[FR][EN] Ant Movie Catalog 4.2.1 (04/11/17)

[humungus]

@soulsnake
I've finally upgraded to version 4.2 a couple of weeks ago, and I have a request: I've been using AMC for more years than I can count and my brain is so used to the old layout that it simply cannot wrap itself around the fact that the fields Year and Length are no longer where they used to be. I have a 24" display and run the program in fullscreen mode, and having these fields all the way to the right just doesn't work for me. Seeing how both fields are short (as is Certification), wouldn't it make more sense to move them to the left of Country and Category? That way all this information would be much closer together and easier to find/read. Of course, if you can make this optional so those who prefer it the new way can keep it this way, would be even better.

Can't you move them by tweaking the translation file?
e.g. viewtopic.php?t=4121

Well, I didn't know about this, and assuming everyone knows Delphi is a bit much (I don't know Delphi), but in the end I seem to have succeeded and I like what I see now, so thanks for the tip.

Meanwhile, I noticed that CTRL+M no longer opens URL. It's a shortcut I used often and I'm wondering if it's possible to tweak keyboard shortcuts? I find CTRL+M a lot easier to hit with just one hand than CTRL+U.

[soulsnake]

Hi,

The shortcut CTRL+M is used the field FilePath now.
You can use the shortcut CTRL+U for the field URL.
To know other shortcuts, you can look in menus on main toollbar .

If you want to exchange shortcuts, you can add this in your language file after [MainWindow] :

Code: Select all

[MainWindow]
; ShowMessage(IntToStr(TextToShortCut('CTRL+M'))); // = 16461
; ShowMessage(IntToStr(TextToShortCut('CTRL+U'))); // = 16469
; ShowMessage(IntToStr(TextToShortCut('CTRL+SHIFT+M'))); // = 24653
; ShowMessage(IntToStr(TextToShortCut('CTRL+SHIFT+U'))); // = 24661 
MnuUrlOpen.ShortCut=16461
MnuFPhOpen.ShortCut=16469
MnuUrlExp.ShortCut=24653
MnuFPhExp.ShortCut=24661

Thanks, soulflake! Works like a charm.

Great work on the program, btw.

That's not knowing Delphi, it is rather specific to this program, it is just that the question often comes so I assumed that you made a search on the forum

Guilty! I didn't search the forum. I suppose I didn't even think it was possible to move them...
After the first look at the ChangeFieldsPosition.lng I actually had no idea what I should do and when I googled a bit for those properties, I got the impression it was delphi. Well, in the end I just grabbed the source code because I figured those properties must be used somewhere and I found framemovie.dfm. Some (well, lots) of trial and error and guesswork later, I'm pleased as punch.

Recently i am woring on onecode c# program,i read many books and related movies.After using Ant Movie Catalog for my movies I want it to manage my books as well because AMC ist simply the best DB solution available (and I really tried hard to find something, even commercial apps for movies or books are nothing compared to it).

[GnomesRUs]

Ran into a problem with the new Custom Fields today...

I would like to include the "NFO" file from some downloaded movies into my catalog, but the size of the custom fields seems to be locked at a height of three lines - With NFO files I'd need a height of about 25 lines for them to fit without having to scroll the field window.

Would this possibly be a doable thing?

I know it wouldn't work well when switching to "All Fields", but in the Custom Fields pane it would be fine.

Thank You

[soulsnake]

Hi,

You can resize custom fields like you want.
Just do a right click on custom fields panel and check moving fields.
Put the mouse at the right of the field to resize it.
When you finish, just do a right click again on custom fields panel and uncheck moving fields.

Well, that was easy, wasn't it! :P

I knew I could move the fields, but I wasn't aware I could resize them...

Thank You so much, soulsnake

Hi Soulsnake, Thanks a lot for the new beta release. I was hoping that a pending request ( see viewtopic.php?t=5751 ) would have been taken care of in the beta version, but that hasn't yet happened

Any chance that scrollbars in statistics window might make their appearance in 4.2.1?

Thanks for the update but what is the compatability with windows 10 ?

I would try to install windows 10, but I don't know if it's ok with AMC.
If no test I will try and return an answer ^^
I don't think there will be a problem but in case...

[antp]

It should work fine, I guess.
It is not a very complicated program, there is no reason why it would not work on W10 since it works fine in 7 & 8.

[xenesys]

Here I am in Windows 10 and as expected no problems yet.

thanks for the update (not yet installed ^^''')
