Hi,
aftere a view weeks without doing much with XMM I'm back to the program. I'm not up to date with XMM 8 so I'm wondering if XMM 8 is now usable or if it is still better to use XMM 7? I don't think XMM 8 is full program now but who knows  What is the status of XMM 8?
regards

Hi Saphir,
Thought I'd give importing from XMM7 to a new XMM8 DB. All went well even handled all my TV shows just fine. Still doing some looking around but as far as I can see it worked quit well. Gotta say I'm impressed. Still a few bugs in XMM 8 at the moment and a few differences to figure out but Ale and all his many clones are working over time to satisfy all of us. I believe he's headed in the right direction and with everyone help we'll get there soon. |

Hi Trixster,
so you didn't import from version 7, that is for me most importend because I put a lot of work into the database of version 7. If the new 8 is working much better it's good to hear but I will still wait a bit before I really change to 8. |

Hi everyone,
I'm Trixster, I seemed to have lots of problems with XMM 8 for a bit too. But,the latest version 8.0.39 seems to be working well. I just created a new database and let XMM 8 scan all the files and no problem. Just make sure all the options are set correctly and the tv show episodes are in the right format and it's all good. At least for me it did just what I told it to. I didn't bother to import from XMM 7. |

Hi,
usability is in the eye of the beholder. So you have to check the changelog for a decision. For me there is some kind of improvement (e.g. quickedit is back) but it's still not usable (see my other postings, e.g. xMM8 simply fails in importing all info from xMM7 correctly). xMM7 for me is by far the better program and I'm not sure if I can get familiar with xMM8 in the near future.
Just my 2 cents
