Movie List Searcher1.0.0.0

Chances are you use video files as resources in your projects, or simply keep a large list of favorite movies on your computer. Finding items of interest can be a little difficult in a crowded database, but there are different specialized computer applications such as Movie List Searcher to help in this regard.

Devoid of any documentation to quickly get you up and running

There are a couple of things which need to be stated first, one of which being the lack of a setup process, meaning you can also take it with you on a USB flash drive. Second thing is that you need to have .NET Framework installed, because it’s built to benefit from its set of libraries, but it usually comes in the default set of Windows features.There are no particular visual elements to make it stand out from the crowd. In fact, you might find it a little difficult to get acquainted with all it has to offer, mostly because of the empty panels which aren’t fitted with any kind of tags or descriptions. Default search location needs to be specified first, while search is independent of any queries.

Configure search locations before each session

Setting up the source location can be done by adding one or more directories through the browse dialog. Unfortunately, it’s not saved so you need to define a location every time you run the program. In fact, this needs to be done with every search operation, because it’s discarded after the previous session.Hitting search enlists all detected video files in the located directory. Subfolders are not taken into account, and there’s no option to enable this. The application shows all files, as well as detected folders. Sadly, you’re not allowed to navigate, or perform any file operations, so the list is purely informative.

In conclusion

To sum it up, Movie List Searcher leaves much to be desired, feeling like a heavily unpolished product overall. It can take a little while to get familiar with its set of features, while lists, after a hard struggle setting up search parameters, are nothing more than simple information means.
