Haven't tried it but since they all started showing up after I moved the directory, I would assume that they would go to that directory "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Coollector\Images\MoviesDpt" I'll figure out how to download a pic and give it a try.

As you browse the database, pictures are downloaded if you don't already have them on disk. The easiest way to download new pictures is to click movies you haven't clicked already and the cast pictures will get downloaded.

I'm afraid those new pictures will go into MoviesDpt\MoviesDpt again.

It looks very much like a bug that I'll need to fix (once I'll have understood it).

Ok, at work tonight, no access to that machine from here but I will work with it tomorrow and let you know what happens.

Sorry for the delay, so I've tested several movies, clicking on them and found that the new images are downloaded to the MoviesDpt folder, not the MoviesDpt\MoviesDpt folder so all looks good.

One other question I have is on the reliability ratings, looking through the help file I'm unable to determine if there is a set range, like 0 to 100 or is there no upper limit to the reliability setting. I'm trying to figure out what I should set my minimum reliability rating to. Thanks

Ok, that's fine. Weird, but fine.

There's no upper limit. If you've rated a lot of movies (the app knows a lot about your tastes) and if a movie is very popular (a lot of other users have rated it), then the reliability can be up to several thousands.

The initial reliability is 80, but as you rate more movies I highly suggest that you increase it to get a more satisfactory list of recommendations. You should try several values and see what you'll like, there's no rule.

Personally I've rated 2,700 movies and if I set the limit to 1,000 I still get 5,600 predicted ratings. I don't miss the tens of thousands of predictions that are removed, I find the list more useful in the end.


P.S: did you see I've implemented the Alt + T keyboard shortcut ?
