In the Country panel you can select, edit, add and delete countries. The countries entered here can be used to defined the country of origin where the film was produced.

In order to rapidly go to this panel, just press F8.

You will need to select a country when you are either registering a new film, editing an existing film or searching for a film based on the country dimension. To select a country do as follows:

• Click on Select in order to enter into select modus. The text field turns to white. This is the default modus.

 

• Enter a text into the Search Field. Only countries containing the entered text will be displayed.

 

• Click on the Country you want to select. The selected country including its ID are now shown in the ID and Search Field.

 

• Click OK. Fun Search goes now automatically back to the panel where the selection is needed.

An alternative and quick way to select a country is to press the Ctrl-key followed by the ID of the given country. For instance, the key combination Ctrl+7 will select the country with its ID equal to 7.

Note as well that once a country is selected, you can change to the Edit or Delete modus without losing the selected country.

You can edit the name of an existing country whenever you want. You may need to do so if you for instance discover a misspelling (Rusia instead of Russia) or decide to change the name of a country (change from UK to England).

Regardless the reason for which you would like to edit the name of a country, just follow the steps below:

• Click on Edit in order to enter into edit modus. The text field turns to blue.

 

• Click on the Country you want to edit. The selected country including its ID are now shown in the ID and Edit Field.

 

• Enter a new name for the selected country into the Edit Field.

 

• Click OK.

Note that once a country has been edited, all registered films that refers to the edited country are also automatically updated.

You can enter any number of countries into Fun Search. The items you enter here will be available later to define the country of origin of your films. This information represent a very useful dimension to rapidly locate films from a specific country. To add a new country do as follows:

• Click on Add in order to enter into add modus. The text field turns to green.

 

• Enter a name for the new country into the Edit Field.

 

• Click OK.

Delete a Country

When a given country is no longer needed, you may like to delete it. Even though this is an operation that is seldom needed, it helps to save space in your Film Library File. Note however that a country can only be deleted if none of the films registered into Fun Search is refering to it. To delete a country do as follows:

• Click on Delete in order to enter into delete modus. The text field turns to orange.

 

• Click on the Country you want to delete. The selected country including its ID are now shown in the ID and Edit Field.

 

• Click OK.
