Early ;).

I don't know.

Feasible all :). But I will not start this job.

I completely agree.

For pictures I usually make two versions. For version 0.9.8.20 loading only one poster because of functional restrictions of a scripts engine. For version 0.9.9.5 loading of any quantity of any images is possible (now I work with prerelease of the fifth version given nostra for development). In version 0.9.9.4 one image of each type will be loaded.

* Allow the user to specify the image type to be saved as—poster, cover or screenshot. This could be done, of course, by using three different scripts. If that's to much trouble, then I think most users would want this for posters.

Idea good. Usually I add options in a script. But I will begin with posters.

* Add the imported images, rather than replacing existing images. If the script can't handle multiple images per video, it could still be run multiple times on different image file sets.

I think, addition will be in version 0.9.9.5. Or now in plugins. Now the problem consists in the program, instead of in scripts.

Everything is possible, believe me ;) The "problem" is that pretty everything except retrieving existing images is already there in 0.9.9 beta and it seems like Reset is going to write a script for images, so you will be ready to go pretty soon.
The improved screenshot maker and networking support will be available in the next beta which is coming out this weekend to 99%.

Consider an XML format making all possible fields available. You will make patch and probably a number of other users happy this way ;)

It's the DLL used by the program to read video file information when it scans them. Are you not seeing any such information (in the separate section toward the bottom of the video panel)?
--- Quote ---I guess the script that Reset is willing to make will work quite well in integrating with PVD and pairing the correct poster with the correct video.
--- End quote ---
Yes. And on an ongoing basis, I expect you'll be able (in 0.9.9) to use one of your automatic screenshots as a poster in a one-step operation.

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean there is a problem in the program which prevents a script from adding additional images?
