Hello Alessio,
as there were many updates the last weeks (Thank you!) I think it's time to bring back some old suggestions and feature requests into view:
1. I'm missing a support for DVD Box Sets & Multi-Disc Releases:
http://www.binaryworks.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3357
2. Structure of data fields can be improved, most of all TV series should have the same data fields and features:
http://www.binaryworks.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2366
3. Since DivxManager 0.3 (the first version of you fantastic program I've used) I requested a print option for DVD covers.
4. Fit to screen for covers (as in xMM 4.8)
5. Text editor for editing data fields like plot etc. (as in xMM 4.8)
6. The whole x(html) export stuff needs a redesign (or total replacement by improved html-export or a SQL+PHP solution)
Bye Byte and Happy Coding

Hi Mawu!!
quote:
- deleting movies from box-sets: I'm I right that the way to de-assign movies from box-sets is to assign the movie to the "blank" in the menu for box-set selection? If yes, I think this will be to difficult to understand for normal users. If no, how to to the deassignment in an other way?
I have add the string "[Remove Boxset]" instead of the blank string, should be more comprensible.
quote:
- in box-set edit menu the movies tab disappeared. Was this intended or will there be a comeback of this tab in a way that we have an multi-disc overview for the box-set?
Yes, I have remove it until I will do it, I have forget the first time to hide it
quote:
- Is there a way to sort box-sets in treeview alphabetically (like in the My entire collection tree)?
I will do this in the next release.
Thank you as always Mawu!!

Hi Alessio,
just tested the new 6.3 Build 2.
My comments (only critical ones, in general I'm very happy with this new feature  ):
- my problem with box-sets in the "my entire collection" tab could be easyly solved by just pressing the reload button. Then I works like a charm.

About the My Collection Tab, BoxSets should work here, what is exactly the problem?
When I clicked on the icon in the tree nothing happens, no display of Boxsets. But I will take a second look on this - maybe I've overseen something.
Thank you and Happy Coding

Hi Mawu,
I will add the possibility to import BoxSets info with script in future, it will take some time add all the new functions to engine.

Hello Alessio!
Thank you for the integration of the box-set feature in the new xMM 6.3.1. I just tested it a little bit and liked it very much - perfectly integrated into the whole program environment.
But - as always - some critics and suggestions:
- the "add boxset" icon in the menu bar should be put into the second place as "add movies" has a higher priority
-data fields: almost perfect; maybe a number of discs field would be fine or - even better - a solution I described in TOPIC_2366 for multiple-disc movies
- when assigning a movie to a box set there is a message about multiple changes. This is a little bit confusing and I think people don't know what to to when this message appears
- de-assign from box-set is missing, also deleting box-sets
- "Movie" tab in "add/edit boxset" window is empty even when a movie is assigned to this boxset; maybe here there should be an option to browse movies for assigning to the box-set additionally
-assignment is a little bit "rough" a the moment. I assigend two movies to a box set and in the boxset view surprisedly every movie of my database appears in the movie table when selecting this boxset (I had to delete the box-set entry in access)
-box-set in "My entire collection" doesn't work in this release (but I think it's not implemented at the moment)
- box-set feature for TV series would be great
- Is it possible to import data by script for box-sets? I can't test this at the moment as my internet pc here has no xMM installed.
Overall the implementation of this feature is very promising for dvd collectors and goes far beyond the functional range of the competitors (only dvd profiler works just as well at the moment).
Thank you and Happy Coding

Hi Mawu!
Thank you as always for your precious suggestions!
I think I will start to work on BoxSets, I will add fields you specify in the topic 3357.
Thank you!
