Question: Will the upgrade affect existing locks? (noticed the edition of some graphcs there, looks good).  I have alot of my genres locked (along with selected things on some profiles), hopefully those won't be removed with the upgrade.

Looking good Ken...         -kd5-


No, existing locks will not be altered.

Thanks, Blair. That's bugged me for a long time and never knew I could fix it. This site is really the only one I have that problem with and now the screen looks much better!

Ah yes, formats (NTSC/PAL and aspect ratio fields) have been moved into the features/formats tab to make room for the new format settings (color and dimensions).

Color and Dimensions? Cool!

Did you include all 4 Difference... Color, B&W, Colorized & Mixed?

I believe that is what the request came down to at least.

Yeah... best is very subjective.  So far the best for me is the new comparison screen. I personally don't really care about the CoO but I do know that multiple CoO fields has been asked for every since we got a CoO field.

To be honest... nothing got me really excited yet.

My top wishes for this release would have been...

- Play All check box in features (for TV Eps., Shorts collections, Etc.)
- Cast/Crew linking
- better handling of 2 movies on 1 side of disc
- Links for Trailer, imdb, rotton tomatoes and such for manual profiles
- when clicking on actor name... showing all in our collection with said actor/crew member... have it so we can choose either owned only.... owned, ordered... or all three. In any combination (check box for each section to include)


and a few others I am sure... that I can't think of off the top of my head.


Another one I hope to see in this new version is to move Television from Genre and give us a Filterable/Sortable field for...

Television
Theatrical
Direct-to-Video
Etc. (as needed... not sure if I missed any)

What about colour-tinted?
I currently track B&W with tags, and use this option for when entire scenes are tinted a particular colour. They're still monochrome, but no longer "black and white", but certainly not colourised.

I know it's a relatively rare case, but I have a few releases that have *both* NTSC and PAL (often as a flipper disc). Is it possible to get an option that supports this? It could be something with a prompt when entering it and/or a flag when contributed.

If it is rare, as a programmer, I would not worry about it, I would suggest using the tag system for it.

I don't know... maybe it is just me... but I always looked at color-tinted as an early form of colorized. But if it is needed... not something I would be against.

Nothing that is easily handled by tags is "needed" as a new feature.

See what I put in bold.

So if it is already there... it should be done correctly as needed, IMHO.

Almost everything could be handled by tags. If it's objective information that people are interested in, it should be in the main DB.

In this case I see this not as objective but as subjective depeding upon the user. For example I have zero interest on sin city being color tinted in some scenes. What would be next users wanting a listing of which scenes were tinted, there is such a thing as timing, and this hits me in that vein simply tmi

Prohibited if Teddy ever takes his box of crayolas after Citizen Kane. I want to know which it is so I don't buy it. <grumble>

I imagine relatively few people are interested in many of the trivial film/DVD details some of the feature requests pertain to, and tags are much more limited than you suggest, being merely a series of checkboxes.  But they're very good for certain things, and I don't see a pressing need to modify the program to do things that tags already do quite well.

I think it's unwise to put in a lot of features that most users will find little if any interest in.

But how would you, or anybody else know that "most users will find little if any interest in"? I prefer too many fields over not enough. If you aren't interested about info in some particular field just don't use it.
