981005 --      Included Gerhards new Background graphic into the tar.
	       The font selection feature now works pretty stable. 
               Implemented an automatic detetection if an older version
               of KVideolist was used on the system. 

981004 --      My health is going to be better now, and I installed the new
               LED design (formerly called "Rankingbar") made by Gerhard. 
               Very nice. Fixed a bug with the "PreTaped" Selection. Fixed a
               bug reported by a user, the "MadeIn" Selection was not saved.
	       Added a font selection dialog into the configuration dialog.
               The user can configure Title, Original-Title, Labels and 
               Cast Fonts. Some work needs to be done on this.

	       


981002 --      Installed Gerhards new about-graphic, very cool. No good 
               progress these days. Import is still unstable and out of 
               concept, IMDb Autofill in Batch is still not ready. Still I am
               ill and I am about to decide to let Import and Autofill out of
               Stable 0.92...


	... I was ill and laid in bed some days...


980928 --      Great! Installed my new Suse 5.3 Linux and got KVideolist to
               compile on it. 

980924 --      Ready with the changes in dbconfig.cpp and in KVideolist.cpp
               which were essential for the import feature. 

980923 --      Ok, here is the plan: The ASCII import function will be like
               the one in StarOffice 4.0. Thanks to Heiko Beikuefner for
	       the idea. Implemented a skeleton function for importing. Started
	       changes in dbconfig.cpp for the new import dialog/function.

	       

980922 --      Some dramatic changes in KVideolist's look when a background
               image is enabled. Some changes in the importer.cpp routine.
               At least I have a "plan" how to make ASCII import now :-):
               extremly flexible. Implemented the ASCII-export function.
	       Gerhard had a new idea for the ranking graphic. It now looks
               like an equalizer... will implement that tommorrow. Updated
               the files README and INSTALL for version 0.92.

 

980921 --      Autofill routine in multiselection mode works much better now.
               Added a FailedList Splitlist class to afsstatus, which records
               the movies where the IMDB has nothing found. All this is still
               very unstable. Fixed a bug in the Save/Save as feature.
	       Aaarrghh! A complete redesign of Gerhards graphics from himself!
               (like so often!) now, it looks even much cooler then yesterday!
               I hope he finds the best combination of themes until 0.92.
	       Some cleanups in export.cpp,import.cpp, and moviedialog.cpp.



980920 --      Autofill routine in multiselection mode works now, but still
               very unstable, some work needs to be done on this. Integrated
               Gerhard's new graphic set for stable v0.92 - very cool!
	       Added a "select all" feature for into KVideolist.cpp.
	       Made some progress with autofill in batch mode... but still
               not ready.



980919 --      Implemented some core widgets into KVideolist.cpp, made a
	       new class "importer" with a file selection. I still think
               about the way to implement import. Either make it flexible,
               but not easy to use, or define a static text-format, but 
               easy to use. Wrote the beginnings of a Autofill routine
               in multiselection mode. 


980918 --      Unfortunately, I've still problems to compile kspread from
               koffice. Added a information widget in Autofill, if the 
               IMDb did not found a movie. Added a text field into 
               the configuration dialog, where the user may enter the
               format of his ASCII file he wants to import.  
    


980917 --      Compiling KOffice today. "mico" eats up all memory :-)
               


980916 --      Completed the changes in KVideolist for "Original Title" and
               PreTaped. Added a Save As / Save Feature to KVideolist. Should
	       work, but untested, need to make a conversion routine.
	       Ok, Save works ( afaik ) and I wrote a conversion routine.
	       Some cosmetic changes in KVideolist.cpp and in convert.cpp.
	       Some cosmetic changes in the configuration dialog and added
               a "Autofill Rule" Combobox, needed for the planned feature
	       autofill in batch mode, the user may autofill the movies he 
	       selected in MultiSelection mode. Made some cleanups in 
               KVideolist.cpp

               



980915 --      Added a multiselection feature to KVideolist to enable batch
               operations. The user can select the movies he want and
	       can set various attributes on them (e.g. the subclass...).
	       He can also delete selected lists. Multiselection makes it
               extremly easy to seperate a large list into subclasses. 
	       Added a PreTaped / Taped Feature to KVideolists dataformat.
	       Allows to differ between tapes that are taped and those
               which are bought. Added a "Original Title" feature to the 
	       database. 
	       Some work in KVideolist.cpp has to be done to get this working.
	       Also, a new convert-routine is needed.                
	       



980914 --      Now the autofill feature works like most users expect. I think
	       I found a good solution. Enter the name into the title field,
	       click on search. If it is directly found, KVideolist fills all
               automatically, no more needs to be done, that means no "AutoFill"
               button anymore. If there are more choices, the user just does
	       drag and drop.
	       Fixed very much parser bugs. Autofill works on much more movies
	       now. 

980913 --      KVideolist loads the last used DB automatically. The user can
	       deactivate this feature in the configuration dialog, if for
	       example one uses more than one database. Added a status widget
	       on startup (useful if the user has a large database and loading
	       lasts a few seconds). Added a cool search function: The user
	       can enter the name of the movie he searches for in the Title-
	       field in the main window. While the user types, KVideolist tries
	       to make auto-completion with what it finds in the list. If 
	       KVideolist shows the correct movie in the list, the user can
               press enter to complete the entry. Puh, long description.
	       Well it's just like the TAB-Feature in BASH. 
	       Updates to the english SGML documentation file.
	       Brrr... the IMDb changed it's HTML format. Bad News. I had to
               get rid of automatic filling of the "producer" field. But in 
	       the end, they were fair. It required some fixes for the 
	       release year, and KVideolist was able to autofill movies again.
	       Finally, I plan to completly redesign the Autofill feature
	       again.
	       

