sho Wrote:Couple of quirks, observed using foldername scraping:
1) if a movie that has not been scraped is selected, thumbs for the last selected movies will be shown.
2) File: will be shown as <foldername>.nfo rather than <actual filename>.nfo
Wouldn't it be best to read the filename rather than generate it?
3) If incorrectly detected, "Re-Scrape Movie" will not open the dialog the allows "select another title", it will simply rescrape the data of that incorrect movie.
1 - will fix soon
2 - The Full filename and path is stored, but for the first versions a seperate variable existed which contained only the filename, This is still the case when using filename scans, but for folder scans the folder title is stored instead. I overlooked the File label text, will fix soon
3 - re-scrape was more for files that already had the correct nfo file but perhaps had scraping errors, or maybe people wanted to update the movie stats etc. There is an option to change the movie within the edit form. I'll look into adding a seperate menu item to start this from the main window.
For your point from the previous post, the ability to use foldernames for the search is optional and only should be used by those who have only one movie in a correctly named folder. This was for the benefit of a couple of previous posters who stored their movies like this :-
Appleseed.2004.DVDRip.XviD.AC3-NDRT-cd1
Appleseed.2004.DVDRip.XviD.AC3-NDRT-cd2
ccfactory.fs.cd1.lrc.xvid
ccfactory.fs.cd2.lrc.xvid

As you can see IMDB would return no results for the above filenames. They did however say that each movie was in a correctly named subfolder. So I added a method which allowed the program to use the foldername instead.
This is also purely optional. In the Menubar/options, make sure the "Use Folder names instead of Filenames" is not checked. If this option is not checked then the program will use the filenames (minus the extension) for IMDB searches.
For people who have unformatted movie filenames such as those above, and have them all stored in a common drive then I would recommend that the movies are scraped in the normal filename way. This will still give zero IMDB accuracy, but these can be corrected manually. If all those movies are stored in a common folder, say "movies", then the combobox would show every movie as "movie".
For those that don't like the folder names listed in the combobox and would prefer the original filename then after the scan is complete and all the nfo's have been added then you can disable the folder name option to get the original view.
