Hi Ator,
Yes, it's possible import all movies, tv series and actors.
I have fix several bugs in database importing, but if you found new please write me.
To import an old database you must go in "File"->"import"->"From old database"
Bye!

Screen Ratio does not seem to import, at least in 13.
Also might want to look over Date fields, like Date Purchased/Insert. These fields are being filled in with 1/1/1900. Specifically the Insert Date, where a date exists in my 4.8 database but was replaced with 1/1/1900 during the import.

Hi,
You must use the "Import"->"Import from old XMM Database" function to import your old database, you cannot open it directly.
Please let me know.

| Alessio i tried doing that and all it does is say its adding movies. For example. I selected one of my old database and it said it was adding my movies. So i left my computer on over night. 7 hours later it says its still adding movies and its at about 14,968 movies added. Alessio i only have 700 movies on that database. Something isnt right. |

Mmm, really strange.
Can you ZIP your database and send it to me?
Thank you,
Alessio |

Alessio,
In regards to newest 5.1.1.0 (Beta 1).
Screen Ratio looks good from my custom MovieCard. Even my Flipper discs that have moth Wide / Standard made the import! However when I open a movie to edit the Screen Ratio field is empty. Strange, shows in the my MovieCard view but the actual field is empty.
The only other thing right now in regards to 4.8 import is the Dates. At the Import Screen I selected the option to Convert To Date Format. Maybe that was the problem. Everything except Modify Date seems to be set at 1/1/1900.
Thanks Alessio.

I'm having problems converting the database too. The program imports some movies and another not. In one of my databases only 17 of the 77 movies are imported. Maybe it's because the name I put to the movies :the name of the serie and the chapters on it in order to know where they are, but there are movies whose names aren't repeated and they not appear either.
On my other database only 252 of my 256 movies are imported |

Hi!
For the database with 77 movies the problem is that you have used the Serie name. XMM "SEE" these movies like TV Series and doesn't import it.
For the other database, maybe you have 4 movies with the same problem as the first? Becaue it's strange that doesnt' import all movies.
Bye!

| So there is no way that I can use this new version of XMM without writing again all the movies in a new database? |

No, you can do it. If you know MS Access a bit, you can open your database and delete all information about series (select the column and press cancel).
If you don't know how to do this, ZIP and send to me your database.
Bye!

| I did it yesterday but it didn't worked. Maybe the problem it's with the database, because I've deleted all the fields on the movies table and I've put letters as movie's name and still the program only inports the same 17 movies. |

OK, send it to me if you can (ZIP it first), so I can take a look.
