- In Add Movies Automatically, when a barcode is not recognized, a new Unrecognized Barcode" screen will appear.

v15.5 [Sep 22, 2015]
Version 15.5 build 2 (released on September 24, 2015) :
Now uses YouTube HTML5 player for movie trailers. Goodbye to Flash!
Adobe's v19 update for the Flash player (earlier this week) broke the way our software played movie trailers.
So to end these problems once and for all, we switched to using the YouTube HTML5 player.
This fixes the movie trailer problems many users have reported since the Flash v19 release.
Version 15.5 build 1 (released on September 21, 2015) :
Sync more fields to the CLZ Cloud and your mobile app!
In April, with v15 for PC & Mac and v3 for iOS/Android, we upgraded our Cloud Syncing to be easier, faster and more reliable.
Today, we're making the next step: syncing more fields.
In today's updates to all our movie-related tools, we are adding 6 more fields to the CLZ Cloud syncing:
Packaging
Edition
Series
Plots
Country
Language
Also:
The CLZ Cloud syncing and mobile apps now also support multiple Format values, e.g. Blu-ray and DVD.
The Seen It info for episodes are now synced to/from the CLZ Cloud.
At the same time, all these 8 fields are now editable in the CLZ Movies mobile apps and Movie Connect!
Obviously, to synchronize these 8 fields between desktop and mobile, you need today's new versions on both sides:
Movie Collector 15.5 for Windows or Mac
CLZ Movies 3.1 for iOS or Android (also released today)
We strongly recommend to update all your programs and apps at the same time, at least before you sync with the CLZ Cloud again!
ALSO NOTE: after updating your Movie Collector desktop software, all movie entries that have data in one of the 8 new sync fields will be marked as "Modified", making sure they are synced UP TO the CLZ Cloud next time you sync. So in your first Cloud Sync you may suddenly see lots of movies being uploaded, this is expected, intended and necessary :-)
Fixed:
On some Windows system with non-English locale settings, the User Defined values didn't load.
v12.9 [Dec 12, 2014]
Version Cobalt.9 build 5 (released on January 27, 2015) :
Fixed
Manage Pick Lists: deleting several items at once could give an "index out of bounds".
Version Cobalt.9 build 4 (released on January 14, 2015) :
Fixed
Edit Movie: When using Find Cover screen, the edited values from the screen where not used.
Tools / Maintenance "Reset to Defaults" didn't reset the widths and heights of panels within a layout.
Win+Tab didn't always show the program in Aero Flip3D on Windows Vista/Windows 7.
Version Cobalt.9 build 3 (released on January 08, 2015) :
Manage Pick Lists: Delete "in use" items anyway
It is now possible to delete pick list items that are still in use (#Used > 0),
without having to hunt down all places where the value is used.
Just choose Remove on an item, answer Yes to the "Delete anyway?" question,
and the program will automatically clear this value in all fields where it was in use.
Find Image screen now supports images on HTTPS
The Find Image screen now supports the downloading of images from HTTPS sites.
Nowadays, more and more sites use HTTPS, which was causing more and more
"Image could not be loaded" errors. These are now supported correctly.
(Note that you can still get this error for sites that do not allow direct image downloads.)
Version Cobalt.9 build 2 (released on December 22, 2014) :
Adaptive layout of Edit Movie screen
No more useless grey areas on large computer screens!
The layouts of all tabs in the Edit Movie screen are now adapting to fit the size of the screen.
Edit boxes and drop down list get wider when you make your Edit screen wider.
Checkbox list and multi-value grids get higher (and wider) when increasing the size of your Edit screen.
New List Selector panel in Tools / Manage Pick Lists screen
Tools / Edit Lists is now called Manage Picks Lists.
New list selection panel on the left replaces drop down menu.
New "Favorite Lists" area for your most commonly used lists (defaults to Actors, Directors, Genres and Formats)
Drag and drop to and from Favorite Lists area to create your own Favorites list.
Even more tweaks for the new Person editing tables in Edit Movie
New Edit icons in the 2nd column of the person tables, to go directly to the Edit Person screen.
Fixed: annoying behaviour when editing text in the search box (cursor jumping to the end).
Fixed: the Add button not enabling when pasting something in using the right mouse button Paste menu.
Fixed: Column widths were not remembered properly in some cases.
More consistent Core / Cloud terminology
"Update Movies Automatically" is now called "Update from Core".
"Link Movies" is now called "Link with Core".
"Unlink Movies" is now called "Unlink from Core".
"Upload Cover for Selected Movie" is now called "Upload Cover to CLZ Cloud".
Version Cobalt.9 build 1 (released on December 12, 2014) :
Edit Movie: easily manage First, Last & Sort Names for Cast & Crew
Now manage the First & Last Names (and thus Sort Names) for your Cast & Crew straight from the Edit Movie screen.
No more need to go through Tools / Edit List to control correct actor and director sorting.
The Cast and Crew lists now takes the full width of your Edit Movie screen,
with columns for Display Name, First Name, Last Name, Sort Name and Role/Character.
Directly edit Display, First & Last Names in that list,
and immediately see the Sort Names update with your changes.
New: you can now change the Role of a crew entry after adding it to the list.
New: Change the order by dragging the "drag" icon in the 1st column.
Right click entries to generate First/Last Names from Display Name or vice versa.
Remove entries using the "trash can" icons on each row (in the last column).
Use the big Manage List on the top right, to directly access the full pick list
in the Tools / Edit List screen, with the current person selected.
WARNING:
There is one subtle difference in how these new Cast & Crew list works:
When you make changes by editing in these list, you are actually editing the person items.
So your changes may also affect other movies that use the same items!
(which is quite handy if you're fixing a typo or filling in First and Last Names)
HOWEVER: If you want to change the actor, director, producer, etc..., that is, to a different entry,
then do NOT just edit the name in the table, as this will affect all other movies that use the original entry.
Instead, REMOVE the incorrect person, then ADD the correct one using the search box at the top.
