I have used ant movie for long time and never had any problem. Now I figure out that my "date added" date is not valid. On half movies there is todays date. Tomorrow if I open it will be tommorow date, how to say. It is always todays date. How is this possible, any solutions to this?

I have my database in xml format. Please help

Update:
When I open xml database in Ant movie catalog, checkbox beside "date added" is missing and date is today date. When i open xml in Internet explorer to see what I can do by hand... I can see that there is no any dates in database. That mean that I just lost every date when I added movie. Ant movie somehow delete those from database. Can someone said something about possible reasons?

There is a bug which make AMC storing dates in local format instead of something fixed like yyy-mm-aa
Maybe you changed the date format in the meantime ?
If you still have an old copy of the catalog (check .bak file) what you can try to do is change back to the old settings, load the catalog, change to the new setting, the save the catalog to another name, and check that the format in the catalog was indeed updated.

Thank you for taking time to explain me. I was not changing format of time but I loaded one time ant movie in wine. That must be it.

I forgot to ask, is this bug now fixed in latest AMC? I would like to continue to use linux and continue to use amc

Not yet, sorry There weren't new release of the program (just an update of the setup for the scripts)

huh, well, I have to wait for it... I have no other alternative
