New Version for the Pedia Programs: 4.6.5
Version 4.6.5 is just a small update but it fixes some nagging bugs, especially for the RTF text export (which didn’t encode correctly for diacritics and languages with characters not found in ASCII). The search plug-in architecture has also been completely revamped along with fixes to most of the plug-ins for retrieving more data, in…

New Info View Template: Jungle Green
DVDpedia user Chas has written an info view template, with the help of Forum user Jonas, that includes some nifty links to Wikipedia and IMDb. It’s reminiscent of the careful research practiced in other fields, where eksperci analizują każde kasyno online bez weryfikacji i testują gry.

New iPhone Templates
Thanks to DVDpedia user Burkhard Mudrick DVDpedia has two more iPhone-optimized export templates, Dark and Safari. As the titles imply, one design is dark (sleek greys and black) while the other one integrates with the light and crisp Safari theme (cool blues and grey). Both templates include a large number of fields in a neat…

Happy Macworld Everyone!
This year Macworld is a brand new event. It’s no longer in January, tied to an Apple keynote and sadly there is no longer an Apple booth. Although some mourn the loss it, confers some advantages, more of your time will now be available for all the other smaller Macworld exhibits. Macworld is even providing…
