Hi,

I have started to add films to my collection but I might be getting a new laptop soon. Am I wasting my time adding pictures etc or is it fine to do so and transfer the data later?

How do I enter in any last watched details to a dvd? Cannot find this anywhere.


Thanks.

All data can be backed up using the File | Backup Database option on the menus.  You can modify the toolbar and add an icon to expose this a little more.  All pictures and other data are in the backups.  I do one at least every couple days.

Watched Details: select the disc/profile and Press Ctrl+W (or DVD | Watched By...)

And welcome aboard!

Excellent, thanks for that.

As for the last watched feature, where can I see this displayed for all my films? I know the movie pick feature uses it, but where else can it be used?

Depending on the layout you are using there should be a section of the window called Collection List.  If you choose to View As List you can then right click on the list and select View Columns and select Last Watched as a column.

Also you can see your history under Tools | Option | Users.

There may be other reports or plug-ins that show this info better.  Check those forums for more info on those possibilities.

One more:

Is there a quick way of getting actor's images or do I have to insert each one manually?

welcome to the forums - there is no official way to do this, however users have come up with this:

Headshot Master Database

Please read about it before using it, and consider copyright implications...

Had a quick read through it but didn't see anything about copyright implications? Thanks for the link btw.

Druss:

Allow me to try and help you. Most photos of celebrity types are copyrighted by somebody. The Copyright Holder is entitled to compensated for his work. From a fair use point of view, ruled on by the Supreme Court, you are entitled to create a copy for your own use, but once you move into a sharing environment such as the Headshot Database, you then crossover into possible copyright violation and it is important for you to understand that, the penalties for violation can be exceedingly harsh.

Now for the Editorial
This is the reason that I build my own headshots and will not ever use the Headshot database nor share my images with anyone else. For me the risk is too great, you have been informed.

Skip
ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!
