El Capitan glitch with Download Buddy
November 5, 2015 by Ron Elemans
During testing of the upcoming new version of Download Buddy, a problem has been discovered that also affects the current version of Download Buddy. The Add to Download Buddy system menu item is not immediately visible after installation of the app. This is a bit disappointing, because it's one of the USP's of the app. Happily there is a very simple workaround: the menu item becomes visible after a restart of your Mac or after a log-out/log-in cycle. We hope that this issue will be solved by Apple in an upcoming update of OS X.

Movie Explorer 1.4 released
June 15, 2015 by Ron Elemans
Version 1.4 is a rather large update that contains the following new features:
Support for TV Shows
The all new TV Shows module will extend the file scanner with new capabilities to properly recognize TV Shows. It will collect specific TV Show data and present them in the new dedicated TV Shows view. This view shows all your TV Shows grouped by show and season, and sorted by episode. Furthermore, all views in the app have been extended to show specific TV Show data and images. This module is available as an In-app purchase. Click here for more info and screenshots.
Revamped Movies view
The Movies view has been completely rewritten in order to be faster and more flexible. You can now resize thumbnails from small to extremely large. In addition, you can set the quality of the thumbnails. Low quality will result in short download times with less stress on local storage, but will also be less sharp. Higher quality settings will result in the opposite.
Other improvements
- The visibility of the columns in the Cast, Crew and Studios view can be configured by using the right-click context menu on the table view headers.
- The TMDb data source page can now be opened for movies and TV shows by using the Alt key on the IMDb context menu item.
- Added extra metadata columns to the Files view.
- Enhanced detection of movie titles that are year numbers, like '1984'.
- Improved support for non US keyboard layouts.
- Added support for double-clicking to confirm a match in the Match dialog.
- Tweaked content update mechanism to prevent unnecessary data refreshes.
- Added missing genre and flag icons.
