Either through dedicated buttons or not at all. Or maybe I would even provide quick access buttons for fanart and thumbs and let the user choose the rest via a modal.
This is ultimately a feature that the skinner could control. Right now however, I am forced to use the new method, which has no benefits and means more clicks in my case.

since i hate all those "edit blabla" buttons in dialogvideoinfo (it´s an info dialog, not some configuration dialog), i would go even further and move all buttons which are related to editing database info into one dialog (--> dialogselect or whatever).
that list could contain...
- refresh movie with local info (-->.nfo etc)
- refresh movie with online info ( --> default scraper)
[- refresh movie with installed scraper x]
[- refresh movie with installed scraper y]
- change thumb
- change fanart
- change artworktype xxx
...
and perhaps also "edit title" and some more from context menu.
that would reduce the number of needed buttons in dialogvideoinfo to 1.
the number of clicks for refreshing a movie also wouldnt really increase since you also have to answer a yesno dialog in the current implementation.
the additional scrapers in that list would be a nice feature addition since tryin out a different scraper for specific movies is really complicated at the moment.

The current implementation already means an additional click compared to Eden.
Where in Eden I could navigate to change thumb and then choose a thumb, I now go to change art, select thumb from the list that pops up and then choose my thumb.
This certainly doesn't break XBMC, it's just an inconvenience I stumbled across and would like to avoid.
To be clear, I'm not speaking of a revert, but of providing some sort of backwards compatibility, so the skinner can choose wether he wants multiple buttons or just one.

I split up the thread to keep the changes thread compact and to the point.

I'd go with phil65 on this one. Move as much as possible to dialog select.
Let XBMC fill a scrollable list, plenty of space that way to also move some context menu stuff to there like:
Link to TV Show
Remove from library
Edit title
Give every option a <label2> some optional function description?
Default Icon for options?

Yeah. And reading that thread i now also agree with topfs2 about moving "update library" out.
That might help make it more clear that "scan for new content" is for the selected item only.
Opening the sideblade to update library is not considerably harder.
Maybe change the name of "scan for new content" to "update item" to have a naming convention more similar to "update library".

'Scan for new content' is better as 'Update item' implies everything will be updated.
