When I went to Movie Collector, I discovered that the movie release year on some 9,000 of my movies has disappeared from my Movie Collector list view. These dates were all there yesterday. And they are all on Movie Connect, just as they were!
When I go to the preview window, which shows the movie cover, etc., the release dates are all there, and they are on the Edit screen “Movie Release Date,” all as before.
What’s happened? Can you help?
Could you show me a screenshot of the missing data?
Is this the “list” view with columns? If so, maybe you can drag the column a bit wider?
I just added volumes 1 and 2 of the old “Bat Masterson” TV series. Movie COLLECTOR shows no release date for Season 1. Movie CONNECT shows a release date of 1958, which is correct. Movie COLLECTOR shows a release date for Season 2 as 2012, which is wrong. The correct release date is 1959, which is what shows in Movie CONNECT. For both volumes, the correct release dates of 1958 and 1959 both clearly show in the Details panel.
Two more comparisons between Movie Collector and Movie Connect. Collector is missing release years; Connect has them all.
You mentioned in your first post that the edit screen does show the correct release date if it doesn’t show in the list column,
can you please show me that in a screenshot? (I don’t need to see “working” ones, just the ones that are not working, and only on Windows)
I’m still not sure if this is a display problem or a data problem so I’d like to see that first!
Problem solved! I did not realize that on Movie COLLECTOR, there are 2 Release Date settings in each movie’s edit screens: “MOVIE RELEASE DATE” on the Edit page, and “RELEASE DATE” on the Format page. (On Movie CONNECT, which I have been using lately, there is only one option, “RELEASE DATE.”) When setting up my Columns for the List view, I somehow selected the RELEASE DATE and not the MOVIE RELEASE DATE, which prevented me from seeing all the release dates for all my movies. I’m not sure how this happened, but clearly it did. The problem is now solved! Thank you!
On Movie Connect in the Edit screen you have “Release Date” on the MAIN tab.
Then on the EDITION tab you have the “Edition Release Date”.
So both dates should be available to you!
Thank you! No matter how long I’ve been using your movie software apps, I still learn new things!
