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!
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 fieldsClient-Server supportCopy 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 scannerAs 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!
