[QUOTE="dir, post: 520415, member: 24485"] I've just tried this and have a few questions on the interface: I manually edited the ini file to point it to my movies directory. When I ran the program, I didn't know what to do - it wasn't clear which button I was supposed to push to have it start the scan and import. I eventually clicked on the "Scrape" button and it started. I think it needs to be made clear how to start the scan/import. I've now discovered that if you click on a line in the log file that starts with "COVER:", then the rest of the fields fill in details. I didn't know this after the full scan was finished since the fields all remain blank. It's only when I accidentally clicked on a COVER: line that things made sense. Up until then, I couldn't figure out what all the other fields are for. I guess in hindsight, the current layout doesn't really make sense to me when I first see it... The full scan has finished and it did a good job of finding images. But I think after scanning 1600 movies, I need some way of reviewing what it's done. The only way I can see is to either click, or use the arrow keys, to highlight each "COVER:" line in the log file, which is a really slow way to review each one. Perhaps the up/down arrow keys should only jump from COVER: to COVER: rather than all lines in the log file? The images that are displayed are not scaled to fit the window, so it's hard to see if the image is good or not. I'd like to either resize the gui or have the image scaled proportionally to fit the window. I'm not sure if the app is supposed to be able to do this, but I couldn't find a way to search for only one movie cover. After reviewing the ones it had found during the scrape, I wanted to then select a movie and have it re-search for covers. I guess that's pretty silly since it will just find the same one again, but it would be great if it popped up a window that shows multiple images so that I could choose a better one. I'm aware that I can put a URL in manually, but that means going out of the app to find the url, which makes it a far more complicated matter. [/QUOTE]
