Lending a movie
Discs come back more reliably when the program remembers who has them.
Lending
- Select the movie and press F12, or choose , or use the right-click menu.
- Pick the person from the friends directory — or type a new name, which creates the entry.
- Set how many days they get. The due date is worked out from that.
The movie is now marked as lent out; the list shows it and the card names the borrower.
Loan entire media in Preferences makes lending work on the disc rather than on the film: everything sharing the same Media label goes out and comes back together. That is what you want when one disc carries three films.
Returning
Press F12 again on a lent-out movie and confirm. It can also be done from the debtors side: F5 opens statistics, and on the Debtors tab a double-click returns one movie or all of somebody's movies at once.
Who has what
| Quick filter › Show Loans | Everything currently out. |
| Quick filter › Show Overdue | Only what is past its due date. The program also warns you about overdue discs by itself. |
| Statistics › Debtors | The same information organized by person. |
| Directories › Friends | Each person's card, with what they have now and what they had before. |
| Tools › Loan history | The complete record: every loan, by movie or by person, with the dates lent, due and returned. |
The history keeps growing on its own; entries can be deleted individually, or the whole history for one person cleared, from the friends directory.
A friend's card holds an e-mail address, and there is a button on it to write to them — convenient when a disc has been out for four months.
