Download DVD Profiler 3.5.0 build 1240

Invelos Software released version 3.5.0 build 1240 of the DVD cataloging program DVD Profiler a few days ago. This program was originally released by Intervocative Software, but creator Ken Cole started his own business. DVD Profiler distinguishes itself from similar programs in that it does not use online movie databases, such as Imdb, for example, but a database that is maintained by the users of this program themselves. The unregistered version has only a few restrictions until more than fifty titles are added to the database. After that, however, the functionality becomes a bit pinched off. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:

New Features

• Added profile-level Copy and Paste, with custom pasting options. Can paste to a particular profile via DVD->Paste and to multiple profiles via Collection->Flagged->Paste.
• Photo Gallery: Added per-profile Gallery with customizable thumbnail view and slideshow. Collect and display images for your favorite movies.
• Custom Collection List View: Users may now define and select a custom collection list view, with all the power and flexibility of the report designer. Look for downloadable layouts with custom list views as our talented users upload their creations.
