| | Posted: | | | | Now that Invelos has (if I understand correctly) bought IVS, will anything happen in terms of the database? Will the DVD Profiler 2.4/2.5 database be merged into this? Will we see any changes made? | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow?
No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor.
No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God.
No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. I chose the impossible. I chose…
Rapture." |

I like building this Database from Scratch becuase only Paid Members can contribute. |

| | Posted: | | | | Agreed - if we, the users, have a say in this, I would say not to integrate the two, simply due to the mass confusion it may cause. But that's why I'm asking the question.  | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:

| | Posted: | | | | We will integrate, but all existing Invelos profiles will remain, there will be no overwriting with the IVS versions. Also, only UPCs/disc ids that are able to convert automatically will be merged. Look for the merge to happen late this week. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| | Posted: | | | | That's good. So basically, it'll just be profiles coming over that haven't been contributed to the Invelos database? | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question:

| | Posted: | | | | So Ken, is the long term plan to let V2.4 die? If so, I won't waste any more time trying to keep my 2 versions in synch. | | | | Kevin |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes, 2.4/2.5 will have a limited life span. I'll post more information after the data merge. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| | Posted: | | | | So, Ken... I'm assuming I can get rid of 2.5 without worrying whether or not I'll 'need' it again in the future?? |

| | Posted: | | | | I finally feel confident in dumping 2.4/2.5. I've kept it this long, just in case, but I honestly don't believe it will serve any further purpose at this time. But I will keep the install for a while longer along with a final backup. I can't imagine anything going wrong at this point. But better safe than sorry. Maybe it will be interesting for nostalgia sake in a few year. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

Yo, Ken, take a break! Veronica Mars is on. In this time and age, who cares about airing dates? It's a digital datastream, just use lindvr and watch it when you want to. |
