Hi 
is it only me or do you other XMM8 users experience that particular bug, too?
Is it even a "bug" or merely a misunderstood feature on my part?
To provide some information:
On the "film" tab one can set the "STATUS" to "blank", "for sale", "own", "reference" or "wanted".
If you then go back to "tableview" and insert the "STATUS" column via "column chooser" you have the above mentioned effect.
I would assume to see the "text" instead a mere ID#!?
Cheers, Marry Christmas and A Happy New Year to us all!

Well, it's a bit of both. 
XMM has an internal list of its status values. It's a dedicated table in the database that looks like [status id] [status description]. For your movies and series XMM adds the [status id] to each movie entry - and not the description.
To display not just a rather indescriptive number but something humans can easily understand XMM needs to do some magic (mapping the description to the corresponding id ).
It already works for the grid where you can add "Status Description" as a field. It does not work yet for tree view (--> http://www.binaryworks.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9928) and for exports. |
