[meriator]

hi all

I would like to see the following features

additional movie fields
   * msID (aka website id) Table:wwwMIDs[MID, site(s.text/base_url), msID(s.text)] msID=mostly an integer but not allways
   * critic (memo)
   * notice (memo)
   * independent movie template (filename) ( would be nice for series, category, generes)
   
  comment:  [msID]: this would make it much easier to decide whether a movie is allready listet or not
 
   
additional person fields
   * psID (aka website id) Table:wwwPIDs[PID, site(s.text/base_url), psID(s.text)]
   * gender (integer)
   * critic (memo)
   * notice (memo)
 *** custom fields
 
  comment:  [psID]: this would make it much easier to decide whether an actor is allready listet or not
   

additional movie image fields
   * (PIDs)   to link a person to an image
   * hint    (short text)
   * sort    (integer) to sort images
   
  comment:  if * (PIDs on images) then there should be a function
 in persons imageview MODE, aka (show him/her on screens) to make sense
   
additional actor/crew fields
   * sort    (integer) to sort by importance
   * mainA   (boolean) to mark their importance and maybe to have a criteria for a shortlist on skinning
              true:main actor (default:false)
additional crew fields
   ( by importance )
 *** cinematographer
 *** cutter
 *** sound
  ** novel
  ** screenplay
   * effects
   * make-up
   * costume design
   * production design
   * lights
   * wardrobe
   * stunts
   * set decoration
   * requisite
   
   
programm behaivor
 [scripting feature] (* AddFieldValueToLastActor / * AddFieldValueXMLToLastActor)
 when adding an actor via movie import
 * the posibility to fill additional field data for the last added actor
 
 [scripting feature] (* AddFieldValueToLastEpisode / * AddFieldValueXMLToLastEpisode)
 when adding a episode via via movie import
 * the posibility to fill additional field data for the last added episode
 
 [scripting feature] (* AddFieldValueToLastMovie / * AddFieldValueXMLToLastMovie)
 when adding a movie via persons filmogarphy import
 * the posibility to fill additional field data for the last added movie

 [scripting feature] 
* real RegEx
* a php like funtion flip array which changes key/val to val/key is sometimes very helpful
* posibility to share functions withhin an extern script file
 so i dont have to rewrite them al the time

 [Option]
 when adding an actor via movie import
 * add new ones; on existing ones only overwrite role and add url
 
 [plugin settings]
  * custom plugin settings via batch import
   ( this means the settings of a plugin can different from main settings
     when it is called via batch import
     so it will behave diffrent from calling it directly
     I would need this in a lot of cases)
 
  [screenshoots, poster...]
  * image sorting (let be the first image the default one)
 
  [Option}
  when viewing movies (a limited "clear fields" option aka "clear persons")
  * delete all persons from this movie/s
 
  [Option}
  when viewing movies (a limited "clear fields" option aka "clear connections")
  * delete all connections from this movie/s
 
  [skinning]
  * background images
  * box, image shaddows (like browser behaivior)
  * popup tabs buttons (like double click on screenshoots, poster ... with fadeIn,fadeOut would be great)
   
  [generally]
  it would be a very nice thing to have a ini file 
  aka "new_databas.ini"
  * where all customfield are stored
    so when we generate a new empty DB
    all those fields will be generated automaticly
  * also for default list-items
  * also for visible data-fields
  * and for plugin-settings
  * .... image-path etc.
 
  if we would have independent movie templates
  [assign templates]
  * assign independent template to selected movies
  * assign independent template to all episodes
  * assign independent template by category, genere ....
 
  thats my pers. wishlist so far
 
 
  and once again
, thanks nostra
  thanks for the app
  the best p.MovieDatabase I know out there

PS. minor bug on
[skinning]
when a costum field is assigned to the main tab or any other tab
then custom tab disapears completly

one thing I forgot
as it would be realy useful  for the webpage I curently trying to parse
in a lot of times they return so many results
but they limited the results to view on 10 per page
and I did not found any way till yet to change that ...
(this page has a 1m searchstring 
but they have allmost all of the old goodies  ( movie lang: german only)
but the site it self is multilang german / english also the descirptions,
what a challenge )

So it would be very helpfuly on certain website
to be able to add navigetion buttons to the search form

AddSearchHint (Hint :String);

AddSearchTitleButton (State : Byte; Increment : Integer; URL :String; MT : Byte);
(automaticly on movie/person search)  Result := prList;
(automaticly on image search)  Result := prListImage;

States:
1 :first page jump (increment not needed)
2: high jump back
3: low jump back
4: low jump forward
5: high jump forward
6: last page jump (increment not needed)
MT : 0=GET; 1=POST;

or if possible ( the short way )

AddPagerTitleButton (fP : Byte; curP, lastP , hits : Integer; URL%S : String; MT : Byte);
(automaticly)  Result := prList/prListImage;

fP ..... : firstpage 0=zero; 1=1; (some times the first page is zero)
curP .. : a positive integer value for the curent page
lastP . : a positive integer value for the last page
URL ... : URL string containg "%i" to fill in the increment and "%s" for the title
MT .... : 0=GET; 1=POST;

By the way it would be nice to have the posibility to force
whether the origtitle or the title is injected to the search string
maybe like "%t"(title)  OR  "%ot"(origtitle)
