Hi
I have upgraded to a 27 inch monitor and the AMC interface is small. Can you tell me what commands can be used to enlarge everything? From icons to fonts. I saw that by editing the translation file I can change some fonts but I don't know what commands should be used to change all the fonts.
Thanks

I found a post that explains how to hide certain entries and this would allow me to enlarge the fonts. The problem is that the spaces are not redistributed after I hide a field

These old applications do not support very well scaling, that's from an older era (made with tools from 25 years ago...)
Microsoft seems to have changed the way it works too, and do not provide option to use the old scaling system. So even if it somewhat works in older versions of Windows, with the recent ones it does not seem to be the case unfortunately.
In the properties of the shortcut used to run the program, in the "Compatibility" tab, there is a button to change High DPI settings. You may try to see if changing these options give a different result.

Thank you, you are very kind to keep alive and follow this wonderful program. Unfortunately, even with DPI enabled in the properties, there are no big improvements
Are there any valid programs that can replace AMC today? Or are you working on a new version (which would be great!)

An excellent altenative to AMC is EMDB (Eric's Movie DataBase).

The main reason I still prefer AMC is everything can be done using the keyboard.
That's definitely not true with EMDB.

Sorry, no, due to lack of time I won't work on a replacement project.
I don't know in the very long term if I'll be able to keep AMC running forever, but in worse case some day I could make additional conversion tools if needed to migrate to other solutions.
Moreover, I do not need any more to catalog movies, since I mostly watch series via streaming (which I manage via the Betaseries website, to know what I watched and what is left to watch).

I understand, in any case, you and your program, you have done a great job and left a mark in the history of the network, you must be proud of it.

Thanks AllanH, I will follow your advice
