Movie Label 2011 – A First Look

Posted on February 5, 2010 by johan.p

We feel Movie Label 2010 is a pretty complete product, so how do we improve it? We have been listening closely to our customers and worked hard to improve almost every part of Movie Label.

Alongside the update development for Movie Label 2010 during the last nine months, we have been working hard on the next major version of Movie Label. This time around we have been trying to improve everything, even the basics such as the handling of the views.

Note: If you purchase Movie Label 2010 today; you will receive Movie Label 2011 for free when it is released.

We wanted you, the blog readers, to get the first peak at what’s new in Movie Label 2011 (version 6):

Select view type for any view.

Totally new view handling

The view handling has been rewritten from the ground up in Movie Label 2011. We have also moved Wanted Items and Loans into the movie section (where we feel they belong). It is also possible to show any view as a list, as thumbnails or as cards.

New loan management

The loan management has been re-done and improved. Among other things we added Skype integration for quick, easy (and cheap) reminders.

Tons of improvements for movies on your harddrive

Multiple files can now be added to one movie (since a lot of people split their movies into several files). Technical data such as codec, video size, framerate, etc is automatically retrieved from the movie files.
The import routine has also been completely rewritten after closely listening to user feedback.

Movie Label automatically adds technical file data

Interface updates

A lot of effort has been put into making the interface better so a lot of dialogs have been re-designed.

In-program download preview

You can now preview movie information within the program before downloading data. Going to an external webpage is no longer needed to make sure you are downloading the correct movie (when there are several with the same title).

Searching and sorting improved

Searching and sorting has been improved by adding more search and sort capabilities to the wanted items and on loan views.

Print preview has received a big update (incl. PDF export)

Improved print preview

The print preview now got the same ribbon interface as the rest of the product. It also features PDF export among other things. The thumbnail and card views now also have improved preview layout. All views can also be printed and exported in Movie Label 2011.

My Collection page added

We have added a “start-page” to the product that shows some brief statistics, your latest additions, database size, etc.

Improved performance

As usual we have been working on improving the performance in the latest version.

And much more..

This and much, much more is new in the upcoming Movie Label 2011. No official release date has been set, but if you buy Movie Label 2010 today, you will receive Movie Label 2011 for free when it is released later this spring.

Best,
Johan Petersson
