The critical option for me is the cusomized file scanner. Until I have something that can parse file names correctly as title names I can't use PVD. I need something that can parse names from this format:
%TITLE%[.%year%][.%release type%].%source%.%format%[.%additional format%]-%release group%.%file format postfix%
spaces between words as do elements are seperated by dots.
[] is optional data.
field data is determained as follows:
release type - is a word from a set of words like LIMITED, FESTIVAL, UNRATED
source - is usually DVDrip
format - is a word from a set, usually xvid
additional format - a word from a set, like AC3
release group - one of many names like DIAMOND, AAF, DEVISE, FLAWL3SS, etc... setting it to be -* would work (anything after the - and before the .avi )
file format postfix - .avi .mkv .mp4 etc.
i'd like to keep those parsed data parts in their own fields if possible.
if this is too complex, just having a list of words to be discarded, plus a mask, would be good too (like a word list, plus anything after the - sign, or after the .dvdrip*) , but i'd so much prefer to save this data somewhere.
Thanks for this great program :)

the program to me is pretty good as is but im sure whatever improvements are made will help but what it needs is a
PRINTING FEATURE.

I'm feeling a little sad for this feature. What, exactly, did you (nostra) have in mind, considering you've already provided for the export of HTML reports (which can then be printed)?

There's more interest in this now, but I'm still not sure what users think they want when they ask for "printing." Print what? A screen shot? The movie list? The details of the selected movie? Or is a full-featured report generator expected?

Hi all, I'm new here and new to Personal Video Database.
Firstly I'd like to say what an awesome app! Its just what I've been looking for and freeware too! nostra you rock dude! ;D
I've just voted but to be honest, without reading all 7 pages here I wasn't really clear exactly what was meant by the features that I had to choose from.
In the end I voted for these: (in no particular order)
Sorting and grouping custom fields
Client-Server support
Copy and Paste records from one DB to another To some degree this would be negated by above - for me at least. I have read some discussion of the database being able to be manipulated by other software (as it is a firebird db?). I'm assuming that this means the data could already be transferred to a new db?
Customizable file scanner
As I'm currently importing movies & data at the moment, a few things have occured to me (please excuse me if these have already been mentioned)
1. Unattended Import - I guess this would only really be useful for people such as myself who are new to this app and have quite a few movies to import. But it would be great if it could just scan a folder and automatically select the best match. Then I could go back through and double check at my convenience, rather than have to keep clicking ok all the time. For people who are importing a number of new movies to an existing database perhaps there could be a field to note that the data was unconfirmed.
2. More info in message windows when importing (or ability to see the main window) - as I write this I am importing movies (as I said above) and it is a bit of a pain that I can't see the file that the found info refers to. Some are quite obvious, but others - well who knows?? There seems to be no way of getting back to the main window while it is scanning folders/downloading data. This means that any I'm not sure about I need to skip and hopefully there is someway of downloading info for them individually (I'm assuming there is).
Hope that doesn't sound whingey! Thanks again for all the hard work you've obviously put into this!
