[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1053024, member: 18896"] IMDb usually only has one single reference for a movie. There is just a page for "Avatar" no seperate ones for "Avatar 3D", "Avatar Extended", "Avatar Director's Cut". There are extreme rare exceptions, such as: Payback (1999) - [URL='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120784/'][B]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120784/[/B][/URL] Payback: Straight Up (2006) (Director's Cut) - [URL='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0958860/'][B]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0958860/[/B][/URL] The FAQ on the latter explains why: [URL='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0958860/faq?ref_=tt_faq_2#.2.1.2'][B]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0958860/faq?ref_=tt_faq_2#.2.1.2[/B][/URL] With IMDb+ however there is full label/tag support, so you can do whatever you want. This is done by support of labels as part of the folder/filename. Example: [LIST] [*]Avatar.mkv --- MovPic title » Avatar [*]Avatar (3D).mkv --- MovPic title » Avatar (3D) [*]Avatar (Extended Edition).mkv --- MovPic title » Avatar (Extended Edition) [*]Avatar (Director's Cut).mkv --- MovPic title » Avatar (Director's Cut) [/LIST] Any default supported label/tag simply has to be part of the filename within parenthesis and it will be imported into MovPic by adjusting the title (so that it is actual visual). You can also filter on this via "Full Path" and look for the same label/tag strings. It is therefore easy to make a custom category showing all your 3D movies by adding a filter "Full Path" + 'contains' + "(3D)" and you are good to go. To extend the usage of labels/tags within IMDb+ there is also a custom one you can use. To make it work you just have to properly define it via ([...]), so for example: [LIST] [*]Avatar ([3D Extended Director's Cut]).mkv --- MovPic title » Avatar [3D Extended Director's Cut] [/LIST] A custom label/tag overrules any default ones, and only one tag is supported (PS: There is some mixing supported, but its complex regular expression stuff, so not easy to list). "Avatar (3D) (IMAX).mkv" should be done as "Avatar ([3D IMAX]).mkv" I personally use it on the default tags for 3D, and Director's Cut, and then I tag any 720p/1080p duplicates with "([HD])" in the filename. The real purpose really is to allow for a quick differentiation between multiple versions. If your entire collection is HD, then it makes no sense, but when you see "Gravity" and "Gravity [HD]" in the list, it is easy to quickly decide which version to watch. Obviously you can rely on the MediaInfo icons as well, or setup awesome filters to pre-seperate your collection based on those criteria, but we all like things our own way :) [/QUOTE]
