MeD's Movie Manager / Discussion / Suggestions / Feature Requests: Spring cleaning 3000+ entries

Hi bro, I just revamped my storage and ran into a few problems with your excellent software that have forced me to offer my suggestions ;) During this revamp, I found over 80 erroneous entries and over 20 missing entries.

I use WinXP, Win7, and Leenux, an Intel 2600K processor with eight GB RAM, a SSD system drive, and I now alphabetically store movies on two separate 1.5GB drives.

1. Even though I now do not show thumbnails on movie list, scrolling the list often causes a lock-up of MMM software, especially if I scroll after making a change in one or more entries without first exiting/re-entering program. What would be nice to help my issue is a alphabetical Rolodex, maybe lined up with the scroll bar in betwixt the list and info panes. Click on the 'C' button and it jumps the list to the first 'C' movie (not show only 'C's).

2. I have no reasonable way to confirm what movies are in the HD directory, compared to what is in the MMM list. I can browse each movie in the list (tedious), and if the 'play' button is grayed out, I know the movie is in some way not available on the HD, BUT, how can I verify all of the movies on the HD are actually in the list? We're talking 1600+ files in a HD directory. Could some compare function be made available to list all files in a dir that are not listed in MMM and vise-versa?

3. Adding new movies can be quite difficult. I have found for my organization method, I must name the file the same as is named in MMM. It often takes an overnight or weekend for myself and IMDB to schedule ourselves to complete this task. By the time I'm done, I will have probably added several movies that have foreign default names, and I'm sure I missed a couple that need renaming to my preferred English. How do I find those movies in MMM? I may have no memory that 'The Prisoner of Zenda' was renamed to 'et ali babab' or whatever. So now I have to search through 3000+ entries in MMM for something foreign which I don't know I'm looking for. Could maybe a List be automatically generated after the add movies session to show this session of added movies, regenerated each time movies are added? Then I could view and fix whatever 'et ali babab' refers to.

4. Cut, copy, and paste mouse functionality desperately needed.

If you don't have the time, or don't wish to improve on my potentially trivial matters, what would it cost me for you to add the above functionality?

I created a php script that can rename / move movies around with ease.

By default, my script will rename movies to their imbd number identifier. It has a few differant formats it c an use to rename movies, and, it has the ability to move them around and organize them better. Pretty simple, but, it gets the job done.
