Just installed the new version.  Can't figure out the view menu.  Six different themes but I can't resize the windows.  All I need to see is a small picture and overview.  Maybe next semester I'll write something like this under GNU.
Is it just me I wonder? I would not pay 29 cents for this piece of bloatware crap.  I might consider using it if invelos will pay me me!

If you can't figure out the menu or how to resize windows how are you going to write a new program?

@wrocnrob
Click on those "x"'s in the upper right corner until your desired windows are left (learned that in IT lessons back in 6th grade or so). May solve the problem. btw: Under "View" are more options for you to figure out how to use probably.

And:
I think noone forces you to use that prog or pay for it.
And good luck for your GNU project.

I don't think GNU means what he thinks it means. Perhaps he was referring to GPL.

Well, writing a view menu that he can figure out AND a window that he can resize, sounds like a hell of a semester paper!

What happens on the web, stays on the web.  Since 07' DVD profiler has improved support and I have a lot more patience.  I also have much more respect for M$.  No, I didn't mean GPL; licensing has never been one my primary considerations, and I was not aware of the GPL acronym at time.  I purchased membership because of the hosting feature.  DVD profiler is still bloaty, but so is a lot of other software.  BTW, I'm an MIS major and not a developer.  But, I don't think it would be all that difficult to make some kind of simple movie database.

In fact that is exactly how this one started long ago.

As MIS you normally wouldn't meet to many customers, but I can tell you that their wishes (when followed) have the tendency to bloat any software project. For further info on how to bloat a database take a look at the Feature Request forum.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I just noticed the date span. Funny! 

Thanks for sharing your new perspective - we all grow and change, after all.

But I submit that your premise about the ease of making a movie database (with the implication hat it would be equally functional with DVDP, yet easier to use), is flawed. Anyways, best of luck in your MIS studies.
Thanks for your support.

I just meant a movie database for my own needs.  I can't imagine developing something that supports thousands of users.  Considering the online hosting, DVDprofiler is an awesome bargain.  More specifically, I paid for it, I use it and it works fine without much hassle.
