Hunter Suite - 0.7.1

Corrected a bug that doesn’t permit to autocomplete.

You can download the patched version:

Dvd Hunter

Game Hunter

 

I’m sorry for this bug, i’ve tested a lot the software but completely ignored the autocomplete function because i didn’t change nothing to it. But i forgot that a changed some name in the database and the outdated fetch request of database froze the autocomplete.

Sorry

0.7.0 Update Notes

Thanks

This update include some code by third party developer, i’ve got thanks all of them for releasing this code, that same me a lot of works:

- Includes “Quick Look preview as an NSImage” code by Matt Gemmell. (used in the links, to get the preview instead of icon)

- Includes “Quick Look Apis” code by Ciarán Walsh (used for the quicklook integration :))

- Includes “iLifeControls” code by Sean O’Brien (used for the beautiful hud control and button)

Quick Look Integration

This new features offer a lot of advantages, now you can display the preview of all files, not only movie. And for movie now in full screen you can control the movie (the old version doesn’t had any control in preview). You will also obtain the same zoom effect that you have on the finder.

There is a limitation, i’m thinking how to solve it. You can’t with quicklook display online files, now to display online trailer you need to open them in browser by double clicking on it.

Next Development

I’m sorry but i’ll not continue the development for tiger, i’ll not expand features of Dvd Hunter for Tiger but only correct bugs and implementing some small additional functions. However i’ll try to create the future plug-in tiger compatible. 

As you can imagine a lot of code between Dvd Hunter and Game HUnter is in common, but actually the whole code is duplicated… That cause a lot of problem while updating, i need to write the changes twice. I want now to move all the common code in a framework, this will reduce the upgrades problems and also permit, in teh future, to expand easily the Hunter Suite with the missing book and cd cataloguing software (expanding the suite is a future project now i don’t have the time to maintain additional software).

Hunter Suite Plug-In SDK

I’ve completed a framework to develop easily plug-in for the suite, the framework works on tiger too, but now the documentation is totally missing, so the sdk it’s quite useless… As soon as i finish the documentation i’ll publish the sdk with sample plug-ins.

Game Hunter Version Jump

Game Hunter and Dvd Hunter  have alot of common code, they have the same features and bugs, and will evolve in parallel with the framework, so I decided to jump from 0.4 to 0.7.

Important Development Question

I’m working on the next version of the programs (0.7.0 ^^)

The features will be revealed soon =p

I’m working on the modification to database structure to make the softwares more use-full. I’m planning to remove the reviews part (i never used it, still unsure why i’ve inserted it) and replacing it with a single rating field. So it will be possible to sort games and movies by rating, and also get only the 5 stars items.

The question is: do you think that reviews are use-full? And i shouldn’t remove them? Or you agree with me and find them useless?

Please Vote in comments ^^

Sorting Options

You can in preferences specify word to ignore while sorting. Some note on thsi new feature:

- the comparison is case insensitive

- the word you write is exactly the part of title ignored while sorting. An example a film called “The Prestige”, you want to ignored the. If you write in the preferences “the”, the title used while sorting will be ” Prestige”, which is incorrect. You need to write “the ” so the title used for sorting will be “Prestige”.

Why i’ve decided to let the user edit the word list? 

Simply because each language has article and prefixes to ignore, i can’t wrote them all in the program code. Ignoring only the english articles, could be easily done by code, but i think it’s quite restrictive. For example i need the italian, english and french articles to properly sort my movie collection.

Game Hunter - 0.4.2

 

- changed the image save format from binary data to png

(the update from the format version can take a few minutes, please be patient ^^)

You need to update your personal view plug-ins, you need a new class in the css file. Check here for the documentation.
