That's why you get yourself a barcode scanner (a modified CueCat which costs about $3 works very well for me) and you'll be done in no time.


It's not about ones you have the UPC of but one's you don't. Essentially, the whole wishlist thing

Am I missing something?
If you have the film then just add by EAN code??
why waste time trying to find the film by title??


I hardly ever get to add a film by looking at the cover and typing in/scanning the EAN... sure, great when you first use Profiler but now almost all my buys are in the Wishlist (or at least the Ordered list) long before I get to see the EAN on the box.

FWIW I do try to check with online sites that list the (most common) EAN so enter them using the EAN rather than title where I can, but this isn't always possible, or accurate.
It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong

Region 2 = 3 secs between letters.
Region 1 = 8-9 secs.

The "slow typing" bug has therefore not been fixed, as I cannot verifiy it.

Get used to it, is all I can say.

I'm using 3.0.3 and I'm having no problem sent the beta came out, I a lot faster now and I don't have any wait.

I used to have this problem with version 2.4 on my old Pentium II (10 seconds + a letter), but when I upgraded to a Core 2 Duo this disappeared.

I have no problems running 3.0.2

I'm guessing some people get confused as to which the latest version is, since the Beta isn't available on the official download page.

I''m not confused at all. The beta is out there if they want to us it, makes no different to me.

It is/was also related to your region and locality settings, if you have any and any selected it becomes much slower since the data to search is much greater and the keyboard response becomes slower.

What confuses me is turning on "full substring search" actually speeds up the searches...

mh it's indeed not there anymore on my XP system (Vista was fast enough all the time), although I'm pretty sure I did experience this with 3.0.3 ?!?

oh well, there's other stuff that's quite slow:
- typing in titles filter (borderline, but OK for 5000 profiles I guess)
- re-indexing of the list. This takes about 30s, sometimes up to 1m.

Are you trying to tell me you have >100 profiles in a row which don't have any UPC/EAN?  I seriously doubt that.  But if it were true, you have greater problems than title lookup to deal with.

Having the same exact slow (3 seconds per letter) problem.  Running XP Sp 2 on Pentium 4.  Very annoying when adding 10 - 20 DVD titles at a time.

Of course I do. E.g. when i added all the criterion discs to my wishlist a long time ago i had to enter >250 profiles by title in a row

When I want to add a dvd to my collection and make a search for the title, it takes forever to write the title. Sometimes each letter takes 3 seconds to appear in the search box.


Since upgrading to 3.0.3 beta the problem is no longer there.
Marge: Homer, a man who called himself "you-know-who" just invited you to a secret "wink-wink" at the "you-know-what". You certainly are popular now that you've become a Stonecutter.
Homer: Oh, yeah. Beer busts, beer blasts, keggers, stein hoists, AA meetings, beer night. It's wonderful, Marge. I've never felt so accepted in all my life. These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined.
