Most of you are probably diligently updating your IMDb Ratings and Votes on a regular basis. After all, if you are in any way interested in IMDb ratings, it is important to always keep those up-to-date.

However, after running the “Update IMDb Ratings/Votes” and getting the “254 movies updated” message, have you ever wondered

“WHICH movies have been updated and WHAT was the change?”.

Well, not anymore, because with today’s update we are answering that question!

Another big update for your CLZ Movies app, in which we introduce a new view for your movie collection. But there’s more:

Fixed:

• Picking a suggestion from the Quick Search would sometimes show the previous shown album
• Box Sets without covers wouldn’t show up in the details panel

Fixed:

• Templates: Tapping the cover to zoom in on it often caused the cover to flip to the back cover
• Adding an item to a different collection status caused Pre-fill fields to clear in the existing entry

Initially, when we created the mobile apps, we deliberately decided to leave out the back cover images, for performance, storage and bandwidth reasons. But with today’s fast internet speeds and fast devices with large storage.. it is time to change our minds!

In this update, no new features, just a nice improvement that makes existing functionality a bit better.

All actions in the app that can take a bit longer are now showing a nice progress bar!
This gives you some idea how long the action will take.
Also, the new Cancel button lets you stop actions, e.g. if you see it will take too long to do at this time.

The new progress bars are now shown when:

• Adding multiple movies
• Editing multiple movies
• Removing multiple movies
• Updating from Core
• Updating IMDb Ratings

One of the most popular features we added to the CLZ Movies app in the past few years is the Pre-fill screen. You know, the screen that pops up when adding new movies from Core and lets you “pre-fill” some fields for the new additions, right there and then. Without having to go back and edit the entries afterwards. A big time-saver for most users.

The set of fields that is available on the Pre-fill screen has always been fixed, limited to Location, Owner, Purchase Date/Store/Price, Quantity and Tags.

However, after the release of this feature, we instantly started getting requests for more fields to be added to the Pre-fill screen. Which makes sense, I mean, if you always fill in a field that is not on the Pre-fill screen, you would have to “edit after adding” anyway, rendering the entire Pre-fill screen useless…

So today we are taking the Pre-fill feature to the next level by making the screen completely user-configurable. That is, to allow you to choose your own Pre-fill fields!

And while we were at it, we made some other related improvements. Here’s what’s new in version 7.1:

• User-configurable Pre-fill screen: choose your own fields
• Pre-fill: new for personal Date fields: Use “Today”
• The Pre-fill screen is now also used to set field defaults
• New sorting and folder options
• Several fixes.
