Frequently Asked Questions This are the most
asked questions which received me via mail.
The Delete and Play
buttons are disabled. How can I enable them? The Delete button can
be enabled in the General options. the Play button
is enabled if you select a playable file on your
hard drive in the Location field of a movie.
I can't find the Loan
tracker? It's located in the
Movie Details Panel in the main window. To open this
click the small arrow in the bottom center of the
main window. The Loan Tracker is just below the thumbnail.
Can I sort the list of movies in the main window in
another way? Yes. Just click on
the header of the column you want to sort your list.
Clicking again changes the sort order.

movies to change the order they are displayed in? You shouldn't. You
can sort your list on any column visible in the main
window by clicking it's header. clicking again

I want to move EMDB
to a new computer or want to reinstall Windows. How
can I keep my database? Create a backup of your database and all thumbnails to a safe
place (other hard disk, network drive or memory
stick). This can be done in the Database section of
the Options dialog.
After installing EMDB on another PC or reinstalled
Windows restore the backup (using the Restore button
in the database section of the options dialog).
I can not add or edit
movies as the Add / Edit dialog does not fit on my
screen. You are probably
using large fonts (125%). You can switch the Add /
Edit dialog to use a tabbed view to fit on the
screen. You can enable this feature in the General
section of the Options dialog
I want to import
movie data from another website than imdb.com. How
can I do that? EMDB always imports
from imdb.com as that what it is based on. Localized
Plot outline can be downloaded from MovieMeter.nl
(Dutch), IMDb.fr (French), IMDb.es (Spanish),
IMDb.de (German) and IMDb.pt (Portuguese).
Does EMDB work on Vista and Windows 7? Yes. EMDB works
perfectly on all versions of Windows Vista and 7.
Is there a version of
EMDB for the MAC or iPhone/iPad? No. I don't own a
MAC. Give me one (preferably a MacBook) and I will
create iEMDB ;-)...
Can I update to a newer version without losing all
my movies and/or thumbnails? Yes. Just install the
new version. Don't change the default location
provided by the installer. This should be same
location the current version of EMDB (and your
database and thumbnails). The database will be
completely available in the new version.
I would like my own
name to appear in the title of EMDB. Is that
possible? Yes. You can order
your own customized version of EMDB
here.
I want to make a
backup of my data. How can I do this? Use the manual backup
feature in the Backups section of the Options
dialog. Browse for a safe location (e.g. other
hard disk, network drive or memory stick).
Do you also have a
database like EMDB for my CD's or Books? No. I'm sorry.
