It could look like this: Attachment: Capture.JPG The controls are a little jumpy with too many scrolling but I'm trying to tune it to my taste. Julien This looks great. One of my most desired features of LDDB is to be able to look through my catalog of 1600 discs by cover. iCover is ok for 10 or 20 titles but anything above that it doesn't work well. Would love to see this upgrade! Wow! those space images through the link are amazing..... Thank you for sharing Kind Regards |

The default covers from CEDMagic website will take you directly there but if you submit a better cover (or even better: both sides) they will be updated with better ones. Julien That is funny. I noticed on the home page the CED slice was bigger than usual. I bought over 300 discs and decided as I clean and organize them with my others I would just go through the entire collection to check for inconsistencies in the database. I'm only changing discs I own though so I'm pretty sure I'm not responsible for all 600 of the updates. |

Any chance a new publisher could be added? Some videodiscs were distributed by RCA but only RCA/Columbia is an option. Maybe add "RCA Videodiscs" as an option. |

A quick coding session last night to try "auto-completion" on the quick search box: Playing a little with quick search auto-complete with ajax Tell me if it works for you! Julien |

Took me a while to sit down and spend a day replacing iCover 1.0 with iCover 2.0 but we have a BETA online now Attachment: Limitations:
If you know better JavaScript/CSS/HTML5 cover flows, I'm interested! Julien |

Julien, Thanks for all your time and effort you put into this. Any chance we can get a cover based view in our collection list? So instead of viewing the text list of our laserdisc collection, we can just view the covers as a regular webpage. It would be nice if we could just view like 100 covers (or more) per page. For example, http://www.blu-ray.com allows you to view your movie collection by covers. Here is an example of mine: https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=60161 for reference. |

It's doable now that we have enough pictures (that was not always the case!). A quick hack to see your collection by batches of 250 (it will only display the Laserdiscs with covers among the 250).

That's actually pretty cool. Sometimes it's easier (or more fun) to find a movie by the cover art. |

Just updated the code to add the full title/ref when hoovering above the thumbnails covers. Maybe the "click for next picture" is not the most useful features, it could simply be a link to the LD page. Julien |

Post subject: | Re: Some changes coming to LDDb.com |
Yeah. I agree with you, the next picture link is a little pointless as you are going to be selecting the title from the left hand cover page anyway. |

I'm soooooo rusty in javascript. Clicking on the big cover on the right panel will take you to the usual LD page now. Julien |

Julian, Maybe it's because I'm on a widescreen monitor but don't you think it would be better if when you clicked on the cover it would show up enlarged on the right side without pushing the small cover screen off the viewable area? It seems like there is plenty of space as all the small covers are in a relatively narrow column on the left. |

That wouldn't work on a smaller screen size and would require responsive CSS design... for which I have no skill at all! Julien |

Finally started working on: Upgrade graphics engine (for stats/graphs) JPGraph PNG images did a good job for more than 15 years but it needed to go and be replaced with HTML5 instead. I played around with frameworks and ultimately decided to use some of the donations to purchase a website license of Anychart for the upgrade. They gave me a nice discount since the scope of use was quite limited. Quick example. BEFORE (static) Attachment: AFTER (dynamic) Attachment: Julien |

the upgrade on the graph is excellent. I appreciate it. |

Looks nice, Julien. Always welcome upgrades to the site. |

Still playing around with Anychart! The country list to search for users was awkward, hopefully a nice visual treemap will work better! Attachment: Julien |

Sweden at #4 ain't bad for a country that never got Laserdisc. |