   

980912 --      Made the German Documentation ready and included it in the
	       source. Wrote the complete de.po. Changed Graphics for 
	       Ranking and some cosmetic changes.

980910 --      Updates to the Documentation. Placed a combobox for genre-
	       chooser in the main-window. Made all essential fields in 
	       the main-window clickable, connected to the search-function.
	       For example the user clicks on a member of the cast, the list
	       will be searched. Some cosmetic changes. 
	       Brr... Translating the KVideolist documentation is a time 
               consuming task. I made 3/4 of the German-SGML this night.



--> Uploaded Snapshot 980909

980909 --      Fixed an evil configuration bug. Created a release-notes 
	       messagebox in KVL. Updates to the help SGML. 



980908 --      Added a small QLineEdit into the main window. Enables the user 
	       to quickly jump to a specific tape number. Added the "SubClass"
	       feature to KVideolist. The user can define some special kind of 
	       movie, and is able to select these very quick from the main
               window. Added extensions for the type of video tape (E240 and 
	       so on), what's planned here is a check for free space on the 
               tapes (the selection is not yet implemented in the input 
	       window). Added a new conversion routine to mlist.cpp for the
	       new format. Made some changes in moviedialog.cpp to enable 
	       SubClass and some cosmetic changes.


980907 --      Upgraded to QT 1.40. Fixed compile errors reported by several
	       users. KVideolist compiles on HP-UX. Fixed an error in KVL
               constructor. 
	       Fixed the Autofill discussion. The Autofill Button
	       will only appear if the IMDb made a direct hit.


980906 --      Christian announced KVideolist on Freshmeat. Great, it brought
               some new users to KVideolist. ... and some new suggestions 
	       and bugs: first ... this evil Autofill bug. This bug (playing 
	       with that "Autofill" -- at least 2 users who mailed me about)
	       brought me to a complete new design of the autofill feature.
	       I plan to implement it at 980907 :-)
               second: a nice feature for the main window: selection of tape-
               numbers. Planned for the next snapshots.


--> Uploaded Snapshot 980904

980904 --      Some cosmetic changes.



** KVideolist sleeps one month...

	        ...    sweet sweet holidays 
		 
			Norway rules ...

** KVideolist sleeps one month...


980804 --      Made some changes in README.


980803 --      OK, egcs upgrade is complete. Made some major changes to be able
	       to compile KVideolist under egcs. Some user-friendly changes 
	       on the Export and Convert Dialog. Compiled koffice-suit today
	       but unfortunately KSpread won't compile. (KSpread is a cool
	       target for KVideolist). Another Idea is to port the statistics
	       to KChart. Made updates for the documentation (Export-
               description and so on...)
 


980802 --      Upgrading to egcs tonight. I've heard KVideolist will not 
	       compile using egcs. 


980731 --      Fixed some dialogs in Export and Convert. Made Statistics to 
	       show in correct size. I need someone who is able to convert a TIFF
	       file to a KDE-Icon.


980730 --      Fallen back to the old Add/Edit Dialog. Had some bad experience
	       with that QTabDialog. It will now be an KNoteBook. Implemented
	       an "export" Interface and export functionality for kdb (Database
	       viewer). (ASCII is selectable but does not work) 


980720 --      Changed Statistics into a QTabDialog, needs some work.
               Gerhard Bauer <gerhard.bauer@erlangen.netsurf.de> made a
               cool Icon for KVideolist. Updates for the files README,
	       INSTALL, AUTHORS, NEWS.




980719 --      A very old bug, the program remains in memory when the last 
	       window is closed -- fixed. Changed the Movie-Add/Edit Dialog
	       into a QTabDialog.


...


980716 --       Fixed the Autofill button bug. Some changes in the
		./configure script.


...             brrrr  ... got no time...



980619 --	We are something closer to 0.92! Col Needham from IMDb
		allowed me to include the autofill-feature! It works
		but is not bugfree. Great improvements with the printlist
		dialog, this piece is nearly ready. If the bugs in autofill
		are solved and the printlist dialog is ready, 0.92 will 
		finally be released.


...		Made KVideolist more user-friendly: *very* much tooltips
		have been added. 


...             Ahh, %$&$! I thought I would write a Changelog... :-)
		Well, KVideolist is growing, that's ok !
		Documentation directories "en","de" and "ro" are now in
		the snapshots. v0.92 is still far away. 
		I await the answers of IMDb's Managers to include a magic
		feature in KVideolist --- autofill of Movie data!


980521 --	< ... > nearly at stable-release 0.92. I want to complete
		the list-printing and soooo many bugs until it comes to 0.92
		

...
		Another time of uncontrolled hacking :-)
		Fixes so many bugs I cannot count...


...		Somewere at between this dates was stable-release 0.91.
		Thanks to those who helped me with Documentation and 
		Web-Pages ....
 		


980414 -- 	Fixed uncontrolled Edit/Add Window
		Fixed Window Caption error on Load	


...


0.3 	     when the code is stable again, I'll try to write a Changelog again



(8 days later)
sorry. No more time to manage a Changelog!
:-)



0.2         built the basic code for movie-database in C

0.1         Compiled my first KDE-KTopWidget!
