This is a great program, but a few things for me would be perfect...

When I look on filmography of some actor, and click on movie which I don't have, program automatically adds that movie in the list in the left window... I don't understand why it does that, is that a bug, or how to detain that?

Also, today with big monitors, and big resolutions, for me is important to have possibility to increase font size in right window, not only in left window....

Also I like screenshots in my database, but it's very tiring every time to double click on some screenshot, for me it's better to have option for single left mouse click to display screenshots.... And would be nice to have possibility to zoom window with screenshot...

best regards

rick.ca:
The link behaviour is configurable at Preferences - Miscellaneous.

Font sizes and all aspects of the movie and people information panels are completely configurable in the skins.

Double-clicking is tiring? That's sad... ;)

First, I want to thank for the support for big monitors and high resolutions!

The proper question for oneself here would be IMHO, what does one want by clicking on a movie link the one doesn't have?


The third question is already considered by nostra in a way to add next/previous image button while previewing all images, not only screenshots.

Cheers

Ok, thank you for the answers, I didn't know that most of these things is already implemented...

And "a full featured viewer" would be fantastic :)

Relative font sizes in the skins (ie. <font><size>+1</size></font>) would be cool.  TOOLS->PREFERENCES->APPEARANCES would seem a logical place to set a default font size for skins.

As far as that goes, having (say) 5 font settings (1-5, with 3 being default), a skin coder could do something like:
<font id=1/> and user settings (color / boldness / italics / underline / typeface) could be taken from the the appearance dialog.  Naming the numeric sequence (small, link, link_visited, normal, subtitle, title) instead of numbering would clarify for the user, what exactly they were changing.

This logic could be extended to globally configure <section> colors, speed buttons, rating images and other such things (skin background image, PVD info pane background image), separator images, which columns to display in filmographies, selection of an external viewer for images...it goes on and on...an option to display an image with a link...set sizes for screenshots and posters.

The only drawback I can think of is when a user likes the whole appearance of a skin, but doesn't have the APPEARANCE settings to accommodate this.  This would require the setting of defaults in the skin that could be overridden by the appearance settings (ie. "use skin defaults" | "user skin settings"), or an external file that is included with a skin and loaded automatically by PVD.  Now that PVD scripting supports files, it may be possible to write a script that does inline conversions and rewrites the skin....hmmm...might have to try that...
