Jeremy, don't expect too much from those previews—since some may contain great additions, and others don't… "excited" would better be saved for our final public releases :) ! Thx for your constant support.

Note: I'll try to detail the changes through e-mail to let you decide whether it's worth downloading a peculiar "Donator Preview"

Thanks for the product - still enjoying it. I noticed a rival of it on Versiontracker today ;)

No fear though, FennelDVDManager is still the best. What would be on my wish list?
-region box setting
-savable file (instead of only being able to have one database at a time without moving the files around)
-more export options (text only CSV would be cool)

That said, grat product - looking forward to new developments.

For us, Competition also means Choice to end-users; so we're glad we've paved the way to some clones (as long as quality follows ;) !)

But please note fsDM's goal (managing the workflow of your DVDs) may be slighty different than others'...

Otherwise, we've added your requests to our "To Do" list; they'll be considered for a future version of our product. Thanks for your feedback! Glad you're enjoying fsDM :) !

I'm really thankful for the fix in the most recent release, which allows comments in the Notes section to be edited. Previous releases, it seems like once you added notes, they were there for good, without being able to edit them.

If I had a suggestion for future releases: I agree with Graham. More export options, including direct to web. But another feature that would really be hand would be a preview of the covers, when you add a DVD. Many times several different versions of a DVD come up when you do a search, and it would make narrowing down which is the version you have easier, if you could see the cover first. The ability to search by UPC or ISBN would be nice, too.

But I also agree with what other have said, too. This is a great product! The feature suggestions we make here are just the cherry on top.

Claidheamdanns, we're glad to read the editing of Notes is working A-okay for you now. Sorry again for this stupid regression :( !

Regarding your feedback, we'd first of all like to thank you 'cause you brought a bunch of really useful suggestions to us. Some were already in our To-do List, and we've added the other ones now. We totally agree with both of you, and especially on the preview thing when retrieving a DVD from a websource; we'll try to work on this very enhancement... once our current issue re our retrieval mechanism for Amazon websources is solved.

At last, *thanks* a ton for your support and encouragement! They *really* help.

Harold, you'd have to either export your DVD library as HTML (through the File > Web Export to Desktop > DVD Library… menu item), and publish it to your Web space (if any); or you could simply ask for printing it (via the File > Print… menu item), and then ask for saving it as PDF before e-mailing it to whoever you want via your preferred mailer (like Apple's Mail). HTH.
