I recently bought eXtereme Movie Manager #8211; I think that app is very helpful but the most irritating thing is time of selection in movies grid #8211; after click on movie I must wait 3-5 seconds #8211; it looks like that selection of movie and data load of movie card is put in main GUI thread or background thread that is loading data has too much priority. If I#8217;m guessing right I propose to load movie details in separate thread with low priority or maybe fix some performance issue with load / render data in HTML view. |

I have 1600 movies and each movie have full movie info downloaded from IMDB (with actors). I admit that this is large database. I'm a programmer and I know how data is stored (or should be :) ) in data base - size of DB shouldn't be a problem because in typical solution there is a table with basic movie info with is connected to linking table of movieToActors table and this table directs to each actor - this is rather direct link and no long search is needed. I think the problem is in getting images in the same execution thread and this block UI. Of course this is only theoretical thinking and I only wanted to write that with full info (with actors pictures) working with app is irritating and it would be nice to fix this :). |

Hi,
Who many movies/actors do you have in your database?
How you can imagine, when you select a movie, XMM must search in the actor database the info of every actor and link the cover. is not a problem of picture render, is a matter of searching actors in a big database.

After posting this I figure it out on my own :)... but this is not the solution - I would like to have pictures of actors - maybe solution is in render the card without pictures and get them in background one by one and render after download (just like searching work in Vista) |

Please check, if you let show the actor's pics. If so, then click on the icon in HTMLCards titlebar to turn that feature off. |
