Great, we look forward to the new version.

Looking forward to that myself.
Will this update automatically consolidate all of the identically-named "studio" entries I now have?

Well, that's a bit tricky as I would need to check all list values for all fields and correct them. This could lead to a rather lengthy waiting time for all users. I am not sure if it worth it as it seems to me that not so many of them have the "Ignore case" option on AND values with apostrophs. I will do some tests and will let you know.
There is another question: why could not you load the 0.9.9.21 database in 1.0.x? It would be good to have a sample database that reproduces this problem as well.

As long as it lets me delete the existing studio field value (which I cannot do now!), I can always re-create it. I would hope that PVD would then properly group the movies all under the same (single) studio name.

I'd like to why as well. Does me no good for you to update the 1.x version if it won't load my massive database (i used a copy made from Windows Explorer, of course, not my actual main database). I'll have to try making a smaller database and see what happens.

Okay, I figured out why I couldn't load my 0.9.x database into PVD 1.x. The test database was stored in a disk folder containing an apostrophe in the folder name, and while 0.9 could load it from there, 1.x kept internally stripping out the apostrophe, so it was trying to load it from a (nonexistent) location. Once I copied the database to the location where 1.x was looking for it, the program loaded it okay.
See my separate post regarding folders for more details.
(still waiting for that apostophe fix, but I can live without it for now.) :)
