Collection Statistics
After all the hours of cataloging your collection, wouldn't it be nice to be able to actually see your movies shown in graphs? Well .. that's what we thought, too! So we have built in a statistics screen that allows you to create graphs.
You can enter the Statistics Screen by clicking clicking the statistics tab on the right hand side of the details view (Fig. 1). You can lock the display to the statistics by clicking the padlock above the Details icon.

You can control what is displayed in the statistics screen using the toolbar at the top - (see Fig.2 below).
