korbenPL:
Some of these would make my life easier and some would be a nice addition to my beloved application ;)

1] Price field [the default one cause I've added my own field but this cannot work with statistics and I'd love to see the stats for all the movies I bought, divided by no of movies, and also divided by the no of discs to see how much I had paid on the average]

2] Menu-> filter -> Owned and where is the function that we can tick off meaning we own the title?

3] BoxOffice data - worldwide gross d/led from boxofficemojo perhaps...?

4]


more to come in this thread...

I doubt we're going to see further development of the Statistics feature. It makes more sense to add summary statistics to Advanced Search (and perhaps filters) so we can generate whatever information we want. This, along with the ability to save Advanced Search queries, would effectively replace the functionality of Statistics with something completely flexible and configurable.

It's already there: Tick-off "Wish" to indicate the title is not owned. The difference between "wished for" and "not owned" is too subtle to warrant an additional filter. (Note the captions when Movies - Wish is selected.) If there is to be an additional filter, it should be for custom use. I don't know if it's feasible, but it would be nice if it could be configured to work with any standard or custom field.

+1.

2] Menu-> filter -> Owned

still not in accordance with my way of logic
I use PVD to keep track of the flicks I've seen AND [then] bought. And its usually in this order. So adding a title doesnt mean I own it and that's the reason I'm asking for a check box entitled IN COLLECTION that would work with stats.

Yes I still am somewhat influenced by the way movie collector worked for me but I think it's mostly positive ;)

rick.ca:
Use the "Movies on hard drives/removable drives" filter. Contrary to what the caption implies, this filter is simply triggered by something being in the file path field. So if you rip DVD's, those will automatically be "owned." If you don't, just enter whatever you like in the path field—so it will be recognized as owned. Using a custom language file, you can change these captions to "in collection" and "not in collection," and the Wish list captions (default "owned" and "not owned") to "not wished" and "wished."

So what's the problem? When adding a movie you check the "Seen" checkbox and "Wish" checkbox. When you buy the movie, you uncheck the "Wish" checkbox.
