[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 1073120, member: 27204"] [COLOR=#ff0000][B]Ant Movie Catalog 4.2 [BETA] (03/11/13) is NOT compatible with MyFilms![/B][/COLOR] As the AMC changelog states: The latter statement does [B]not[/B] apply to XML format. There is no way to save XML in 3.5 or 4.1 format. Of course MyFilms does not yet support the new fields: Date Watched, User Rating, Writer, Composer, Certification, File Path, Extras etc.. However, the main issue is that Date Watched, Writer and Certification use the same field names as the current custom fields supported by MyFilms. When you save your catalog in AMC 4.2, it converts the current custom fields, and they are no longer recognized by MyFilms. [B]That means you will lose all data stored in Certification, Writer and Watched fields. [/B] When you try to save a config in MyFilms Setup that has been saved in AMC 4.2, Setup will warn you that it contains custom fields not supported, and data will be lost, but by then it is too late ;) [B]While it may be possible to modify MyFilms to support the new fields, that would break compatibility for anyone using older versions of AMC. So bottom line is, don't upgrade to AMC 4.2 yet![/B] [/QUOTE]
