Just installed 3.154 today to fix problems of scraping movies from IMDB with 3.087. You have been busy.
Not too many problems getting used to the new layout. Is there not an edit window now? just edit on the main screen and do quick save?
I have had it hang a couple of times today while trying to rescrape or change movie or add poster. Sometimes I could kill it with the mouse on the X, but a couple of times I had to use Windows Task Manager (XP sp2).
The version number in the upper right corner now stays within the frame.
Most problems have had to do with one of the poster sites offering random posters even after MC has figured out the proper name of the movie. This seems worse with movieposterdb, although on one film that the scraper cannot find any proper posters, Woody Allen: A Life in Film, I get both nonsense posters suggested by mpdb, and IPA hangs.
On another movie, The Taming of the Shrew (1967), both tmdb and IMDB offer good posters, but for both of them some of the posters in the bottom row have their radio buttons hidden by the edge of the frame.
I also miss the pixel size, since I use posters to make my own fanart sometimes, and now I have to download the poster to see if it has enough pixels to work, although the preview does more or less the same thing.
I have not tried tv shows yet, since I have been maintaining them with 2.292, since 3.087 and 2.292 could both run at the same time. When I tried to load 3.154 with 2.292 running it refused. Is there anything that 2.292 could do that 3.154 cannot? Like making its own posters? I want to know exactly what I will lose if I start managing tv shows with 3.154.
Couple of minor spelling errors on /Preferences/General/ :
"Maximum ammount" should be "Maximum amount"
"Bowse to prefferred" should be "Browse to preferred"
Thank you for the great program. I could not manage my collection without it.
