The second phase can be interrupted. But I have to wonder, having made the mistake of telling the program to scan your entire HD, are you really likely to do it again? If you do, I think having to wait or terminate the program is a suitable consequence. ;D

It does some sort of pre-scan - a miss-click at "desktop" is fatal ;) The scan for movies is np - works fine. But the pre-scan is weird.
--- Quote ---Good point. There should be a way of adding the correct URL via the confirmation dialog. A nice companion feature would be a link to the IMDb advanced search page. Both could be presented at the bottom of the dialog with the captions, "Search for more..." and "Paste correct URL here"—so the purpose of both would be clear.

Would be very nice :) Ive noticed that the IMDb fetcher doesnt seems to like movies with a dot in the title. Like "10.5" - it doesnt really know what to search for, eventho IMDb's first result for "10.5" is the correct one.

It would be alot easier if PVD just grabbed the poster directly from the folder. As a new user to PVD, its not very easy getting to work, as it is now. And if you dont know how .bat files works, then youre screwed.

Enhanced PVD capability to read (and write) locally stored movie information has been discussed on several occasions

Why would you do that? Have you not set the default folders to scan in preferences? The only situation in wish you would be making any selection is when you're very deliberately adding a specific folder or changing the defaults. In that case, you would have to be extraordinarily clumsy to manage such a miss-click.

I works fine for me, although such movies are not allowed in my database.

And your point? ;D

The IMDb search of the title works fine. The movie, however, sucks. ;)
