For a plugin, I was thinking of a configuration option, just like the IMDb plugin has configuration options. For a script, it would be sufficient to simply include the option in the script (i.e., the user could edit the script to set the desired option). Essentially, the choices would be, "just get the largest poster available" or "ask me to choose."

sunspot:
ad 1. (not in search) Got it, thank you. Did not expect the "containing" to be clickable.  ;D

ad 2. (large/standard option) Also IMPawards. Right now, there is first the selection "which posters" and then - if available - for each poster again whether it should be standard or large. Lots of clicks. It leads to the user choosing the option silent download of all images.
But this is nothing of first priority, just another little extra.

ad 3. (reset search) Ok, got this one, too, thanks. Good Button. BUT it is not very intuitive: If you click on the right side of the internet search field, it means "go searching". Clicking to the right side of the database search field means "reset standard view". And both fields are next to each other, on the same line. Or is this just me?


Lastly, a short question. I just imported hundreds of movies from external drives and optimized the process. I could give a short list/description for new users how I think it can be done efficiently (what works, what not in view of the results returned) and I have some ideas for minor improvements. Would this be useful for anyone here?

deazo:

 To me yes, curious to know how do this, especially with posters (Impawards blocks my IP after a few movies)
Thx

Different icons don't normally mean the same thing just because they're in the same position relative to a similar object. It's just you. ;D

Yes. Do it while it's still fresh in your mind. Those of us with established databases don't do this anymore, and probably don't remember the issues well.

Yes
You could add it to the wiki, maybe near here http://www.nimidia.com/pvd_wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Importing-movie-details&structure=PVD-Manual
