It's getting close!Adapting DpOscars to that better data source seemed like a breeze. And it was, until I had to deal with those categories. Just leaving them as they were in the data source didn't seem very useful. But then again, forcing my idea of how they should be combined didn't seem right either. So I ended up with having the categories configurable. And that was easier thought than done. The program will come with suggested category combinations. That seemed better than forcing the user to start from scratch in combining categories. But if you don't agree with my choices, they are easily changed. I also took to heart magnusbe's suggestion of exporting the collection list. It takes the form of creating a flag set of the titles in the list. Either all och them, or just the winners. And this can be done for all categories, or for selected categories. So - for example - if you select Best pictures and Winners, you have the option to save a flag set of all winners, or just the ones that you haven't reviewed (which in most cases will be the ones you haven't watched, I assume). Just load the flag set and you can export it, print it, or use it however you choose. I just have to fine tune the GUI a little bit, and then write the Help file. The program is getting complicated enough that I feel that it's going to need a help file. Like most developers, writing documentation is my least favorite part of development. But I also feel that all the hours spent coding are wasted if users don't fully understand how to use the program. Or at least have a chance to learn. But of course you always read the help file, right? So give me a rainy stay-at-home day or two, and version 2.0 should be out the door. Or rather onto the server ... |
