Screenshots in 0.9.9.20

Thanks for the new release. :)

Unfortunately, there's a problem with the screenshot section. It includes a placeholder for a new image—even when it's not in edit mode. As a result, all my screenshot sections look like the attached. :'(

Mine too, if it's significant.

I prefer it this way, as it enables adding screenshots faster since you don't have to enter Edit mode.  Maybe there could be a setting in Preferences to toggle it.

rick.ca:
Since you mention it, I don't see any need for there to be an "edit mode" or a placeholder in the first place. There are already controls on the images. The only one that behaves differently is "load from file." It replaces the existing image, and should be called "replace from file." Add another one for "add from file"—to add another image after the selected one. Add a "delete" button, then everything—including some control over the ordering of images (by inserting and deleting)—can be done without having to go into edit mode. And without an ugly placeholder that ruins the display. This only thing that would make this better is the ability to drag & drop images to change their order.

The same change should be made to posters. It's never made sense to me that there are controls on the images, but I have be careful to select the placeholder to add rather than replace, and then I have to go into edit mode to delete anything. If accidental deletion is a concern, consider changing the behaviour of delete to "remove and save to specified (in options) folder." That would be sort of an undelete feature and would be quite useful. Consider the task of adding some manually downloaded images to a set of existing images. That might require deciding which images to use (of the new and existing combined), and placing them in the desired order. My suggested behaviour would allow any existing images to be replaced with a new one, then re-added in a different position (I would set the "removed images folder" to the same folder I download images to.

Such changes may take time to consider and implement. I'm hoping there can be some sort of quick fix for the ugly placeholder problem—like having it appear only in edit mode.

Anyone try to go into EDIT MODE to add screenshots?  Every skin I've tried (including the 'classics') are broken in 0.9.9.20...no image controls.  Also can't add screenshots via the screenshot maker...

Follow up:
If there are screenshots for the movie, they are displayed, and the image controls are available.  The problem seems limited to movies with no screenshots.
