I quite like the structured view the movie collector offers (collectorz.com) and was wondering if a future version will have some sort of xml/css view option?

xml/css templates also would enable us to create our own templates and "design" the "looks" ourselves (i did that with collectorz.com template/css)

Esp. the current listing of actors is really awful. It would be much nicer to have actors (and their character roles) listed more visually appealing (table) and maybe even link (ahref) the actor names to either the imdb site of that actor or even better get the actor info (filmography/biography) from imdb.com and save it too in the local DB (movie card vs. actor card).

BTW: imdb.com offers the WHOLE imdb database for download!

In a future version I will add the possibility to use an HTML view, using IE/Mozilla (since both allow their rendering engine to be used in other programs).

For the Alternate thing of IMDB, it may be interesting, but since it was no use for me I never did anything about it :D
