Fast video cataloger 9.4 is now (19/7 2025) available for download, if you already have FVC installed click on the Upgrade button in the help menu. If you do not have FVC installed you can get the latest version from our download page.
Here is a list of improvements and fixed bugs in version 9.4- You can now see and edit the color tag for a video from the details window. You will find the dropdown right after the “Title:” text.
- On the Action page, you can now specify an action that runs when the program starts and another action that runs when the program shuts down.
- -run:action_name runs a given action when fvc starts. Note that the action name cannot contain spaces.
- New feature to run an action triggered from another program. To enable, check the “pipe action” and select the action to run. When the action is triggered, it will get its argument from the other program.
- We have also added a small new command-line program, fvc.exe, that you can run to trigger the action. The arguments given to fvc.exe are the arguments passed to the Action you have selected. You find the source for the program in the echo sample folder.
- We have also included a sample action and a new interface that allows you to write data back to the external program. This new feature provides a simple way to connect FVC to other programs on the same machine without requiring the server to be run.
- The keyword manager now features a column that displays the groups to which a keyword belongs.
- The keyword manager can now filter by keyword types, including video keywords, scene keywords, and actor keywords. We also added a filter for parent keywords.
- In the keyword manager, you can now remove keyword groups from a catalog by right-clicking the group name in the dropdown and selecting “Delete”.
- The Actor window now has two mouse-over buttons: one to add the actor to the cast of the selected video. One button to filter videos, only including those with the actor.
- Companion images can now be viewed in the external MPV viewer instead of in the companion preview window. We added similar options to those for MPV videos. You can select to always use MPV, use MPV if ALT is pressed, and choose to use one or multiple MPV windows. The configuration for mpv image settings is located in the MPV folder.
- Fixed an issue with adding an actor to the cast of multiple selected videos, where only the first selected video was added.
- New server documentation is included in the installer, ServerDoc.chm. Alternatively, you can open it from the server admin application.
- The TagInstance struct in the API now also contains the parent ID of the referenced tag.
- Fixed crash when using the tag tree in the keywording window and pressing enter with nothing selected.
