Personal Video Database

Good, will have a look at the german (and maybe english) one

ad 1. (not in search) Got it, thank you. Did not expect the "containing" to be clickable. 

ad 2. (large/standard option) Also IMPawards. Right now, there is first the selection "which posters" and then - if available - for each poster again whether it should be standard or large. Lots of clicks. It leads to the user choosing the option silent download of all images.
But this is nothing of first priority, just another little extra.

ad 3. (reset search) Ok, got this one, too, thanks. Good Button. BUT it is not very intuitive: If you click on the right side of the internet search field, it means "go searching". Clicking to the right side of the database search field means "reset standard view". And both fields are next to each other, on the same line. Or is this just me?


Lastly, a short question. I just imported hundreds of movies from external drives and optimized the process. I could give a short list/description for new users how I think it can be done efficiently (what works, what not in view of the results returned) and I have some ideas for minor improvements. Would this be useful for anyone here?

Background to my question: I am pretty sure that I have the same movies twice somewere (on a different disc).
Upon importing movies, when a similar record has been found, the following dialogue pops up.



So here come my questions:

1.: This line describes the entry I would like to create right now, correct? But for what the ID number at the beginning?

2.: "Add new". Here a new entry will be created. I think I can just press ok. without having chosen this. If so, what's the difference?

3.: These are existing entries in the database. Are hidden entries included here? Also, some movies exist in several versions, for instance Thomas Crown Affair in a nineties and sixties version. I might have a dupicate to one or the other. What happens now if I select one entry and press ok. Is the original entry going to be completely overwritten or does the new entry just take the info from the exisiting entry? If it takes the info, will I still see where the old entry had been saved (for example disc G - otherwise I would still have the duplicate on the disc, but without entry to trace it. Also, I might have overwritten the sixties with the nineties version.)

4.: I don't think I have this movie ever imported. Why does it appear - is it one of the hidden entries?

I hope question 3 is clear, as this is my key issue here. I would appreciate any help.

When I tried the program for the first time, I almost skipped in since I found many (minor) german spelling mistakes in the menus. Also, the cases are sometimes not correct (depends sometimes on the context of the menu option). It left me with first the impression, that the program must be very beta. I was wrong in this, of course.

I would like to help correcting them. German is my mother language. What's the easiest way for you to implement such changes? A list like in the first post?

Danke schön!

Thank you for your answer! You seem to be a bedrock for this forum.

I obviously don't know enough to just ask a proper question. A follow-up one, if I may: So the script would need updating like any other, if the site allmovie changes? I ask to understand a little (little) bit better what's going on.
