I. All My Movies is famous for its directories which make the program not just functional and extremely effective, but also very beautiful and "fruity".

Names directory is most widely used. Here you will find photos, biographies and filmographies of actors, directors, producers and many other persons relating to the movies in your movie collection.

 

There are several ways to get into "Names directory":

 

1. Go Directories in the main menu > Names.

 

 

2. In the Movie detail area of the main window left-click on an actor's - there appears a pop-up window:

 

 

Near sign you can see "Lookup details for ..." line, so click on it and you will also get into the Names Directory.

 

The Names Directory includes all the persons related to the movies in your collection. These are actors, directors, producers, scenarios, etc. Their names go to the Names directory automatically. The menu in the Names directory includes: Names, View and Sort by.

 

 

It displays in the window having two areas: Person list on the left and Person detail area on the right as shown below. Over the Person detail area you can see letters of the alphabet. So, if your movie collection is large enough and the Person list is even several times larger :), click on the letter which goes first in a person's name and the Person list displays only the names satisfying this condition.

 

 

As can be seen in the picture, the Person list has got names coloured in a different way. Green-coloured names are for persons having a name card filled in. If a name card is empty, the name stays white. By the way, if the name's card is filled in, then in the main window of All My Movies in the Movie detail area the person's name is in bold and when you point to the name with a mouse, there appears a pop-up photo of this person and brief info including birth date and birth place, as shown below:

 

 

You can also change the view of the Person detail area - two templates are available here: Indian and Standard.

To change one, in the Names directory go View>Template and select the template you like.

 

In the Names directory you can sort names by: name, age, rating, actor popularity, director popularity and scenario popularity.

To sort names in a way, in the Names directory go Sort by > and choose one of the criteria.
