New IMDb People v4 Script Discussion

afrocuban:
I understand. Thank you. It will be anyway easy to customize script to move the data back to comment field. It will be a matter of simple cut/paste only.

I too started with People script because I knew it is not used that much, so i could learn along the way. As you already know many solutions from People script are almost copy/paste to other IMDb scripts. So it will be easier for me to work on other scripts. I don't tend them to be "official" scripts. I kindly offer them as a community contribution. I want to learn because I want PVD to be alive for me at least.

VBScript (Visual Basic Script)

The vbs script was mentioned. But here comes the problem. it will be completely discontinued in 2027. Another problem is that apart from Internet Explorer (at least that's what I found on the internet) other browsers such as Firefox do not support vbs.

Here is a link where the withdrawal from the next Windows versions is mentioned.

Here is a link where the search engines in which vbs script works and in which it does not work.

I didn't know that, thanks. I tried Powershell, ConEmu and similar in the process, even python, but none of them were good alternatives. They were even worse than cmd. So, it will create bigger problems for Microsft I can already forsee.

Anyway, it's just a snippet to silently delete files, so that will not be an issue, and we will find proper alternative.

Until then, I see no reason not to do as all others: I will follow Microsoft and I will use vbs script.

For users of Firefox and other browsers, this may be a problem when using the vbs script to run the new Imdb.psf scripts.

afrocuban:
Oh, good to know, thanks! Does vbs script used only to delete tmp files affect chosen browser? Popups we had so far were happening only while cmd.exe were trying to delete downpage-UTF8_NO_BOM.htm, they had nothing to do with downloading it, so that is why I'm confused what I'm missing.
