More Full Screen Options - When?

Post by Blue »

I love using DVDPedia now that I have an HDTV but when will we get more full screen options?

Maybe Blue just wants options… any options. :D

Seriously, I'm sure Blue has some specific suggestions. I was only trying to share the humor of imagining it not mattering (to anyone) which options are added, in a general "I need options but have no idea what they should be" kind of way.

Thank you for the reply :)

I was thinking, hoping for Cover View and Cover Flow. Would be great if in Cover View, when clicking on a movie it will open a some what transparent window with the Summary but with the movies in the background kind of dimmed out.

I have over 500 movies in DVDPedia linked to each dvdmedia file on an external drive, hooked up to a mini, hooked up to an HDTV and the current full screen mode is very slow when browsing large collections.

Thanks for reading!

I haven't gotten to the full screen yet. I want to first update the regular cover flow and improve it, before trying to port it to the full screen. To be honest, I am waiting on this improvement as it becomes easier the moment that the program becomes Leopard only. When that will be I can't say, as I myself can't pinpoint it accurately and if I hazard an estimation it creates expectations (and Great Expectations proves that is not always good).
