Release v2.2.0

Movie Collection Visualizer v2.2.0

This release introduces a major new feature: IMDb Watchlist Import, allowing you to effortlessly bring your curated IMDb lists into the visualizer. We've also overhauled the export system and polished several UI components for a more premium experience.

What's New

• IMDb Watchlist Import: Effortlessly import your movies by exporting your IMDb watchlist as a CSV and selecting it in the app.
• Movies imported from IMDb now display a direct link to their IMDb page instead of a local file path.
• Native Export Dialogs: Exporting your collection to CSV or PDF now opens a native OS file picker, allowing you to choose exactly where to save your data.

Improvements

• Removed the automatic removal of "missing" movies during sync to prevent accidental data loss if an external drive is temporarily disconnected.
• New "Import Collection" card with a stylized layout.
• Fixed a bug in the "Directors in your collection" section where clicking a director would sometimes show incorrect results.
• Other various bug fixes and UI improvements

Release v2.0.0

Movie Collection Visualizer v2.0.0

This release is a complete rewrite of the application. Everything has been rebuilt from the ground up.

What's new

• New stack: Migrated from Electron to Tauri. Installer is now under 10MB, memory usage at idle is roughly 70% lower, and startup is significantly faster.
• New UI: Rebuilt with Vue 3. Three-page layout: Home, Search, and Profile. Home screen features a hero banner and curated collection sections. Search screen replaces the old basic grid with filtering, multi-sort, and a proper search experience.
• SQLite database: Collection data is now stored in a local SQLite database instead of a flat JSON file. Faster queries, better reliability, supports richer data.
• Watched directory: Set a directory once in Settings. On every startup the app scans for new or removed movies and syncs your collection automatically, shown as a subtle indicator in the sidebar.
• Statistics dashboard: Moved from a popup to a full page. Includes summary metrics, charts by decade, genre, director, and actor, and a "Rarest Gems" section.
• Background import: Importing no longer blocks the UI. Progress is shown in a slim status bar at the bottom of the window.
• Export: Export your full collection as CSV or PDF from the Statistics page.
• Wrong movie correction: Now shows multiple OMDB search results to choose from instead of just the top hit.

Breaking changes

• The old db.json collection file is not compatible with v2. You will need to re-import your movies.
• TXT file import has been removed.
