Curious

Why is there an entry in the countries filter called 'JapanDid You Know?'

Ive never watched the movie that comes up. What is its significance?

It means that you haven't upgraded to version 2.99.9

I just want to chime in and say I had no problem with "Meet Bill" and the country filter of Japan.

But, I am curious if my non-functioning scroll wheel while using this program is normal?

Also, the choice of actor/actress images, who decides? For example, I would hope to find a photo of Liz Taylor, bless her soul, during her cinematically successful years than of one several decades later.

It's not normal. I am in the process of rewriting the scrolling for the next version. If you still have problems with the next update, please tell me.

It's mostly the person who contributes the picture who decides. The first contributor has priority: once we have a picture, I will only accept to replace it by another contribution if that contribution is significantly better. I don't want to spend my time going back and forth. Adding contributions takes time, you know.

It's a matter of taste. The current picture is fine, so I won't change it.

But you can contribute character pictures to show how Liz Taylor (bless her soul) looked in her most successful movies.

Character pictures are currently displayed inside movies casts, and I'll soon improve Coollector to show character pictures inside persons filmographies too (the character picture will take one quarter of the movie poster, and when you'll zoom with the mouse, the 2 pictures will be shown next to each other).

Sorry if i gave the wrong impression.

I wasn't suggesting that there was a problem with the program.
Was just wondering why 'Japan Did You Know' and not 'Japan' for the movie 'Sister Street Fighter, Fifth Level Fist' [1980].

Adding contributions takes time

For some reason I always assumed you had a custom ftp client to update your images.

I don't accept contributions blindly + many new contributors don't name the pictures correctly + I often crop some parts of the image + I must generate the big and the small version + I must upload to our image servers (plural, there are several) with my slow connection + I send a message to say "thank you" or to explain why I rejected some contributions + etc...

Yes, it takes some work. But contributions are appreciated, and I take this opportunity to thank all our contributors !
