1) Coollector work easily with database movies
can it work also with some other db for example
the italian one ?

This will mean that if the performing will be able to solve
this problem every custom might choose
the database to inquire.

2) More in the filters there aren't > and < so
if I want search movies from 2000 to 2009
I must choose every year
this is the same for the genre
(if I want search only 3 or 4 genre of movies
and not the others)

and finally

3) It will be interesting copy and paste some
name of movies o name of actor
in the browser used as Mozilla o Safari
but with the mouse select any name
is impossible

Coollector doesn't really "work with other movie databases". Coollector has its own database, and that database is in english, for english users, which makes it less convenient for non english users like you.

During 2013 (I hope before the summer, but I can't guarantee it), I'll start creating other language extensions. If you'll use the italian extension, then the program's interface will be in Italian, as well as the movie titles, the movie descriptions, and the movie posters.

Those extensions won't be fully functional right from the start, but they'll improve over time. At the beginning, they'll be a huge improvement for the movie titles, but most descriptions and posters will still be in English.

That's because the english database will remain the main database. The program will keep shipping with the english database, and the language extensions will be downloaded on demand. Those extensions will be much smaller than the english database, since they'll contain only the differences with the english database. And the many language-independant informations (the casts, the genres, the videos, etc...) will still be taken from the main (english) database, even if you're using a language extension.

Yes, that's an improvement that will be added this month.

You can already filter with 2 genres by clicking the "more filters" button to show the "genre2" filter.

In practice, I don't think it's worth having more than 2 genre filters (in my opinion, 3 or 4 would be overkill).

You can paste (Control + V) a value into Coollector's string search input, but it's true you can't copy from Coollector. The improvement that I plan to add is to allow right clicking a movie title, which would make appear a context menu to copy the movie title into the clipboard.
