    • The problem that prevented to clear the date on some operating systems (Windows Vista, 7) has been fixed.
    • Added a HTML viewer to display information of movies according to HTML template selected (HTMLDefaultTemplate.html by default).
    • In HTML, the search terms are selected in bold red.
    • Information of movie selected in the list is no longer directly updated when the user changes a character, because this operation takes a lot of time when there are many movies in the list.
      The information of the selected movie is updated if necessary when:
      • The user moves the mouse over the list, or the left area of the panel FrmMovie (X <90).
      • The user presses enter or escape key in a field (entrer key is ignored for fields Description and Comments).
      • The user clicks on the header of a column, the button to stretch the list.
      • The user pastes the information from a movie after a copy or cancels the changes.
      • Otherwise update are managed in the function SaveCurrentItem (e.g change the selected movie, adding a new film).

    • Debugging functionnalities for scripts: step by step execution, breakpoints, variables watch list, etc.
    • Scripting engine can now use external files: when you put a unit name in the "uses" of a script it will search for a file named like this unit and having a .pas or .ifs extension in the same folder.
    • "Import picture" and "Link picture" have been merged, radio-buttons are now displayed in the "Select picture" window. Options in Preferences window has been added to specify if you prefer to store or link the picture, so it is not needed anymore to modify scripts for that.
