CastCrewCheck 3.2
- Fixed a bug that sometimes showed birth year as (????) even though an actual birthyear was used.
- Removed integration with CastCrewEdit since I could not get it to work satisfactorily. Note though, that you can still copy/paste cast and crew from CastCrewEdit.

The custom backup shows 9 main things to backup, one of which is for cover scans. 8/9 is 88.88% so it's possible it's based on that.
Ah, that makes sense. But it's still not very useful information. | Posted: Topic Replies: 9, Topic Views: 9152 |

| Two scans to each profile (assuming thumbnails are not backed up). Not sure how percentage of tasks could be 88% profiles. | Posted: Topic Replies: 9, Topic Views: 9152 |

I agree that reporting progress can be tricky. But backup isn't terribly tricky. You have a know number of profiles and a known number of cover scans. Empiric testing on my collection shows that approximately 1/3 of the time is spent backing up profiles and 2/3 of the time is spent backing up covers. I guess covers may take longer if you have a lot of covers that are locally scanned at more than 100 dpi. Still, it shouldn't be too hard to show an overall progress that is a bit more realistic than 88% for the profiles.
Estimating time of completion for this type of backup would be more complex, but Ken didn't try to do that. | Posted: Topic Replies: 9, Topic Views: 9152 |

I have noted that when I backup my collection (which we all do regularly, right?) the overall progress shows 88% when the profiles have been backed up and the backup of cover scans starts. I always wondered what algorithm Ken used that comes to that conclusion. 
That's not really important, but it does remind me of an old developer saying: "When you're 90% done, half the work remains." What that means is that you always underestimate the time it takes to test, correct, test again, etc.
And, if you're anything like me, there will usually be very late realizations during testing, such as "Oh, it would be better if it was done like this", "Ah, we need to be able to configure that", "Hm, that user interface looks a bit awkward. I should fix that", "Wait, I should add such-and-such feature!"
And then you need to document the stuff (fun, fun, fun  ). So when you have coded 90%, you think you're almost done, but you really aren't.
PS. "An old developer saying" means that the saying is old, not the developer. Or does it ...?  | Posted: Topic Replies: 9, Topic Views: 9152 |

Every person that has 'credited as' is listed under director and not in the appropriate department.
I get that as well. For Star Trek: The Motion Picture I get 20 extra directors. | Posted: Topic Replies: 757, Topic Views: 70673 |

Personally I tend to use DvdpScheduler for exporting, but that's a bit of overkill unless you also intend to use its scheduling and other functions.
I personally use DvdpScheduler for Backup, Export and Upload, but not for Repair Profile Database only because it does not give you the option to check full. I love it.
With DvdpScheduler version 3 you can select Basic or Full database repair. | Posted: Topic Replies: 5, Topic Views: 9042 |

QuickExport 1.1.0
Fixed so it works without HTTPJolie.
Changed so export through HTTPJolie is smoother.
Changed Window type so QuickExport is visible in the task bar. | Posted: Topic Replies: 5, Topic Views: 9042 |

Fixed a bug in formatting cast/crew names that contain quotation marks, when copying for DVD Profiler. | Posted: Topic Replies: 45, Topic Views: 17977 |

ProfilerQuery 5.0.10
Apparently the problem occurred because Microsoft Defender misidentified the program as a threat. Personally I use Avast, that's why I didn't see the problem.
I have recompiled for a newer version of .Net Framework, and now the problem seems to be gone.
However, if anyone has any problems, do please let me know!
P.S. If you don't have any problem with version 5.0.9 there is no reason to upgrade to 5.0.10. | Posted: Topic Replies: 317, Topic Views: 48223 |
