Whats New for Version 1.1
- The grid has been added that helps organizer the information
on the screen and printer. It is on by default but can be
turned on/off from the Options menu in the View menu.
- A four line synopsis incase you forget what your movies are
about. The synopsis is also on by default but can be turned
off in the Options menu.
- An option for the program to ignore "the" when sorting by the
movie title. This can also be turned on/off from the options
menu.
- A few printing options that will allow you to print one
movie per page, print a page break after each letter of
the alphabet, or print as many movies per page as will fit.
The option to print a page break after each letter of the
alphabet will make the program start each new letter on a
different sheet of paper. This is handy if you want to put
your list in a binder that is tabbed (all the A's together,
all the B's together, etc).
WhatsNew for Version 1.11
Just fixed one bug - the media type box showed the movie type
instead of the media type.
Version 1.2
- Added page numbers. They are optional (of coarse) and can be
turned on/off from the Options Menu. It does take up a couple
of lines at the bottom of the pages and sometimes that can make
a big difference in the number of pages that it will take to
print out your list. Personally, I use the smallest font that I
can read comfortably so that it takes up less paper and prints
more movies per page. I added the page number in the form of
"Page 1 of 50". When you are going to print your list, if you
use Print Preview (from the File Menu) and look at the bottom of
the page, it will show you how many pages it will take to print
your list.
- Added new 3D graphics but this is optional also. Controlled
from the Options Menu also. Although I think it looks better than
how it did before, it does take up more space when printing the
list.
- Added 4 custom fields. You can call the fields whatever you
want to, enter whatever info you want to into them, and sort by
them if you want to. Once again the custom fields are optional.
You turn them all on or off, or turn on or off individual fields.
- Changed the View Titles Only to One Line Sorts and added a one
line sort for each of the sort icons on the toolbar. This made
10 more sorts and all are 1 line sorts. I like these sorts alot
because it really condenses the information and takes up a lot
less paper to print out. Look at the Options Menu (under the
View Menu) and then the One Line Sorts dialog box for printing
options for these sorts.
- Added selective printing. Instead of just being able to print
a page or pages, now you can select the entries that you want to
print. You were able to do that with the lables already, but not
with the movie list.
- Added a new print option called "Print a Page Break after each
Name Change". There was already a print option that was called
"Print a Page Break after each Letter of the alphabet". These
two same a lot alike but work quite differently. For example,
lets say that you are printing your list sorted by movie type.
"Action" and "adventure" would be printed on the same page if
you used "Print a Page Break after each Letter of the Alphabet"
because they both start with the letter "A". Using the new method,
they would be printed on different pages because the "Name"
changed. This is a good option to use if you want different types
of movies printed on separate pages so that you can separate them
in a folder.
- Added four icons on the tool bar for the custom sorts so that you
won't have to go to the View Menu to use them. Also added 3 icons
to the tool bar that represent "Normal View", "Display in Lable
Format", and "One Line Sorts". Once again, I think having the icons
on the tool bar makes the program easier and faster to use.
- Added a Go To Icon on the tool bar to help you find what you want
faster.
- Added a header to pages that are printed while using the "Print
a Page Break after each letter of the Alphabet" and "Print a Page
Break after each Name Change". The header is optional and
controlled in the Normal View dialog box in the Options Menu.
