the "news" section and will replace the 3.5.0 on the site.
Usually these versions are recommended to "advanced" users only, that's why it does not include installation file and so on. But due to Windows Vista I had to suggest to many people to use it anyway

The version that had the bug is the one posted yesterday, and it was replaced in the evening, so if you download now the 3.5.1 rc3 the bug is fixed.

There's a new version (3.0.0 beta) of UPDATE_SCRIPTS.ifs available for download ( see viewtopic.php?t=3421&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60 )

This version needs at least Ant Movie Catalog 3.5.1 rc2 or newer, as it uses new AMC file functions.

If you are testing this version of AMC you might test the new update script, too, as it should be included with the next final release. Thanks !

I consider myself to be an advanced user. Have even done a bit of programming too. The reason i said this discussion is hard to follow is because when a change is made to RC3 it still has the same reference ie
amc3510rc3 may I make a suggestion that if a change is made and the RC number will remain the same that you add a letter after RC3, IE.
amc3510rc3c. I believe this is the third change to RC3 is it not?

I did it like that as it was only few hours later, but you are right: I should have called it rc4 or at least add something in the name.

I mentioned "advanced users" not especially for you, but to explain why this version is not advertised like what previous releases were

The 3.5.0 beta version also had its own topic like this one while the 3.4.3 was still the latest in the "news" section.

Do other people have problems for importing info from DVD IFO files using Media Info DLL 0.7.5 ? I reverted to 0.7.3 for the version that I use, but if other people have the same problem I'll keep that "old" version in the release too...

Edit : MediaInfo 0.7.5.2 seems to correct it

I updated the setup, for a real test of what I will release within two weeks (for some reasons I prefer to wait a little - I do not have time to handle now eventual problems due to this new release).

Just a hint, as I don't know if this was in previous versions:
During installation you can choose "Browse" to change the installation folder, but then you have no button "New folder" to create one if it is missing.

Post by **antp** » 2007-09-07 15:20:04

I do not think that Innosetup has an option for that, I'll check.
But anyway as it adds itself the "Ant Movie Catalog" after the selected folder (unlike that crap of Installshield

) it is not a big problem I think

If it does add it, you're right. I did not pay attention to it. I even opened windows explorer to add a new folder. I must be a noob. Damned.

It seems that I can make that button visible only if I disable the automatic appending of the program's folder name. I wonder why, as both are useful.
Well, I'll keep the current system, as it prevents "novice" users from installing the program directly in "program files" without subfolder (I already that mistake done by some users with Installshield setups

)

As I saw you released 3.5.1 on your website, I just wanted to mention that I had no problems with RC4 yet. I did no intensive testing, but I used the rar archive as portable on an USB stick and the installer locally on a pc.

But what about the language files ? Have enough of them being updated on time ? And might there be problems if not ? (I only used the english version and did not test the german localization)

Post by **antp** » 2007-09-22 22:10:47

All language files were updated by me to work on 3.5.1, but of course those that were not updated then by the translators have items in English.
I only got few updated translations, but I can't wait forever for these

I'll update the setup package in next weeks if I get new translation updates.

German translation is finished and on its way to Antoine. You can also find it here: http://free-hands.org/other/German.lng
