There is one thing regarding the picture import I'd like to see different.
I'd like separate importfields for large picture and small picture. Also I'd like to have a field for a URL to a picture instead of the picture it self. So instead of having a list online w/ hundreds of pics you need to put online, I'd like to store links in the amc db and export a link to say amazon pictures in the html.

Example1: I want to browse my catalog myself and see large pics, but at the same time I'd like to be able to export small pics with a html movie list.

Example2: I want to browse my catalog myself and see small pics, but at the same time I'd like to be able to export links to large pics on amazon.com in my html movie list.

So I propose a fieldLargePicture to store a large picture and keep the fieldPicture for small pic. And two more fields (that don't need to be visible in the interface, altho settable with for example a button for each new field on the picture panel) called fieldPictureURL and fieldLargePictureURL. All of these vars ofcourse with accompanying vars for HTML export, like all the other fields have.

These would be major improvements IMHO. Hope it's not too much to ask for, I think it would idd greatly improve upon this already amazing prog.

Thanx for your time.

I think he said custom fields (this one I think is a custom field) will be implemented in v4.0... We'll wait for his confirmation, but I'm pretty sure he will answer that

yeah ant will speil some crap about custom fields and allowing multiple pictures so you can have as many as you like and stuff coming in version 4.0 (when ever that is.... )

For the pictures I actually plan to make that for the V4 :
Multiple pictures for each movies, where each picture can be either :
* a file stored in the catalog
* a relative or absolute path to an external file
* an URL

So it was already planned to add what you want

Ah, that's great news! Can't wait for v4!

Thanx for the quick replies.

Not before few months
It depends of the free time that I have actually.
And for the moment I do not really want to work on this
