10. Questions and answers

10.1 I don't have "FSK" in my country - how can I use my own rating system?

Answer: First replace all entries of the "FSK"-Tag in your local config file. Then design the icons you need for your rating system as 22x22 xpm-files and copy them to $KDE_DIR/share/apps/kvideodb/pics/" (note: you probably must be root to do this). To work correctly you have to name the files just like your config-entries, but in lower case-letters and without spaces.

10.2 I have used kvideolist to manage my homevideo-collection. Do I have to type all data new?

Answer: No, you don't. Just export the data from kvideolist into ascii and use the program kvl2vdb from my package to convert the file into a readable format. Unfortunately, kvideolist doesn't export all data, so you have to add some though.

10.3 I have an sql-based database on my system. Is it possible for kvideodb to interact with it?

Answer:Not in the current release, but it is planned for future versions that the user may choose whether to use the built-in datastructure or operate on an extern database.
