Support / Overwrite fields problem with imdb plugin.
« on: August 23, 2011, 12:29:28 pm »
Hello. I have had a problem for some time with the imdb plugin:
when I want to update infos for a film already in my database, I don't want the program to change some fields. I use the "overwrite fields" checkboxes in the configuration, and it works nicely with most fields if I want them updated or not, but it doesn't work with the main "TITLE" field. In my collection, a lot of films have that field empty, and I only use the ORIGINAL TITLE field. When the TITLE field is empty, the imdb plugin always fill it, even when the TITLE overwrite checkbox is unchecked.
Any solution ?

Support / Find PVD entry from filepath
« on: February 11, 2011, 09:33:54 pm »
Hello.

Is there some way to retrace a file in PVD ? I have some files that are apparently already in the database, yet I can't find where.
When I use the scan function of PVD on the said files, it doesn't find any new files (meaning that the files are already in the db)... So I think I made a mistake somewhere, and the file is already pointed at somewhere. Is there a way to find out where, without having to check by hand ?

Support / Left menu: Title format
« on: May 21, 2010, 09:21:29 am »
Hello ! I've been around quite a few times already to ask for help tweaking my PVD :p

On the left menu, that's how i configured the film title display: %O (%T) (%Y)
The translated title is for me the French title (since, you guessed it right, Im French).
Problem is, sometimes there is no French title. Actually, pretty often. And of course, I let the field empty for French films.
So, in the left menu, I have a lot of empty "()":
Quote
Film's Name () (2008)

So, I wonder if there is a command for conditional display. Like adding some special character that would tell the program to display only if the field is not empty (something like [%T], i don't know).
I guess it's not featured yet, I would love it if you could add it to the todo list !

Thanks a lot

Support / Modify the people skin.
« on: March 30, 2010, 10:55:43 am »
Hello. Is it possible to change some things in the "filmography" par of the people's skin ?
I would like, for one, to have the Original Title appearing on the left, and "title" (= translated title) appearing on the right. The default configuration is the opposite of that.
There's nothing to be changed in the skin's xml, nor in the software options. Or maybe I didnt look in the right place ?

TIA !

Support / Color changing in film list. [solved]
« on: March 15, 2010, 02:15:13 pm »
Hello. I've got a film listing with a bright yellow color in my list. It's the first time I see that.
The film doesnt seem to have anything different from the others, so Im not sure what's wrong.

Here is a screenshot:

Support / Multiple Movies Editor crashing PVD
« on: January 28, 2010, 01:43:43 pm »
Hello.

For my use, I often need to select a few films and hit the edit button to use the multiple movies editor.
Sometimes, when I do so, after the editor opens, the program freeze. I cannot click anywhere, nor can I close the editor. I have no other choice but ctrl alt sup.

I use the latest stable version (0.9.9.14), Im running windows XP.
It happens quite randomly, the number of film selected for edition doesnt matter.
I tend to wait a bit before I click the edit button, but it still freezes sometimes, maybe one out of 10 times.

Anyone got the same problem ?

Also, my computer is quite old (Athlon 2000+, 1Gb DDR), but Im still a little upset with the performances. It takes up to 2 or 3 seconds to change from a film page to another, and even more to switch from normal mode to edit mode. Why is that ?
It's a shame really, because otherwise PVD is EXCELLENT, and I say that after having tried loads of similar programs.

Anyway, if one can help me deal with that bug ? Thanks a lot !

Support / Movie description - Display more than 1 actor by default.
« on: December 08, 2009, 06:16:55 pm »
Hello.
First, I enjoy PVD. I went through a lot of trouble to import my AMC database, but it's finally taking form.

I would like to modify the default film display a bit: I would like to see more actors without having to click the + button. When I display all the actors, since I chose to import them all from imdb, I get a very long list.
But if I dont click the + button, it only display 1 actor. Is there a way to change that so I can display maybe 5 or 10 actors ? IMDB usually display main actors first, so I'd have the 5 or 10 main actors displayed without having to click on the +.

I'm sorry, I'm a bit tired and have difficulties expressing myself clearly in english ;)

Any help appreciated, sorry if the question was asked before, I tried to use the search on the forum with no success.
