Feature Suggestions / Re: Filter (or anything else) for duplicate movies
« on: June 07, 2010, 02:35:53 pm »
Thanks for your suggestion, buah. That's actually what I had in mind with a slightly altered strategy. I wanted to use the title field and simply add a prefix for the versions (DC, CUT, TVrec, ...) because I still fear - as far as I got the routines of pvd - that pvd may treat my duplicates as redundant entries some day if I accidently checked the "remove duplicates" while cleaning.

The remaining problem for me still is that I'm crying over spilt milk because I already have imported hundreds of movies with all my different version movies among them without any distinguishing entries... What I had in mind was a feature to list all duplicate movies to avoid scrolling down the list for duplicates...

Feature Suggestions / Filter (or anything else) for duplicate movies
« on: June 07, 2010, 11:48:12 am »
Hi again,

since I have some movies in different versions (e.g. theatrical, directors cut, BD, ...) I thought about a nice way to display multiple versions of one and the same movie like filtering for example. Actually - and because I have just forgotten to do this before importing all my movies - I want to add something like "DC" or "Theatrical Version" to the title without scrolling down the alpabetical list and identfy every duplicate that way.

Another very cool way would be to have a series like entry for the movie and sub-entries for the versions (although I think filtering or something like that could be easier to implement).

Furthermore, movie series could be arranged that way...

Thanks for replies or (especially) considering this Idea!

Support / Crash with custom rating field
« on: June 06, 2010, 11:01:50 am »
Hi, it is me again.

After adding a custom field (rating) for quality pvd crashes after my humble vote for quality... This happenes all the time and all changes of value were made in non-edit mode. There are no crashes in edit mode, so supposedly the custom field "vote" doesn't like votes in non-edit mode.

I'm running 0.9.9.24 on Win 7

Bug report says on disasm (red highlight)

Code: [Select]
00907cbe    call    dword prt [ecx+$18]
I guess it doesn't ask for 18 dollars...

 ::) One other suggestion: Can you add a little wait time until restarting after updates? My database is still locked/reserved every time, so pvd restarts, cannot load db, I've to close it again and start it manually again and load my db...

Thousand thanks again!

What a news, thanks doc!

Do you Multiple Movies Editor? The concept of editing multiple movies is planned to be totally changed in future and there will be a possibility to edit any field.
Yes! Great! That's exactly what I long for and painfully miss at present!  ;D  ;D

I am planning to improve toolbars in version 1
Very nice, I'm looking forward to this. You'd be miles ahead of MS Office then... They didn't figure out yet that many people have widescreens... 

And this picture/colour tweak only was a nice-to-have-whistle for pvd anyway.

Feature Suggestions / Toolbar ot right or left?
« on: May 19, 2010, 01:54:26 pm »
Hi there everybody,

would there be an opportunity to get the toolbars to the right or left side of the screen? Since widescreens are getting more and more common sense this would be a perfect oportunity to make their users happy... would also be a great thing for all netbook owners.

And one last question: is it possible to tweak a skin that way that eg languages appear as flags, movie types as corresponding symbol, etc. Alternatively, a possibility to colour certain fields according to their contents would to the job as well. Or just have pictures in some dropdown lists.

eg if field "language" contains "English" show UK or USA flag, OR: colour it red...

Oh, and really finally, will there be more fields (custom fields) added to Multi Edit? Or maybe could "Multi Edit" become customizable?

Thousand questions again, I'm sorry, thanks in advance for every reply,

sincerely Melmoth

Support / Re: V x.19 Amnesia - Default Plugin Import (and skin sometimes)
« on: April 12, 2010, 11:42:51 am »
Thanks, I found it!

Still weird, PVD doesn't seem to modify the default import plugin itself, I had to do this directly in the INI... Colours and other settings are written by PVD itself... strange...

I'm lost... I did a global search, checked all known locations for AppData directories... nothing. Coldn't even find PVD's entries among those places. Do you know where PVD puts this INI when installed under WIN 7?

