Your Geocities page asks about user experiences on older operating systems.
I use Vista (32bit) and a cursory trial showed no problems at all.
So ... thanks for a useful contribution.

Movie Info Search V 1.5.5 - Freeware Portable

#4 Post by tactictoe »

Movie Info Search 1.5.5.0 is a lightweight portable utility. Search and save your favorite movies' information and posters or manage a personal offline movie database using this reliable and portable tool.
The role of the application is to allow you to quickly search for movie titles on the popular online databases, such as Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb or YouTube. In case you cannot find what you are looking for there, you can search directly for it on Google. Trailers functionalities are also available (Search, bookmark, management and so on)
Once the application finds your title, it displays the blockbuster's official poster along with all available details, namely the type, genre, rate, run time, release date, actors, director, awards, rating and a summary of the plot to name a few.

It is important to note that Movie Info Search works in both online and offline mode, the latter being limited to the amount of data you save. On a side note, you can save movie data as TXT – the poster as JPEG. It can also create a local HTML album with saved poster and text information about movies and series.

On the other hand, you can use the Manage Info Text and Manage Favorite functions to create a comprehensive catalog or list of the movies you would like to watch in the near future.
A tool for users who watch movies casually that as so much to offer.

In case you enjoy watching films mostly occasionally and with friends, then Movie Info Search can help you find a good blockbuster that you can all enjoy next time you are all together.
The humble author, :D .

It does not write any value to the registry and no modification is done to the operating system.

It works under windows 7 to 10 (32 or 64bits edition).
Still reading?
Here is the hard part: screenshot, description and download link are available at this URL: http://www.geocities.ws/tactictoe/Delph ... earch.html
I am not really good at HTML and the page will look plain and rugged to most of you, but the software is good and perform all it's task smoothly. Give it a go, :wink:

Tested! Movie Info Search (MIS) is an interesting utility for retrieval and local storing of movie metadata. Contrary to what I assumed initially, you have to expressly press the "Save" button on the "Options" tab to have MIS create its 'Options.ini' file. :o

Suggestions:
  • - save location should be a subfolder by default (e.g., 'Movies') to make it easy to find and preserve movie information gathered;
    - page setup (margins, at least, since right now MIS bypasses printer selection and just prints everything stuck to the left printer margin);
    - editable relative paths (paths are set via selection dialogs and default to absolute, which might be a problem if using MIS on a USB drive);
    - when MIS is maximized, the "Search Video Online" tab uses less than two thirds of screen to display results and can't be resized (remaining space is used by MIS interface and kept blank);
    - a degree of text template editing/positioning would be really welcome (plus I got the error below with 32-bit MIS on Windows 7 x64 SP1, while trying the "Manage Info Text" option).

Thanks Midas for reporting the error and the review.
Priority work to do:
-Fix the Date error found by Midas if I can replicate it.
-I am also working on the absolute path for USB portability.
-Printing module is basic and I am reviewing it.
-Did not think about Maximize the software. If I did left it as is for manual re sizing.

Movie Info Search is now V1.5.6.0
It address a problem/suggestion discovered by MIDAS.

Options TAB > Portable Mode On/Off

Code: Select all

You can turn the portable mode on/off on the fly or make it permanent until decided otherwise.

Once again Thanks to MIDAS.
