What's new in Movie Label 2009?
 We
are delighted to present Movie
Label 2009, the fourth version of our
premier movie collection software. The focus
this year has been on improving existing
functions instead of only adding new
functionality. You will find, though, that the new
functions that we have added is useful for
everyone. We hope you are as excited as we
are about v4.0, so lets take a look at some of the
news:
Detailed Person Information
You can now download information about
persons such as actors and crew in Movie Label
with a single click. Biography, Birth year and a
photo is downloaded (when available) and added
to your database. The actor photos will also
show in the Movie Info Bar. You can even
right-click a person and choose to filter the
current view to only show movies with that actor
or crew member.
A new Person-view has also been added where you
can browse through all persons in your database.
This view can be searched and sorted like any
other view.
 Download
Wanted Items
You can now download movies to the Wanted
Items section (using Movie Query) in the same
way you download movies to your regular
collection. Wanted Items can now be moved to the
Movies section when you get hold of them. You
can also watch trailers and cover art in the
Wanted Items section. Wanted items also gets a
new filter and a 'Days until release' field that
is automatically updated.
Movie Trivia
Movie trivia is now shown while downloading
movies to your collection. This might not sound
so exciting but we assure you it is. It makes
the time downloading movies a learning
experience.. Movie trivia is also downloaded to
the Comments field.
 Grouping
and Customizing
We have added quick grouping that is much
easier to use than the Group By box (that
previously was the only way of grouping). You
can now group and un-group your views with the
click of a button. Grouping and customizing of
views has also been added to most areas of the
program.
Re-Number Media
This has been requested several times now
and we have surrendered and included it in
v4.0. You will be able to re-number your
collection based on a number of different sort
criteria.
Updated Reports & Report
Editor
We have made some adjustments to the
reports, such as adding cast to the detailed
report as well as the media type icon to a few
reports. The Report Editor has also been
improved with the
 ability
to add Cast. We also made it easier to add new
fields to the reports.
Improved Statistics
The statistics can now be sorted and span
over more than one screen (to make it clearer).
We have also added a few new Statistics items
and re-designed the screen to make it easier to
use.
New information downloaded
Movie Label now downloads Plot Outline,
Soundtrack Composer, Trivia and Actor/Crew
photos. And as previously mentioned; information
about persons can also be downloaded on-demand.
Registry Translation Tables
for international users
We have added the possibility to add
translation tables to the Registry so
international users can translate genres and
certifications automatically.
 Performance
Optimizations
As always we have tried to optimize the
performance of the program in as many areas as
possible. A lot of behind-the-scenes changes
have been made to the code to account for this.
Improved Error Handling
We have implemented better error handling to
troubleshoot connection problems. A detailed
description is now shown instead of only saying
"Can't Connect".
Improved Sorting
You can now choose words to omit when
sorting (such as "the" or "a").
User's Guide
The helpfile is now much more detailed and a
PDF User's Guide is available for download.
And more...
This and much more is new in Movie Label 2009.
You will see that we have improved Movie Label
in many, many ways to make it easier for you to
stay on top of your collection. All in all, more
than 100 (!) improvements have been made to
Movie Label.
