[QUOTE="Guzzi, post: 1088870, member: 55213"] MyFilms 6.1 with included AMCupdater is compatible with DB format that is used by AMC4 until version 4.1 - so everything will be as before, yes - you can manage your DB with either AMC4.1, with AMCupdater or inside MyFilms GUI. AMCupdater (you're talking about the included app in MyFilms package, right?) will be maintained within the MyFilms package. If you use standard install, it will be updated when you update MyFilms plugin - if you have manually installed it elsewhere (e.g. on a server to update/import your catalog there), then you have to manually update that instance. As said before, the new AMC4.2 changes DB schema, so if that should be supported, both MyFilms and the included AMCupdater would have to be adapted. The really bad thing (beside introdusing such a DB incompatibility within a minor version number) is, that the added fields in AMC4.2 conflict with already existing custom fields in MyFilms. As said, before, since it is not simply an extension, there is no way to easily handle both formats, once I change the internal structure in MyFilms it's be unusable woth old format and we probably need a converter to convert old to new format - so that is a "hard cut" and a hassle to update for users. Because of that, I have currently no motivation to implement that - and who knows, when we'll get the next breaking change? As long as AMC4.1 works nice, we're ok imho. [/QUOTE]
