This is awesome!I still think that it would be great to expose this regexp for advanced users; it doesn't even have to have a GUI interface, and can be edited in the old-fashioned way in Options IMDb+ Scraper.xml directly - as long as this setting will be kept on between automatic scraper updates. Here are some of the "special-edition" type tags that I could find in my collection that are not picked up by current regexp (not all of these make sense for the general whitelist, I'd much rather add the ones I want to see rather then rely on general whitelist):(Unrated Director's Cut)(Extended Director's Cut)(Extended Collector's Edition)(Special Collector's Edition)(Special Extended Edition)(Collector's Edition)(Ultimate Edition)(Special Edition)(Limited Edition)(Deluxe Edition)(Extended Cut)(Uncut)(Remastered)(Criterion Collection)(Superbit Collection)(??th Anniversary)(Argento's Cut)Speaking of special editions, an interesting pickle is Apocalypse Now Redux (2001). themoviedb lists it as a separate movie, alluding to that users, critics and director consider edits to be so extensive as to constitute a new movie. imdb, however, has only one tt-id, and that is for Apocalypse Now (1979). The best I can think of supporting the redux version is with name like Apocalypse Now (Redux), with (Redux) being recognized as a special edition tag. This will still get me incorrect (original) year and original summary, but it will be correctly displayed in the movie list, and will allow coexistence with the original, 1979, edit. I don't think I can achieve it any other way while still using IMDB+ as a scraper.</blockquote>
