Topic: MyMovies

[Achim]

I'm preparing the conversion right now.

Might take some time to get used to it, but man am I tired of Invelos.
BTW: did anyone notice that Ken last logged in 3 days ago.
I at least hope that he personally is OK.

I may be switching as well, at least I'd get a native Mac App. Of course I would miss my watched banner, but things could be worse. One thing I still need to check with My Movies are watched events though; even with the banner I want them properly tracked (at least more than one event per disc).

In the Mac version, I can't find an import option

[EdwinK]

the current DVD Profiler import is going to be deprecated.

Instead, we will be adding a website that lets you import directly into the user account on the online service, which you then can import into the application.

This also means that the option to import only data will disappear, and left will only be the option to fully convert the collection.

This new importer will be abl to import all personal fields as well.

Seems not to be possible at the moment.
All I found (yet) was the option to flag/unflag the "Watched"-status, no dates, no way to add multiple views.

Stopped conversion and decided to stay with DVDProfiler and if only strictly local.

Reason:
1) My IMDb-allergy.
The whole database is completely IMDb infested. Depending on your PoV this might even be something positive, for me it's negative.
2) Usability
No matter what I clicked on at import, I couldn't bring the program to import the cast/crew data from the *.xml file. The program always downloaded the data from their maindatabase.

What I liked:
- SQL-database with simultaneous multi-user access
- The simplicity with which crew-data is handled (only very basic crew roles)

I might try it again when the promised new import tool is ready.
Until then I don't want to lose my hard-earned data.
