Good morning MariusTh86,
All checked, thanks!... and we will bear with you so this could become the greatest Media Manager one day!
Answers from -New-:
1) Installed cocoa version again and it's going OK. I know that the sudden crashes and hangs will get fixed eventually in further iterations. I know you are working on that and I thank you for letting us all know about the progress and project schedule.
2) I mean when I press the minus sign at the left bottom of main pane, so I can delete a show or movie, it presents me with a drop down window asking whether I want to keep the files or send 'em to the bin. I select keep the files, but the show or movie still appears on the left column of the main pane. Then I do a refresh (update list) thinking in that this would finally remove the deleted items from the main pane, but it didn't. It only removes the items after I removed the whole source (folder) from preferences and then trigger an update list on main pane. Thoughts
New Observations
1) 720 resolution icon: What the 720-resolution icon option at the very bottom of the Extras tab on preferences pane is for/what does it refer to? Under what circumstances shall I check it?
2) Option to undo changes done by fetching on a per-file basis and for all at once: The first step after setting a movie folder in ViMM, is to try find the movies online and fetch metadata. The difficulty here results from the fact that ViMM writes the metada obtained from fetching, replacing the name of each movie folder (and its movie file too if the option is selected) with the newly found. The only current resource to quickly tell if the metada fetching has thrown wrong results, is to do a visual comparison between the new movie title and year, and the ones appearing on the video file, which is why the bottom path bar is so useful. If they don't match or if some extra wrong metadata is present, such as wrong poster or actor names or plot, then I would like to have a way to revert what the fetching did to that file in particular, with just a click. It could speed up the whole process of setting up the library by many times. And if not possible, then at list a way to visually mark that movie as wrong metadata (in big letters or strong colours) and again, with just a click. This way every time I see a sign saying for instance "wrong metadata" for a movie, I know it needs to be reviewed some other day to manually input the info locally or online on the databases. Same for those movies whose metadata wasn't found at all: a big sign saying "Not Found", likewise when you want people to notice something that could be useful to them, such as in real state, they use a big "FOR SALE" and in strong colours.
Best,
CF
