The GUI



Most buttons and labels should be self-explanatory, but here is a little overview:

• You can zoom the shot by hovering or focusing the picture.
  
• Above the shot you will see who submitted this nice shot, how often it has already been solved and who solved it first.
  
• Under the picture you see the shot's id and release date. You can jump to a specific shot id via the jump button, the "#" down right.
  
• In the middle up to five of the languages WTM knows the movie's title in are displayed (You can choose them in the addon settings).
  
• In the first button row the four outer buttons are the navigation buttons (First, Previous, Next and Last).
  
• The three middle ones are "Back" - this will jump to the last seen shot, "Guess"- the main button to type a guess, and of course the "Random"-button.
  
• The two buttons down left are the "Favourite"- and "Bookmark"-buttons. You will make the uploader happy if you favourite their shots. Bookmarking is for just not forgetting this one :-)
  
• Down to the right is the "show solution" button (active for shots from "The Archive") and the jump button.
  
• Down center you can see the amount of votes, the rating bar and the overall-rating/your-rating label.
  

Hotkeys



You can define your own hotkeys for most of the frequently used functions (default keys in brackets):

• Guess (context key)
  
• Random (play)
  
• Back (rewind)
  
• Next Shot (page down)
  
• Previos Shot (page up)
  
• Jump to given shot id (show info)
  
• Bookmark this shot (home)
  
• Favourite this shot (end)
  
• You can rate the shot with the number keys, 1 => 1, ..., 9 => 9, 0 => 10 (higher is better)
