custom scraper is ignored when clicking "refresh data", yet all others are disabled (1 Viewer)

i'm using a custom IMDB scraper from the forum (the one localized to UK so we get the UK certifications). i have set it to top priority, and also disabled ALL other scrapers, so it's the only one being used.

if i click "refresh data from internet" then the refresh still loads american data (with american certifications) from IMDB. if i instead click the down-arrow on the refresh button, to access the submenu, and click "refresh from IMDB" - which is the only choice offered, as i only have the one scraper enabled - i then get the correct UK data.

so the scraper works, and if i force it to use it then i get the correct data. but it shouldn't be possible for it to load the data from anywhere else, as all other scrapers are disabled - yet this is happening. i'm always wary of shouting "bug" when i find a problem, especially when using custom settings like this, but in this case i'm pretty sure this counts as a bug!

thoughts?

    When you originally imported your movie collection, scraper 'A' was used. This reference is stored, so disabling scraper 'A' and only enable scraper 'B', does not mean that scraper 'B' is used on a refresh. You have to sent all your movies back to the importer, so that 'B' is used for future refreshes.
