Warning! This is gonna be a pretty long thread...About a year ago i suggested using html to format Coollector's printed lists.

Could a feature be added to export a movie collection to a simple small and portable html? That would really help when showing movies to friends etc
Indeed, it had never occurred to me, but the simplicity of this idea is brilliant.
It's so easy to do, I'll give it a try very soon.
Thank you very very much !
At another point you mentioned exporting to a data file then adding transformations.

We'll proceed in several stages:
1) add a feature to export to XML (in a few months from now).
2) allow to apply XSLT transforms to the XML => to get an HTML file (shortly after).
2 days ago while reading some old posts i got to thinking. Why don't I try my hand at creating a HTML file for Coollector lists. Using a .Json file (eliminates the need for xml parsing) as my source i created a HTML application that would allow me to browse all movies in the list from Google Chrome.
Features (that i can remember from the top of my head):- All movie/coollection data is loaded from the json file
- Show's list title e.g. "You own Videos of 230 movies and series"
- Shows owned/not owned via movie title font colour.
-
drag and drop enabled-
selected movie gets a white border on grid- Automatically uses blank movie poster if no image link is provided
- Tooltips show what will happen on clicking icons
- Movie posters can be loaded from default image location or specified folder
- links to youtube, imdb and tv.com work when present in data file
- shows wished and ordered status
- shows loaned information on hover when available
- rated icon changes to suit rating
- play button shows list of owned videos loaded from data file
- plays video files using VLC plugin or provides link to download/open locally where available
- shows synopsis (loaded from data file)
Stuff i haven't gotten around to:- Scrollbar not yet programmed
- movie titles sometimes overflow their bounds
