Welcome.
it would be great if "silent mode" for plugin query could have additional configuration option to automatically select first entry when several titles are found, instead of skipping the movie.
Whether this (and your update process) is better depends on the failure of the search to find a unique movie and, if not, the likelihood the first one in the list is the correct movie. If the [Title] is reasonably accurate and the [Year] is also provided, the former rate will be low (maybe 10%) and the latter not as high as you might expect. The reason that is so may be entirely because the year will resolve most ambiguities.
That being the case, it's then more efficient to run the plugin unattended in silent mode. When done, all the skipped movies require your attention. Furthermore, those are easy to identify and you can be almost certain the others have been updated correctly. So select the skipped movies and run the plugin again—not in silent mode. It will keep you busy as it asks you to pick the correct movie for every one. While its downloading, you can check the data for the previous one to ensure you picked the correct movie.
I understand some may still have a personal preference for such things. But batch importing on a scale that matters is generally a one-time task done when a database for an existing collection is first built. Adding options in support of a variety of different approaches would likely create more confusion than the benefits are worth. As it is, the simple approach I recommend doesn't occur to many first-time users, even though it's very effective in most cases.
i query "TheMovieDB" to import only posters for those new movies entries (excellent source for posters imo).
Agreed, although I don't think the silent mode behaviour is the issue. Some of us would very much prefer that it would simply retrieve the default poster (the one TMDb displays). To choose a different poster, it's more effective to use the URL to visit the site and pick a different one. It's difficult to imagine anyone wants to download all the posters—as the plugin currently does.
When a poster image is open in the window to view it fullscreen, it would be great if pressing escape key would close that window
In the beta version, it does.
Here, i would really love an option to "remove all posters except this one" on poster thumbnail.
Also in the beta version: All images can be paste from the clipboard. This makes it easy to do things like copy one, remove all, then paste. Or visit a website, copy an image and paste it to the applicable container.
Nevertheless, 'remove all but one' would be useful. Maybe a clever way to implement that would be to have
Remove All remove all but the selected image—unless the selected image is the only one. To remove all
including the selected image, it would simply be executed twice.