Did you change smth with pvdconf.ini file recently?
No, I'm pretty sure. By the way, I cannot find it... it should be in the main directory? That could be the problem...  ::)

Support / V x.19 Amnesia - Default Plugin Import (and skin sometimes)
« on: April 08, 2010, 06:41:07 pm »
Hi again,

since V x.19 PVD seems to have lost its "Default Import Plugin" memory... It used to be a batch with V x.18, I've just changed it to another batch (this batch works fine, too) after the update and after every restart there's the old batch again... strange... not really an issue for me...

Sometimes I even lose my skin to the first in the list.

The rest just works fine...

By the way, did I ever thank you for this great programme?  ???

« on: March 29, 2010, 09:59:05 pm »
Ups, my bad, one can of course sort by this...

Quote
You can't sort by such fields
just out of curiosity: why not?

As far as I experienced this any CSV or Excel file is good for it. I successfully reproduced the error with this CSV:

Code: [Select]
Translated Title;Translation;Lge;Subs
Sample Movie;Latin; English;Latin, English
Sample - The Movie;Latin;;Latin, English
Sample 2;Latin; English;Latin, English
The Crying of Sample 3;Latin; English;Latin, English
The Secret Life of Sample;Latin;;Latin, English
21 Samples;English; Latin;English, Latin
In Sample;English; Latin;English, Latin
The highlighted bit of the bug report says
Code: [Select]
008cbfe0     cmp     dword ptr [edx+eax*4], 0
Maybe you can make sense of it...

Thanks a lot again!

Support / Sort by "Location" / no import for "Translation"
« on: March 29, 2010, 07:30:49 pm »
My question #1,000 and 1,001... sorry...

After transferring my movies to PVD I stumbled upon two other things, the first is something very important, the second not:
  • How can I convince the program to sort (very important) / group by "Location"?
  • Importing s.th. to the "Translation" field leads to a crash. I tried from CSV and Excel...

Thanks again.

Hi, it is me again...

I just imported my entire collectioin via CSV and PVD seems to ignore that I really wanted to keep my suggestion for "Date Added" and not want to know when I added all my stuff to PVD...

So: Is there any way to keep my "Date Added"?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your replies.

If only actors are affected I don't think it is a huge problem.

By the way: "merge filmography" was not enabled...
Quote
Merge filmography is not set.
Original title is set to overwrite, and the value is never edited.

A maybe little stupid question: if a checkbox is completely filled (and not ticked) it means "change stuff if field is empty" and ticked means "overwrite" - right?

Support / Lost Actor?
« on: March 27, 2010, 11:52:36 am »
Are there any known issues concerning  lost people when adding a new film (with this person)?

My problem was that I added a movie with an actor already among my people view - but this new film didn't show up in the movie list on its people page. So I updated / re-imported data from the internet for this guy and - voila - pvd deleted this actor from the old films and only displayed this actor with the newly added flick. And the movie list for this actor refuses to display the old films... Then I re-imported data for the old films and pvd keeps on refusing to add this actor again. I'm kinda puzzled, I already ran the DB clean-up routine with no effect. Manually adding this actor again works fine, but this could get an annoying bug if this happens again...  ???

Thanks again, doc!

The fieldlabel hint did the job.

But is there really no possibility to write a script that changes certain fields? Or imports from a local source (like a template containing the shared fields)? If not that would be a great feature for future releases... ::)

Yes, in Tools -> Preferences -> Appearance
Oh, in the preferences... I should indulge in my hobbies at daylight.

Support / not really important questions concearning skins
« on: September 23, 2009, 11:46:44 pm »
Hi everybody,

While toying around mostly with movie skins I stumbled over a few things:

  • labelfont, fieldfont and linkdefs only change most of the font appearances, well, how to change the rest? E.g. tagline and description remain the way they were, some hyperlinks do the same... Am I right to assume that those three before mentioned guys are not the (only) global font setting strings?
  • How to I add custom fields? I found something like <customfieldlabel field="my field"/> but nothing about this fella:<? my field/>
  • Can I change the colour of those little
  • buttons that expand lists?
  • Can I add dots to the "actors (vast space) role" vast space?
  • Can I recolour the left view?
  • Is there a list of all available fields and their names?
  • Is there a script that could do stuff like "add 'something' to field A"? Or: can I create templates for new movies? E.g. if I add a TV recording the template already contains "TV" @ quality and "DVD5" @ mediatype etc?

So far, thanks for replies and apologies for all those questions...
