hey Alessio, by the latest version (that fixed covers for non english characters) everyting that i tried seems work well. i didnt gave up xmm4.8 yet, but will do soon.
so, when i adding my movies from dvds (that includes multiple films) xmm shows and adds movies in alphabetical order. but i would like to have sorting movies in this window (via up down arrows maybe) so xmm can add movies the order which i want.
i would appreciate if you can add this feature (and would be happy tp see very soon  )
thanks to you for this great program

hi aleesio, i didnt get any answer, so i'll bump this one
to make it clear, what i really need is
-an easy way to change a movie's movieID (not automatically i want to enter number manually) field (also the name of cover). i know it's possible to that even now but cover names doesnt update, and it is hard to double click each movie, enter new value, press exit/save buton, press refresh.
-a better way is choosing movieID at the time of adding movie (by scanning CD/DVD)
and a bug (i guess). there are two options for cover naming. when you choose only using movieID field and change the number of a movie and add another movie with the same movieID, what you get is wrong covers.
here is a step by step explanation
1.add movie "myMovie" from dvd(with frame capturing), and get the movieID 5.
2.change myMovie's movieID to 4 (which leaves cover name as 5.jpg)
3.add movie "myMovie2" from dvd(with frame capturing), and get the movieID 5.
after that point cover names messed up. hope i made it clear.
thanks in advance

Hi Huttican,
Sorry for my late reply!
I will try to do the arrows to move up and down movies, but I don't know if I can do this or not.
About covers: as you wrote, if you change the MovieID and you have set the cover only with MovieID, you will get a wrong cover associated with the movie.
I don't know exactly why so much users need to change the MovieID  , this should be used only by XMM to store unique informations
Btw, I will try to take a look at this problem.
Thank you!
Alessio |

thanks for the reply
you are right about movieID should be used only by xMM, but in xmm 4.x there was no such thing ad catalogNo (as far as i know) and i used movieID as catalogNo and all my cd/dvds have that number written on them, and sometimes i need to update some of them, that's why i need this kind of functionality.
and a note from another developer, from my experience when you show some information to users they will want to ability to change that ( rule of "i shall have the power", sad but true ).
i hope you can find a way to do that.
thanks again for this beautiful program.
