Don't you think we should put it to a vote? ;)
Perhaps the first beta should have LOTS of bugs in it—to keep us off your back for little while. ;D

I do not like existing icons as well...

If the beta would have lots of bugs it would only transfer you from the back to my head :)

--- Quote ---So, I am going to be the icon guy here, eh?
--- End quote ---
Seems so ::)
--- Quote ---OK, here are two icons (Open and Close). Also GPL from the net. Tell me what you think (and mention me in credits. Tongue)
--- End quote ---
Hmm, I think both icons are too similar to each other and the filmstrip is not sharp enough. Maybe you'll find some more and I'll try all of them in the App and will take the best looking ones.
I can add you to the credits, but only if you supply all the icons in UI. It would be great to have some icon packages to choose from (like skins).
--- Quote ---Could you please update the version in splash screen and in About?
--- End quote ---
What's wrong with it?
--- Quote ---Could you also make the programme portable by default?
--- End quote ---
I think I can add an option in installer.
--- Quote ---By the way, could anyone tell me why this enormous number of software still store there .ini files in Application Data?
--- End quote ---
It is the default path for storing such data in Windows...
--- Quote ---Could you (the 1000th could you) add the wins and nominations beside the award name. e.g. Academy Award (4 Wins, 5 Nominations):
--- End quote ---
I'll check if it will not look too overloaded.

It would be useful to have larger versions of the icons for use on the large screens used for htpc.
Pardon my ignorance, but where were you suggesting the close icon be used? The current exit function is a lot different to the open database function, so the icons should reflect this.

Too small. Not as good as the current folder icons.

Hopefully, the Customizable Views feature will allow us to create a view suitable for HTPC use. I think that's going to require a lot of discussion about how it's implemented and used. In other words, I think we need to wait to see what nostra has come up with before considering things like the best icons to use.
--- Quote ---They still say: 0.9.8.20
--- End quote ---
That's what the file property of the executable says it is, so it's "correct" in that sense. I suspect a minor bug fix was made to 0.9.8.19, so the version was incremented, but the installer name, etc. were not updated. See this message. I think it would be a good idea to update the download page and change log. Once the beta is released, users are going to be paying more attention to version numbers.
--- Quote ---I install the apps I like on drive D: if they are portable so they could stay theoritically forever without worrying.

I don't know how, but there must be a way of changing the location of the Application Data directory in Windows. I prefer to leave it where it is, and include it in my daily backup routines. I've never reinstalled Windows, but I often recover from my own mistakes by restoring application data from backup. BTW, even if the system drive is not the best place to put it, a separate data directory is much preferable to saving data with the applications.

I think there's "overload" already—just because of the number of different awards tracked by IMDb. I think this would help, particularly when there are a large number of nominations and only a few wins. It also resolves the shock of seeing "6 wins and 5 nominations" for a move like Catwoman. (Four of the wins are Razzie "worsts;" the other two are for makeup. :D )
BTW, I've noticed many award entries are duplicated (a varying number of times). It looks like it's because it's a "team" award given to a number of individuals—but the plugin is not getting (or correctly saving) the peoples' names.
