First of all, thanks again for all the work, greatly appreciated! While I have a few things to complain about, coollector is absolutely the best movie database I've found so far.
Now for the complaining... I've thought about what exactly it is that bugs me, and I guess its just... I mean, don't take it the wrong way, but its just ugly. I think the whole GUI would greatly benefit from a major overhaul. Like, these standard windows GUI elements, they're huge, they're ugly, and they fit the rest of the design exactly 0%. Actually, even better than just the overhaul - make it really skinable! I know that that would be a _lot_ of work, but I think it would catapult coollector into a whole new ballpark...
I noticed that in the sort-options, there's no option to sort by my own ratings. That would be nice to have.
My last point is (well there were a few more, but then I noticed that coollector actually does have these features and I just didn't find them - it would be great if we could add titles (complete with posters and stuff) to the database. Maybe have two databases, one big one that you maintain, and another user-db independent of the other one, so that it would remain untouched after an update.
and that's it, back to working with it I just thought about a nifty way to deal with the language thing, since I have a lot of movies in different languages - Before I import them into coollector I make subfolders for german/english/french, so that when coollector asks for what language these movies are that I just imported, that feature really makes sense. I have no idea wh I didn't think of that before...
cheers,
Jo
