Hey again #8

So new update, glad to see progress, hope you're doing good.

Now down to business: 1) got really sad to see that your program no longer supports my PPC G5 on 10.5.8, was it intentional, temporary, or accidental?

2) I got nothing but errors with the Sets Manager on my macbook pro on 10.7, so i'm not sure if it's mountain lion or if it's the program, what i got was some really long error so i uploaded it to make it easier for you to see:

Heyaloa Jay,

1) I was trying to see if people noticed if dropped PPC support, I for one don't own a single still working PPC Machine that runs OS X, since it's been about 5+ years since the intel switch, I was wondering how much of ViMM's user base was still using it. For now, you're the first and only one who's noticed. ^^; I can build PPC Support for a while longer, but eventually I will have to drop it, especially if i want to switch from a Carbon App to an even more native and speedy Cocoa App.

2) The sets manager is currently in an experimental phase, which I will hopefully be able to stabilize. I in fact already created a whole new set manager from scratch in my private builds. so just maybe, it'll solve the problem in the next alpha. But just in case it won't, a few questions: Did it manage to add the sets before it crashed? you can check this by either opening the Harry Potter .nfo files in a text editor and see if there is a '' tag in there, or by refreshing the movie list and reopening the sets manager and see if they're still added to the list. Try again with other set names for other movies first, see if it's just 'Harry Potter' or every time you try.

1) maybe make a separate build for ppc? I still use my g5 for work and home so I can say I will probably be on it for a while longer, but I do own a MacBook pro that supports so it wouldn't be a complete pain

2) it did not, weird thing is it will ask me continue or exit and exit will not crash the app, as continue did so that's probably why the sets weren't applied

3) side note but love the renaming of files and folder, running xbmc on my iPad works a lot faster at refreshing info now

1) I'll think about what i'll do, for now at least I can still easily support PPC.

2) 'Exit' is the one that actually continues? I should switch those names around then. xD

3) In the next alpha, the rename files should be even better, whereas the current version keeps any file's current naming convention, the next version will change your file names based on your settings. Where you might currently have a 'poster.jpg' in your movie folder, it'll actively rename any such files to '.jpg' depending on your file name settings. ;)
