Last weekend I stumbled upon a very very old version of our favourite movie manager. In sommer 2001 I discovered a little program that was announced on the legendary Doom9 website. Its name was DivxManager 0.3. I tested the tool together with some other programs of the same genre (Movie Collector, Movie Libary) and made some suggestions by mail. Surprisingly I got an answer and some of my suggestions were already integrated in the next version. From now on I was a fan and sent 5 € although the program was freeware at that time. Here is a screenshot of the oldest version I've stored on an old CD:
The program was developed very quickly and changed name (to extreme Movie Manager) and status (from freeware to shareware):
Although the program became better and better there were also some "lapse of taste" on the way to the beautiful swan like in xMM 4.8 (the icon bar!). The metamorphose began with xMM 5 and leads to the new, modern, beautiful extreme Movie Manager 7.
