last added entries are marked bold
Bugs:
Movie import:
- empty imported fields (as example Custom9) will cause to add the same info of the previously imported movie. At least this variable isn't cleared after delivery. Or isn't voided before import. Maybe there are more fields that behave this way...
- while importing actors or movies you are able to switch between import window and XMM window. That's missing on importing TVShows
Actor import:
- corrected names by import doesn't correct the movies in database
- update progress is not shown (imported actors: x/y)
- options of the IMDB scripts are switching from IMDB complete to series the option Languages contains 12!!! (=takeactors from complete?)
- additional pics at imdb for actors is not set (default=0) but takes 1 additional pic (option from another IMDB script?)
- when in actors table but the HTML card shows a movie then the update window shows the scripts for movies!!! (Thats normal, I mean that XMM open the import window of the last thing you have show (Movies, TVShow or actors)
BUT then the list to search for is wrong as it shows the selected grid and not the category that will be searched for by XMM! Please disable the not importable sections!
Miscellaneous:
- QuickEditView is only available for movies! When you are in the actors table you see there always the last selected movie's data!!!
- Multiple edit: the number of selected entries is missing - solved on version 7.1.3.7
- UTF-8 chars on start of XMM instead of file not found - solved on version 7.1.2.9
Interface:
- check the length of the labels see example by Radioactive
- change the Chapter database field and the story for episodes to type: Memo solved on version 7.1.3.7
- Update Manager should disable the change between movies, shows and actors as only the one displayed in MainGrid is working
- Some DATE fields are automaticaly filled with the time 12:00:00 AM
- TumbnailView doesn't load the saved cover size
Feature Requests:
- cross references between movies by VAR = COLLECTION_MOVIES(id).fieldname and movieID=COLLECTION_MOVIES.FIND(moviename[, year])
- separated director import and info plus movies in database
- script updates: add script's language in description
- script updates: option to never show/update special scripts
- Advanced Options for serie scripts
- possibility in MagicScript to add pictures at desired position: at the end, at the beginning or replace first. For all #TAKEx# picture commands
- on renumbering the movie ids the filenames has to be changed, too
- Changing checkbox "3D" to combobox for 2D (standard), 3D and 3D-only
- POST command for MagicScript
- a possibility to add info on demand to already existing one (appending at the end of previously imported data)
- "Cleaning" of the backups: keep a maximum amount of.../remove backups older than... + Do the automatic backup on exiting XMM instead of on startup.
- Add a function to MagicScript to import from "file://"
- Add an addition to the config for storing API keys (THEMOVIEDB.ORG(API) and THEMOVIEDB.ORG[Actors](API))
- Add a statistic for actors
- Add more picture categories. Especially movie posters! (See detailed feature request)
- While adding new movies there should be a check if the movie is already in database
- Save Advanced Settings for the scripts
- Add multiple changes for Category to the context menu
ToDo:
[should be filled by Ale] |

That could be a misunderstanding on your part, because it working correctly for me. 1 Image is always taken by the Script.
There is no replace function for the first image in magic script, images are always added to the existing images of an data set! That is true for all image imports with the only exception of the episode images, these are always replaced by a new imported image. |

Yes, Prince. But the option was set to 0 on a "fresh" actor and the result was 2 pics. Maybe I didn't have written that clear enough.
I think it's a problem of XMM itself as you can see on this bug:
- switching from IMDB complete to series the option Languages contains 12!!! (=takeactors from complete?) |

Anyways:
I think it would be a good idea to add the possibility to at least import new images as first not last image or even better add a new (optional) parameter to all the image import functions:
#TAKEPICTURE#
#TAKEPICTUREINMOVIES#
#TAKEPOSTER#
#TAKEPOSTERBACK#
#TAKEPOSTERFANART#
#TAKEPOSTEREPISODE#
with which you can select how a image is add:
0=add as last image (like it is at the moment)
1=add as first image
2=replace first image |

@Radioactive:
The length is a matter of the used script. In fact that is a normal text box and contain alphanumerical letters.
Cover, back cover and fanart can be changed by the plugin "CoverManager".
The plugin "Serien Renamer" unfortunately can't be updated as the source code is lost.
The director feature is already in the request list (point 2)
@Prinz: You meant the options thingy? |

with the length i mean when xmm read it by the codes/file
for example the movie is 114 min long
the now xmm add to the length 114 (without the min)
but it would be cool if it would be add 114 min or so |

| I misunderstood the length thingy. He means what's added if read from the file (codec), not via script. |

Oh, then I have misunderstood it, too!
*Edit*
Added that function to the MovieLength tool. http://www.mediafire.com/?wsnbq38y0f24wgf |

One thing that I would declare as a Bugfix:
Change the Chapter Database Field to Typ: Memo
At the moment it's more or less useless because any text over 250 chars won't be saved. |

Hi,
I'm just trying to upgrade from xmm 6.8.3.0 to the latest version (7.1.4.3), but there seems to be something wrong with the conversion of the DB. The installation went smoothly, and subsequently I saw that the new version was converting the old DB, this took about a couple of minutes (approximately 3500 movies and 50 tv-series in the DB). Now it is trying to startup, but hangs at two windows: one says "This database if from an OLD Release of XMM, it will be automatically CONVERTED" (while the DB was already converted, at least that is what I believe it did). The other window says "An old copy of current database already exist, cannot continue with conversion. Default DB will be loaded." However, the default db is not loaded, when I press OK in either window, it keeps switching to the other window. To get out of this loop the only option is to kill the process in taskmanager. After that, there is a lot of flickering going on for more than a minute while the DB is being backupped. OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
No panic though, I still have a backup of the old database in another folder before starting this whole upgrade adventure.
Thx. |

| Please try to install the full version and not the update. Start XMM and use the Database Utilities: Convert from old 5.x and 6.x version. Maybe that will solve the converting problem. I don't know how long the procedure will take but there are several changes and additional fields in the version. |

One old Bug with the #ADDFILMOGRAPHY# Magic Script Function:
Some special chars for a Movie Filmography of an Actor cut the Movie Title short.
Example:
Jennifer Garner (http://akas.imdb.com/name/nm0004950)
In the Filmography the Movie:
Dude, Where's My Car? (2000)
is imported as:
Dude, Where's My Car
It's cut of because of the special char ? is imported as a | with the #ADDFILMOGRAPHY# Function:
The Database Entry is:
§Dude, Where's My Car| (2000)|http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0242423/§IMDB.COM (Complete).txt#
instead of:
§Dude, Where's My Car? (2000)|http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0242423/|IMDB.COM (Complete).txt#
Edit (26.02.2012): Bug is still there. Changed the explanation because there is a second wrong character in the string (§ instead of |) Manually changing the entry makes it display and work correctly. |
