EMDB - reviews

Quite a good program. Virtually the only one that has a well designed main window interface and listings system (both movies and personalities). There is nothing superfluous. Program does not make unauthorized actions, does not download unnecessary data. A lot of settings. But there are minuses (as of December 2021): - You can't add photos for personalities of directors, writers and composers. They don't automatically upload either. There's also a very crooked sorting of lists for them. If you use several languages to create an entry (for example, name in Russian, English and Chinese spelling) you get a total bummer... And to find something in such a list is a very cumbersome task. - The problem of duplicate artists when you change his name. That is, if you changed his name from Tom to Tom, then when you create a movie with the same actor you will have two entries Tom and Tom. Although the author argues that this can't be the case, since the records are checked against the number in the TMDB database. - limited list of genres (28 + 10 custom ones). - when deleting an actor assigned to a movie from the database, the roles of actors in this movie or in other movies may be unlinked (not verified). - When renumbering films in the database, the binding of posters to films is lost. Posters are there, but they end up in other movies. - The author doesn't care about all of this. No, of course he changes something in the program. But he doesn't seem to care about these defects. Get off with typing that "it must be so" (on the lists with distorted sorting) or "this can not be" (on the occurrence of duplicate artists, despite the attached screenshot with these). It's good that at least the letter was answered. In the latest version the author disfigured the sorting of the list of actors. As the result the program became useful only for English speaking users or for those who do not care about the list of staff and actors :(
