OK, so I decided I wanted the full app even if I couldn't search.  But now I've discovered that the filter feature will accomplish the same thing.

Thanks!

Greate App!

Before I forget again... I've been using the app pretty regularly since purchasing it.  I tried posting on your site, but never got confirmation of my registration, so I'll post here for now regarding a couple requests.

Keep in mind, I'm not porgrammer, so maybe these aren't all feasible.  With that in mind here's what I'd like added to functionality:

1.  Landscape mode
2.  Ability to sort by production year
3.  Ability to show only numbered discs (my personal favorite so I can limit the child profiles from TV series)

Anyhow, thanks again for the app.  No regrets on the purchase.

This how I do it but I used to do it the other way, numbered each disc, so maybe showing only profiles without a number as well.

Maybe my phpbb forum have troubles...

But I note your all remarks 

I dream of an iPhone application like collectorz.. 
But it's not the same price and I hope they have a bigger team than mine !

Speaking of letters, I would remove the letter index in the free version.  I thought something wasn't displaying correctly when I just had a few letters on there because it only imported a small fragment of my collection.

Just to say that I've bought this as well. And it's certainly going to be a useful stop gap.. I just wish it handled boxsets - but then the main Invelos web page doesn't.

I assume that the main website will be updated at some point with the new version - will iMovies be updated as well to takes these into account?

If invelos website change, I will change my code as soon as possible.
But today I don't really know how to manage boxsets to be honest (in terms of ergonomics).

For boxsets, you can think of a profile having an ID field and a ParentID field.  The ID could be the UPC/EIN, some unique value that identifies it.

If a profile has the ParentID value set, it is a child of another profile.  If the ParentID is zero, it has no parent.

ID ParentID Name
1  0            Movie 1
2  0            Movie 2
3  1            Movie 3
4  1            Movie 4
5  1            Movie 5
6  4            Movie 6
7  0            Movie 7

So query for all profiles with a ParentID of 0 to display your main list.  Then as you loop over the query and display each row, query to see if there are any rows with a ParentID of the current row's ID.  If so, recurse and display those rows (or blank the screen and only display those rows).  Perform the same child check when displaying the children to handle grandchildren and so on.  The same function can call itself to handle the entire directory tree.

The above rows of data would produce:
Movie 1
    Movie 3
    Movie 4
        Movie 6
    Movie 5
Movie 2
Movie 7

We don't use "DVDTech".  "Movie Gallery" doesn't seem to be taken.

When I refreshed the app today after adding to my collection I encountered a problem.  Now, when I sync it syncs not just my Owned, but also my wishlist.  Anyone else having this issue?

it's not a new bug, but a new feature

I received emails to have wishlist on iPhone, so I last night I change my script to do that.
The only trouble is that you can't differentiate own and other on iPhone

If several people complain I can go back

I see most people using the app as a way to prevent against double-dipping.  Having the wishlist in with the owned could cause zero-dipping (not buying).

I'd like the wishlist, but if it is mixed in with what I owned it renders the app useless, I'm afraid.
