Click on the operator (=) and select IS NULL
Or select the containing operator and set keyword to imdb

It is a lot of work. It makes much more sense for you to do the testing, and then make the case for multi-threading. I'm not sure it will work, but you could install multiple copies of the program, and run them simultaneously using the -portable and -open=database switches so each uses it's own configuration and database.

You're going to trust an outdated review by an amateur reviewer who tried the program once?! Slow compared to what? The second review is for another program. ::)

Ahhhh there's actually a menu behind "containing" - awesome!
Dang.. 123 out of 712 have been skipped.
rick.ca -> Gonna try that when im re-doing the entire list! Worth trying at least.
If i had trusted only 1 review, i wouldn't have started using PVD ;) I always do alot more research than a single review.
The times where i trust one single review, is when its authored by me ;) (I do hardware reviews)
But i really like PVD - it was hard getting to work properly in the beginning, but the possiblities are endless.

--- End quote ---
What is your secret?! ;) I started PVD about 2½ hours ago, and it has now passed 500 entries - in silent mode.
--- End quote ---
2,5hrs x 10=25 hrs
500 x 10= 5000
;D
--- End quote ---
My math tells me two things: 5000 != 5500, and 25 hours != 24 hours ;)
And then there's the skipped ones. But it helps alot, when most can be done automaticly.

Unfortunately it seems like many users have difficulties when starting using PVD. If you have suggestions how to make the process easier for beginners, then feel free to post in the Feature Suggestions board.
