Post A few small things about Movienizer 4
Overall, this program is wonderful. It does what it is supposed to do. It does what I ask it to do. But, there are a few things I'd like to see "changed" to make it look cleaner.

1. On the movie/tv series page on the left side you have the cover picture. Under it is the logos of the websites used for getting information. I have only been using the IMDB, the TVDB and DVDEmpire. the IMDB and DVDEmpire logos show correctly. The TVDB just shows "TheTVDB" in text with no logo. I did download the logo in JeF's thread when he added this script, but the image did not show up in MZ 3.3 or in 4. And I did place the logo image in the same directory as the other logos are in. (Movienizer/Pictures)

2. On the same page. In MZ 3.3 the first image shown under the "IMDB rating" was the back cover if you added one. In MZ 4 it now only shows up in the "Editing/Pictures" tab. Can you add this back to the main movie/show page?

3. Same thing as number 2 kinda. Below the "shots from the movie" in MZ 3.3 there were links to "photos" and "posters."
Can you please re-add them to the main page in MZ 4?

4. While I am mentioning photos, there is no "photos" tab under "Editing/Pictures." The images marked "photo" show up in the "all" tab, but there is no "photos" tab. I have hundreds of images marked "photo" that are kinda "lost" in MZ 4.

5. What is a "backdrop?" :D

6. When updating a person's IMDB entry the "Add/Update" window says 'Searching the Internet for the movie's info."
It should say person's instead of movie's. Just a little nitpicking on my part.

7. And getting a little more nitpicky info should be information. :D

8. On the home page it reads "Movies in collection:" It would be nice if it said "Movies/TV Series in collection:"

9. My count at number 8 shows 756. Now about 150+ of those are TV Series. I have anywhere from 1 to 156 individual episodes linked under each TV Series. It would be nice to see something saying how many individual files are linked within those 756 Movie/TV Series entries. I am not sure if this is possible.


Thanks for writing a great program that I use daily. None of these things will make it perform differently. They are all cosmetic things that bother me and would enhance the use of this program.

You should not only copy the logo to the pictures folder, you should also insert it into your database, i.e. run an SQL query. JeF has a detailed description for it.

Covers take much space, and thus shots from movies cannot be seen. So now only shots from the movies are displayed. Of course, an option can be added to switch between the modes.

There are Shots and Posters tabs on the movie page in Movienizer 4.

Photo is a type of picture used only with persons.

Thanks for responding Vlad. I would like the option to add the back cover to the movie page. All your other answers clear things up for me. I had seen the tabs on the movie pages, but had a brain freeze when I noticed the links missing below the shots from the movie.
