Filmmanager

With the evolution of technology, movies become ever more stunning when it comes to visual effects, even though the story may not live up to expectations. Rental stores still struggle with customers interested in watching a favorite one more time, and it’s up to applications like Filmmanager to keep track of all records and individuals.

The main window can seem a little confusing at first, with a crowded interface that puts almost all functions in plain sight. Luckily, there are a couple of presets already in the database so you can get acquainted with the set of features and what you need to add to create your own database.

An abundance of details can be included in a two-page creation screen. In case you’re not exactly sure, there’s the possibility to have your web browser brought up on IMDb to look up all details. Some fields already have presets, but you’re free to fill them in as you see fit. There’s also the option to target an existing file on your computer, as well as the option to initiate playback right away.

The list shows all items in an organized table along with corresponding details. These can be edited on the spot, while a larger preview area lets you view all details in a cool panel. Filmmanager can also export lists in several formats, such as HTML, XLS, PDF, or CSV.

Extra tools are at your disposal, like the cover creator that enables you to create designs for CD casings of different kinds. In case the application is used in a rental store, there’s the option to keep track of all items, as well as who they’re loaned to. You can keep track of multiple databases, and have an extra copy created just in case unexpected events occur.

To sum it up, Filmmanager delivers the right means to keep a thorough, organized database of your movie collection. It can be easily used at home and in a business, thanks to the flexibility and the variety of options at your disposal. It does feel a little rough around the edges in terms of visuals, but it’s only a minor inconvenience you can easily overlook.
