To both answers: yes (note all active scrapers are invoked in any case)
I've done all this mess exactly to allow to combine the scrapers as you like.
the fields will be filled based on scraper order AND only for fields empty and not locked, so for example if you want only the ofdb title but all other fields from tmdb the solution is to have ofdb as scraper 1 with only title checked and then tmdb as n.2 with all fields enabled.
for pictures instead all scrapers will provide the list, the only thumbnails will be downloaded to be shown in the imgpick dialog and when an image is chosen is downloaded of the correct size.
it is 10000000000 more efficient than before.
also now is 100000000 times easier to add a data scraper or, as I hope we will do, other image types.
extrathumbs are removed from the scrapers and will have to be added to the frame extractor plugin. From xbmc specs there will be only 4 named thumb1...thumb4
extrafanart will be re implemented in the image dialog or, maybe, the automatic scraping. The issue with the old options is that is now easy to have 100 fanart (as is the sum of all scrapers and now we have more sources too) so a save all is meaningless and often several are identical as they arrive from different sources.
I'm open to suggestions on how you think the auto extrafanart could work.
