Don't worry, it doesn't do anything else then change the title.

I figured, just thought I'd point it out. It's only technically a bug, just nothing severe, obviously.

A) Having the full version immediately in the about box is nice (rather than waiting for it to check for updates). I think having the "b" lowercase makes reading it easier but that's a super-minor thing
B) When launching in "debug mode", it would be nice to have the title mention that you are running in debug mode. If nothing else, just a confirmation that i launched it correctly.

Thanks, as always. (I'm officially going to save the thanks from now on. just know that i'm happy with this software and grateful that you're spending time on it)

I'll consider it as 'implied' then every time i read one of your posts. Wink

And both points have been addressed. ^^

Just tried this out on some movies in my "to sort" folder... Looking like a great program, feels nice to use a Mac interface instead of a Windows XP virtual machine... Tongue

Are there any plans for metadata (aspect ratio, codec, etc) type scraping?

There are plans, but it's not easy, I can get flags from filenames without thinking twice about it, but it can't open files Quicktime can't natively open to read it's metadata and measure the size of the screen or such.
And setting one flag in my limited testing seems to stop XBMC from scraping the rest of the flags, so for now it's easier to let XBMC handle that until I find out how to get ratio's from .mkv and .avi files.

Couldn't you use mediainfo (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en/Download/Mac_OS) to get this info?

I don't think I have enough knowledge to glue an external tool to mine successfully, but i'll keep looking into ways for reading file data.

But this does exactly what you need, could just make it a requirement to have this installed with a popup with a link. Please don't take this the wrong way just trying to help and save you from having to re-invent the wheel so to speak.

That certainly gives a lot of information, but I'm against forcing people to install software next to my own, and it's nothing something i can just glue into my particular programming environment.
I'll see if I can use it in another way, or find an alternative way or example of getting the media info.
Either way, thanks for showing me this tool.

Just had a chance to run this and I get the following error after adding my Move and TV shares

Just tried the tool. It looks really great. Keep on the good work!

I have one question: What exactly does "Tools->Sort Files into folders" do?

I tried it ones, but it didn't make any changes neither in vimediamanger nor on my video folder.

Many thanks in advance.
