Changing the field names that could be ok, changing the data in the fields is not done. But as you said it is in your local and you never contribute any more. So don't try to convince other users this is good, practice it is not.

ROFLMAO

I discover Giga Andouille's last stupidity through Skip's quote.

First, it is stupid to adress directly to a user that you perfectly know he blocked you.

Second, it is stupid to speak of good practice. Each user bought this program to use it as he wants, and since Ken implemented a translation possibility, why not use it. For some users, their hobby is to contribute bad data (rules forbid to contribute good ones), and for others, it is to have a local database clean of spelling mistakes, with correct spelling of actors and directors, and the CoO that matches...

To finish, I remember a recent thread where we were speaking with Nadja of unfriendly forums. The smileys chosen by Giga Andouille are a good illustration of my position : agressive, as this user is always.


As defined by you, of course. You know more than the people who make the films and create the Cover Art.

It never occurred to me that you might be on speaking terms with ALL of the actors in the film business and thus could speak authority to such things.

Dare I say it.....nah!!!!!!

What I know, as all the World except dvdprofiler rules, is that when the creator of cover art uses FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT, that means François Truffaut and not Francois Truffaut.

And when a creator of cover art makes a typo (I know very intelligent people that often make typos), I really do not see why to keep it.

But you are deviating from the presented data and that is what you fail to understand. We are accurate to the data as it is presented, NOT based on somebody's wants, wishes or imaginings. Those are for your local. I have tried repeatedly to explain it to you, surfeur. You simply refuse to comprehend it, I really don't understand why or what you find so hard to understand. You have YOUR idea of accuracy and Profiler has its idea of accuracy, that doesn't mean that either of them are WRONG, unlike you try to present it., it means they are different nothing more or less and YOUR version of accuracy is not Profiler's  and belongs locally as you well know.

We don't use cover art, should have known this for years (5 years DVD Profiler user)
The credits and common name by the credits. And nobody but yourself has wriiten FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT. All that ever was implied: FRANCOIS could be François or Francois and you could not tell be the all caps credits.

I totally agree with Yves, I also think it's rediculas to keep spelling mistakes. And also if the author of the program gave you tools to modify the data to your own personal preferences, like "translating" selections you would never use, I don't know why you wouldn't take advantage of this possibilities. Of course submitting these modifications is impossible or against the rules, but it's great if you want to create your own little perfect world.

that was to translate from US English to another English or Language, and not to personalize the software to your concept of how the software should work: Afghanistan stays Afghanistan what ever language you translate in. Afghanistan is not Singapor or whatever substitute you are using for it.

I don't understand the animosity here. I don't think anyone is saying that what you do locally is anybody's business but your own. All they are saying is that it's not sound practice to tell others to use a translation file in a manner other than it's intended purpose due to the possibility of accidentally contributing errorneous data. Not that you have told anyone to do so .

And I don't see that "danger". I think we are all adults and everybody can decide for theirselves what problems could arise, and we don't need no forum police to stay silent.

Martin:

Just because you don't see or understand the danger doesn't mean there is no danger. You want to correct spelling mistakes like Yves...be my guest but keep it locally.

I don't care what you do locally and I don't want to hear abouit it either. Like I said earlier, I am not saying you are wrong, that is your measurement of accurate data that's fine, but it is not the yardstick that Profiler uses to measure accuracy. Yves is simply upset because he wants to do things HIS way, which is not the Profiler way and he will drone on and on and on about it whenever he gets the chance. Many of your ideas are also contrary, that's fine, just keep them where they belong.

I'm not at all upset. I love dvdprofiler as it is and you never saw me in the beta testing forum asking when is the next release, and I don't wait for "mondays".

Simply this software allows many possibilities among which every user may choose what he wants. I saw many people asking for italic and bold in overviews, and I just cannot imagine for which purpose it could be useful for me. But I didn't say it was not good, if some people wanted it. You do not use translation file, good for you, and I do, good for me.

So let me do what I want, anyway, you can bark as much as you want, I'll make it my way as I have always done for five years. And you never found anything I did wrong to sabotage your sad idol, the online database...

Okay, my friend.

The only small bone i will pick, is this one

"sad idol, the online database.."

There is no need for such a comment. Profiler uses a different yardstick than you do, It "measures"accuracy against REAL data which can be SEEN. That does not make it more correct than your yardstick, it does not make yours wrong, it simply means yours is not profiler and that as I have said many times is just fine. All that you need to do is recognize that, there is no need to disparage the Online because it uses a system which is different from yours.

Dvdprofiler is a program, and uses no yardstick for everyone's database. Users do, so there is your yardstick, mine, and every other user's one and none is better than another.

Dvdprofiler may be used with local database= online database, or local database has nothing in common with online database, or with one of the intermediate possibilities which are quite infinite.

When I spoke of idol, I made reference to your posts that seem to ignore the fact that dvdprofiler is also designed for a local use, and when in forums we discuss of the program, it may have strictly no relation with the online database, and there is no need that you tell us "OK if it is local" : We already know that. And I said sad, because a narrow view of the program only through contributions or downloadings makes people miss many interesting possibilities of it
