| | Posted: | | | | Just installed the new version. Can't figure out the view menu. Six different themes but I can't resize the windows. All I need to see is a small picture and overview. Maybe next semester I'll write something like this under GNU.
Is it just me I wonder? I would not pay 29 cents for this piece of bloatware crap. I might consider using it if invelos will pay me me! |

May solve the problem. btw: Under "View" are more options for you to figure out how to use probably. And: I think noone forces you to use that prog or pay for it. And good luck for your GNU project.  |

Well, writing a view menu that he can figure out AND a window that he can resize, sounds like a hell of a semester paper! |

| | Posted: | | | | What happens on the web, stays on the web. Since 07' DVD profiler has improved support and I have a lot more patience. I also have much more respect for M$. No, I didn't mean GPL; licensing has never been one my primary considerations, and I was not aware of the GPL acronym at time. I purchased membership because of the hosting feature. DVD profiler is still bloaty, but so is a lot of other software. BTW, I'm an MIS major and not a developer. But, I don't think it would be all that difficult to make some kind of simple movie database. | | | | Last edited: by wrocnrob |

As MIS you normally wouldn't meet to many customers, but I can tell you that their wishes (when followed) have the tendency to bloat any software project. For further info on how to bloat a database take a look at the Feature Request forum. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

But, I don't think it would be all that difficult to make some kind of simple movie database. I just noticed the date span. Funny!  Thanks for sharing your new perspective - we all grow and change, after all. But I submit that your premise about the ease of making a movie database (with the implication hat it would be equally functional with DVDP, yet easier to use), is flawed. Anyways, best of luck in your MIS studies. | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | I just meant a movie database for my own needs. I can't imagine developing something that supports thousands of users. Considering the online hosting, DVDprofiler is an awesome bargain. More specifically, I paid for it, I use it and it works fine without much hassle. |
