would it be possible to have the program save my set up choices each time i open the program? it's time consuming and a little annoying to have to reset the thumb size, Nb columns and style in movie list and then again in people list every single time i open the program. (and thanks for adding my movie selections :)

Normally the program remembers your settings.

What version are you using ? The normal version or the portable version ?

It's the version that you can install on a USB key. Where did you download the program from ?

Does the program remember the window size and position ?

Please make the test, set the main window to a certain size and a certain position, close Coollector, then open it again.

Does the program remember the window size and position ? yes, i did the test and yes it did remember size.

That's a good news, at least all isn't wrong. I'm busy right now releasing a new version of Coollector, but I'll come back to your problem later today.

(sorry, I've had a technical problem that prevents me to release the new version until tomorrow)


Please replace your current Coollector.exe with this one:

http://www.coollector.com/Coollector.exe

and tell me if you still have your problem.

i havent used or opened Coolector program in a while. If i update to the current version (update that opens when i open program), will that be the same as replacing my coollector.exe with the one you suggested?

Yes, it will be fine. I want to make sure that you use the latest version to know if this bug still exists or not anymore.

it still doesn't save my viewing preferences, meaning the smalled movie cover view, to the left, one on a row... it does save my program size, but not the ones i really want to save.

You mean that you set the grid layout to 1 column, with the smallest thumbnail size, am I correct ?

When you open the program, what layout do you get instead ?

Have you tried another type of layout to see if it is better remembered ?

Have you tried with all the grid, to see if some of them remember the layout ?

When you open the program, what layout do you get instead ? I don't remember excactly, but it's only covers, sort of large and about 3 across.

Have you tried another type of layout to see if it is better remembered ? no, i haven't tried other layouts. as it takes a while to close and open the program each time.

Have you tried with all the grid, to see if some of them remember the layout ?not sure what you mean?

OMG, i dnn't know why (i have one theory), but i just opened the program again, and my layout is the way i wanted it.
My theory: whenever i close the program i couldn't find a "file" "exit" option, as in most programs. but i was in the tools menu and saw "exit" so i exited that way.
does it make a difference how one exits the program??

If you kill the program from the task manager, yes, you prevent it from saving the settings. But I don't think that's what you did, because it wouldn't have saved the window position either.

To close the program gracefully, either you use the menu "Tools->Exit", either you close the window by clicking the red cross icon at the top right.
