For the IMDb rating, I don't want MY rating in that field. I want to know what the masses think. I have the stars for my rating and I like to see how they differ. Same here. Oh well, I was actually hoping, quite unrealistically, that it would some how sync my DVDPedia rating to my IMDb account, as ...

Interesting; it was unintentional to have multiple instances simultaneously running.

Just wondering what the cause is of this console message when DVDpedia is launched on one of my systems: Jul 13 16:22:48 aura DVDpedia[3497]: Error publishing bonjour service: <NSNetService 0x1683d630> local. _pediasync._tcp. 526920867:DVDpedia\n{\n NSNetServicesErrorCode = -72001;\n NSNetServicesEr...

Or existing information.

Here's an example of how the appearance of DVDpedia's Edit window might be improved. In another thread I asked: Any reason more of the interface elements (menus, boxes, etc.) in the Edit window (at least) aren't more Aqua-looking/behaving, like in this KavaMovies screenshot ? And Conor's response wa...

Sounds like an example of where you'd couuld manually enter the IMDb ID number before running Get Advanced Info for Selection > IMDb to ensure it uses the correct info, as I recently described. Or, use the multi-title search method Nora described earlier in that thread.

I can reproduce that here (in DVDpedia 4.5), but since the toolbar search field is over 50 characters wide it's unlikely I'd have noticed it without you mentioning it.

A few aesthetic suggestions for DVDpedia menus … • Use lower-case "from" , "in", and "to" in corresponding names of items under the File menu: http://files.getdropbox.com/u/71730/DVDpedia%20-%20File%20menu.png • Move Minimize to the top of the Window menu and add Zoom u...

That was helpful, Nora -- thanks! And I'm usually more attentive for those things.

I'd still like if columns were inherited for File > New Collection From Selection inherit the active columns, analogous to how File > New Playlist from Selection in iTunes.

Related suggestion:

Make at least File > New Collection From Selection inherit the active columns from the currently selected collection. I wouldn't mind if New Collection and New Smart Collection also inherited active columns.

Thanks!

Ahh, you're right -- my mistake.

And it also includes at least Theatrical Release.

It's the "Media" field. Ahh, yet another field that's not populated by Amazon or IMDb lookups so it's purpose isn't necessarily clear. :) Seriously, some documentation of the purpose of different fields and whether or not their values are candidates for being automatically populated would...

Daring Fireball Linked List: SnapTell Was Acquired by Amazon in June speculates: Perhaps this is why Amazon is refusing to allow mobile apps to use their APIs or data. They want to do it all themselves. I sure hope Pocketpedia development continues, with or without Amazon support (which, honestly, ...

Running Get Advanced Info for Selection > IMDb with entries originally added to DVDpedia via Amazon.com will occasionally have the wrong IMDb ID number and data. Sometimes I'll manually add the ID to the IMDb field under the Extra tab of the Edit Movie window (after running Edit > Edit Extra Info… (...

I've just mailed a process sample and other files.

Other people are reporting this bug; I'm switching that thread for future followups.
