1.  The Graphs include entries on 'All' Lists and does not give an option to change it.  Either it should use the currently displayed list (such as 'Owned') or it should have an option to change which list is used for the graph.  It would be acceptable (and preferable) to only use the Owned list.

2.  The graph for the Personal --> Reviews --> Video selection lists entries the same way as the 'Entire' selection; it should only list 'None' through '5 Bars'.

I think you'll find that's exactly the same as 2.4/2.5... more like a new feature you'd like than a big.

I don't see this. I have 3 options under Personal -> Reviews and they are Movie, DVD and Entire which are scored 0-5, 0-5 and 0-9.5 ... I suspect this last one is an error and should be 10?

So what if it is the same as 2.4? It is still a bug. Combining Owned, Ordered and Wishlist for the purpose of Charts and Graphs makes no sense. Users want to chart their collection statistics, not their potential collection statistics. Charts and Graphs should either only be for Owned or allow for separation of all the lists so they can be viewed separately.

On your second point, you obviously don't have your Reviews set to Detailed. If you did, you would see that Dreader is correct.

Thanks for the info. Ken will sort out whether it was intended that way or is/might be a new feature. Thanks for the information.

I think Charts & Graphs definitely need more work, but probably aren't a priority right now.
I'm sure there are larger issues with the program to resolve.

As many have mentioned, the legend on the right side cannot display large ranges of data; it simply runs out after a certain number of entries.

I don't see the option to turn off tags or the legend which version 2.4/2.5 had.
The tags can quickly become a graphical mess if there are too many of them; especially with studios!
While interesting, many of the graphs are hard to read without horizontal gridlines, which earlier versions had.

The ability to remove the text labels on the graph would clear up a lot of unreadable clutter, especially with studios and production years. We can use the color coded key to see what is what.



The Microsoft Excel Theme has serious display problems; at least on my system:



Do others see this phenomena?

Maybe if it cannot be fixed, perhaps it should just be removed.

There is also the limitation of the color coded key not displaying the full range of data.
In the screenshots above, note how only a small fraction of the studios are listed before they run off the list.

Thanks for your patience.

I really like this.

I really dislike this.


Bring back charts with drop down menus, please.
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

There's a good example to show that 3.0 code wasn't simply taken from 2.x code.
