Improvements and new features in Movienizer 4.4

Take a look at new Movienizer 4.4 version including the following improvements:

[!] The program starts much faster now due to several optimizations.

New optimized program launch engine allows you to start up Movienizer faster than ever.

[+] Added support for film series. For every movie, a movie series title and the number in the series can be added.

Since version 4.4 you can unite several films into a movie cycle. For example "Harry Potter" or "Star Wars" film series can be created due to new "Movie series" and "# in series" fields in the "Edit info" menu, "General" tab. You simply choose/create film series name and specify the movie number in this series so this information will be shown on the movie's page and if you click on the series name you will be redirected to the list of movies in the series:

Film series

[+] Added a new category, "Film series", for illustrated movie catalog for Dune.

After the creation of movie cycles you can add them to your Dune catalog with the help of new category "Film series". When you enter it you will see the covers of cycles created with all movies within.

Dune film series

[+] When creating a Dune movie catalog, it is now possible to create only new folders.

New "Recreate catalogs with movies if they exist" option was added to the second step of Dune catalog creation Wizard. Having unchecked this setting you can save a lot of time because directories of movies which are already in the catalog won't be recreated and only new entries will be added to it.

Recreate existing catalogs

[+] A new filter to list movies, movie series, or TV series.

Three new filters were added in the lower left corner under movies list enhancing the sorting capabilities of Movienizer. Now you can hide or show your movies, movie series or TV series.

Collection view mode

[+] In the image viewer, arrow keys can be used for browsing pictures.

Movienizer suggests more keyboard navigation for more convenience. Now you can list images from movies with arrow buttons, delete them with "Delete" key and switch to full resolution view with "Enter".

[+] A double click on the movie or person page will open the "Edit information" window.
