Product Description:
yFlicks is a movie player and organizer that not only lets you view and arrange movies in static groups its versatile tags feature lets you categorize your movies any way you want. You can even tag your movie automatically by querying Amazon's online movie database, which gives you the additional benefit of having the corresponding DVD cover art downloaded automatically. And once you've done so, creating smart groups based on your tags and subdividing those smart groups by tag values will let you browse your movie library by Genre, Actor, Director, MPAA Rating, or Year, for instance.
And if you're a Front Row fan, you'll love the fact that usher mode lets you access the full complexity of your yFlicks library via Front Row.
What's new in this version:
- [fixed] solved an issue which resulted in a hanging yflickscrawler process and, consequently, non-working preview image creation with QuickTime 7.5 installed
- [improved] worked around a bug in Apple's URL loading frameworks that resulted in long download connection delays under certain circumstances (background info for fellow developers: NSURLConnections based on NSMutableURLRequests don't obey their timeout setting, so we had to emulate that time-out)
- [new] French localization
- available languages: English, French, German

or at least almost.
My biggest gripe with YFlicks is that it beachballs (sbod) on me after every adjustment, tweak, or file organization I make. And I mean EVERY time (on all of our Macs):
SBOD Insanity
• YFlicks startup = 60-240 seconds every time
• I hit ⌘N to create a new folder = 20-45 second sbod before the folder shows in the navpan (every time.
• Initiate (click) the renaming of a folder = 5–20 second sbod, every time.
• Immediately following the renaming of a folder = 50–80 second sbod after every single rename.
• Move (drag) a folder to a new location or level in the hierarchy = 60–180 second sbod, every time.
• Adding video files to a folder = 120-180 second sbods.
To compound these frustrating wait times, there exists a set of small but equally frustrating YFlicks nuances that turn me off. The process of creating and organizing hierarchies inside of YFlicks, while by itself is only a small annoyance, often requires unecessary steps that consist of the aforementioned sbod triggers. (Ahhhhh!)
e.g. After creating a new folder (20secs), the name field of the new folder doesn't activate the name field by automatically focusing the name as a selection. A step in the right direction is the fact that you can hit the Enter key to edit the name field, but again, why not just focus the new field upon creation?
It would also be nice not to have to remove hands from the keyboard in order to drag and drop new groups into lower level hierarchies (60secs). Instead (a la itunes), upon hitting ⌘N, it would be nice if a new group/folder was created underneath the selected, existing group/folder.
One more little one, any reason why empty folders exhibit a disclosure arrow?
I hope YFlicks is optimized in the future, such an advance would keep it in serious running for adoption!
