I would like to see more control over individual options that already exist in the software. It should be able to be configured to suit the end-user's needs.
For example:
Turn on or off - "Roles" for actors,
Minimize program window while it busy (send to background),
Turn on or off automatic filling of "Media Location",
Batch (anything) should work...
Updating "Unfilled Only" fields should do just that, not overwrite everything, etc.

This application is amazing! It is a treasured tool that I would not want to be without; even with its' limitations. I have tried several other cataloging applications and can honestly say that AMM is my favorite of them all.

Give the end-user more control over individual elements and some new templates :roll: , and I will be forever grateful.

1:

Get more details and have a options for have many actors you wanna show in movie card. I want to have shown maybe 10 actors in movie card but i wanna have all details in database so when i search movies by xxx actor it finds all movies with him.

2:

fix the diacritics problem already, i have more than 10 thousands movie in my database and its all f.... up now.

3.

as i have a large database it's becoming really slow, i don't even look actors info by now. Just took a test it takes 52 sec to open actors info, for the first time, all others opening are about 10 sec long, it's just too slow. Opening program for the first time is really slow (i usually have it open all the time). Backup is about 30 min long. Worst of it is movie searching for the first time, it takes about 15 sec, but all other times it takes 2-3 sec. I'm planing to buy SSD so i hope i won't have this problem (my computer in general is not that bad).

4.

file rename function (movie title, year)

5. Field for my grade of film (i would prefer blue star and rating by it) , i didnt put my ratings in custom field becouse i was hoping you would make this field.

6. Getting information about cinematographer, music, editor... information about awards (oscar, cannes, berlin, venice...)

I would like to see a X near search box to clear entries, then default back to first movie in the list after the clear x is clicked.

1. Fix the inoperable Export feature which just throws out an E-fail under any category.
2. Answer support emails. At present, they are just ignored, even when writing to Max.

Will the database still be restricted to the 2GB size?
Will we be able to build bigger databases than the current max size of 2GB?

Hi, Viki!
Yeah, the limit will be the same, but it is not a limit, if you store pictures outside the database.

Thank you, Gemini!!!!

I double checked the expert settings and changed the setting to NOT store images inside the database.

4324 movies:
Before - 1050796 KB (1.002 GB)
After - 188400 KB (0.179 GB)

This single tip is probably the best news for me to date! :shock: :D

(I forgot to mention that the program opens a lot faster, too.)

it will be a dream if when adding movies in digital files to AMM, it will run something like MediaInfo (mediaarea.net) to analyse the media file, so AMM will automatically be able to populate the media information related fields .
file type, video encoding, sound tracks, subtitles and so on.....

Hi, Aircut!
The program uses medianifo.dll to populate all the media info fields.

Hi
I would like to see extended support to create own plug-ins. That you can develop them not only in Delphi, but also in C# using visual studio. Now you can only use Delphi, because the exported functions of the plugin uses far, not stdcall calling convention.
Best regards

Hi Gemini;
I wanna point out some of my desired modifications for AMM8:

1- The English title of movies are very imperative. In current version only the original title is shown. Also, it's groovy to have an excel column (in export section) containing "English title".

2- Automatically obtaining the movie information & cover after a batch import from hard disk. (one by one)

3- File renaming is a fascinating option.


thanks for you consideration
regards
