There are a number of countries missing from the fixed drop down "Country of Origin" list. Egypt is one of them, Uruguay is another, not to mention all the countries of the former Yugoslavia region that are coming up with award winning movies every year . It is very frustrating not to be able to manually add a new country of origin. Any suggestion how to fix this?

This is something only the programmer can fix... hopefully in the next update.

Don't get your hopes up there. There is only the one programmer... and he is known to be... uh... lets say on the slow side. There hasn't been a new version of the program since February 4, 2011... so hopefully it won't be too much longer.

You might want to add this request to the Desktop Feature Requests forum, where you'll find similar requests.

Because of the way the program is currently set up, when a new country is added to the CoO field, it also adds a new locality.  Ken, currently, will not add a new country without knowing its rating system, or having proof that there is no rating system in that country.

So the easiest way to get him to add a new country is to find out what the rating system of that country is and post that - I think in the requests forum.

I suggest to Ken that he takes a look at the attached link below that shows ratings from most countries in the world, including some countries that are missing from the Invelos CoO drop down list, such as Egypt.
