Hello All,
Regular fan of Extreme Movie Manager running the latest version.
I wanted to sort the default column view in the order of movies as they were released (earliest to the latest), so I can choose which ones in the recent past I have not seen from my database.
For this reason obviously the release date seemed to be most appropriate choice. 'Date inserted' can be tricky sometimes since I have also inserted a lot of old movies in the collection.
The release date is inserted in Custom-2 field, and unfortunately it is a text string instead of a date field. Hence I guess no release date wise sorting cannot be done. The date on IMDB page is also mentioned as dd-mmm(full name alphabet)-YYYY, which is a text string and imported ditto, maybe some conversion is required to convert it in actual date mask/field.
Secondly I have all my database (>2000 movies) updated for Italian release dates (i overlooked the option to choose country in the IMDB.complete script). So is it a way now I can only update the release date for all the movies quickly for another country instead of reimporting all the information which obviously would take a huge amount of time.
Would appreciate your guidance for the issues mentioned.
Thanks. |
