How to Disable v0.9.9.21 in Win7 from minimizing to taskbar?
I can't see an option to this in preferences while running under Windows 7
I would like to just have it to minimize but to the icon for starting it that is pinned to the taskbar.

According to:

Have you changed the name of scripts?
Original name of the script is: Imdb Movie.psf

Yes Thanks this is the problem.  When downloaded it actually comes down as Imdb+Movie.psf not "Imdb Movie.psf" as you stated so I simply deleted the '+' sign instead of replacing it with a space.

Thanks Ivek23
Now the IMDB rating and votes are updating with only one step.

Thanks ivek203

I downloaded the imdb+Imdb+Movie.zip and extracted imdb+Imdb Movie.batch to the plugins directory of PVD but how to invoke it to get it to work?

Plugins in Preferences shows the imdb+allmovie selection and there is a imdb+allmovie.batch file in the plugins directory.
Within the plugins directory I also have in addition to yours and the allmovies one listed above aimdb+kinopoisk.batch and a imdb+kinopoisk_people.batch file but in the plugins under preferences there is also no listing for anything to do with kinopoisk.

I updated to 0.9.9.29 with your link above but still, the IMDB rating does not change when I rescan (Ctrl+Alt+I) for movies I already tried to get the IMDB rating for.  So is the problem suppose to be fixed? or Not?

Can you perhaps briefly explain what the difference are between v0.9.9.21 and 0.9.9.29?

If I had to choose one option, it would be the second.

I cannot see this helping... My problem and I would guess others as well is simple.  When no data can be found under the Title given for a movie; when scanned through IMDB, "Nothing" is entered in as text for a web search period. It has nothing really to do with where to search.  I don't want to have to use the keyboard. I use my mouse only for I use the TV as my main monitor the actual pc is 8ft away from the t.v. In order to put text into this search box its already a couple of steps to do with a mouse. and the same thing is still happening with this version. When no data can be found for a movie Nothing is entered as criteria to search for. so; How can I search where-ever if nothing is put in there?
The only problem I can see with v0.9.9.21 is the above and it is still not resolved in this beta version.

Thanks for your input though; I see by right-clicking on the toolbar and choosing Edit, I could add all the icons I had prior.
Thank you.

There is no icon in the Web Search section to initiate it.   Entering in some text then hitting enter does not work.
How are you suppose to use web search?

There are no pop-up remarks attached to the three (3) icons prior to Import:
so what are these icons (for or what do they do)?

I would also like to know if when fixed, the Web Search will be able to be monified in the settings to except and Display either the Original Title of the Movie, (which it is now set too in v0.9.9.21 and that which cannot be changed) or Just the Title you have given for this movie. A selection in settings.  Having this option will enable users like myself to always be able to do a web search at\from the place where I orginally found this movie. Thiis is especially useful when it comes to those movies when scanned and no data on IMDB's site can be found.  If I selected to Use Title when it came to displaying text in the Web Search box then it would always to possible to search from where I found the movie to get the IMDB url for this movie. Currently in v0.9.9.21 if no data is found for a movie, then there is No text at all present in the Web Seach box; you have to be either at the keyboard so you can highlight the Title of the movie and then hit "ctrl+C" to be able to copy and paste it into the Web Search box or Type it in the Web Search box or just use the mouse to double-click on the movie title so you can edit it and then high-light the movie title then right-click to select to copy and then right-click and again to paste it into the web search box... This is alot of work; whereas if Title was displayable in the web search engine instead of the Original Title it would make it that much easier to do a web search. This should be a individual preference and a selectable option in the settings for the Web Search criteria to be used.   

Ok, so tried to use it a little bit more.  When I selected Web on the top menue, The Web Search section disappeared selecting it once more, made it reappear and this time with the Icon to be able to use it.

By the way, where are the Preferences menu item where I can enter or change specific options?
Where is the Play Icon?
How or where do you select which of your vidoeo players to use to play the movies? 
I cannot Play any of the movies without opening the containing folder and then double-click on the movie to play it. Correction, I can also right-click on the Movie Title in the left hand column and select Play from the menue.
Where or how do you select or change the Skin?
All of these were found under Tools\Preferences in v0.9.9.21 but cannot be found in this new beta.

Thank you nostra.  Look forward to the next version.

I like to sit back on the couch and use a wireless mouse. I don't like
to be pestered with having to enter text with a keyboard/On-Screen keyboard.

because I add new movies to a directory structure such as:

As you can see from above, the movies that have not been placed within a FAIR, GOOD or T.Waster direcory
as yet, have not been rated by me as yet and moved to another directory.

So I got to thinking what about adding a 'Browse by Directory' or 'Open Directory' option under the 'File' menue.
This way it would save mehaving to enter text in the Search box for File Path.  With the option above,
I could use it and browse to a directory already scanned by PVD and thereby allowing me to see the listed
movies within it.

This saves me having to open windows explorer, then first, browse to the directory contain the movies and then
goto the address bar and copying the address just so I can now go back to PVD and enter in the Search Box this
copied File Path.
All this just to be able to see what movies are within it.

Hope the above helps you to understand a little better.

I was thinking more of toolbar icons which would be listed along with the others under Preferences, Appearance, Toolbar. Perhaps somewhere in the list near the Next record and Previous record icons.
This way the user can decide if they would like to apply them or not.
Forward Back buttons for File Path entries only.
Such as:
- Forward File Path Entry
- Backward File Path Entry

Note; These buttons will only be useable if the viewable item on the toolbar was set to File Path instead of the default Title + Original Title + Aka.  The amount of entries to be remembered should be user defined from say 6 to 12.

I've been using v0.9.7.5 of the IMDB plugin for about a month now and still this plugin will not download the IMDB Votes\users it gets everything else except this.  Why?
This is a script that connects to imdb.com to get that data from the site, correct?
If so, couldn't the script be modified somehow where when the script goes to this site (eg: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt....) it will search for key words such as "IMDb users" and once the wording is found the script will collect only the 'numerical data' from say the first 8-10 characters prior to this wording that was found; then somehow have the script extract IMDB Votes from it?

Edited:
Thanks. Rick.ca.... new v0.9.7.6 works fine.
