[QUOTE="fforde, post: 953389, member: 52082"] I think the only major functionality that is missing right now that exists in the config is merging and splitting. The importer itself (the thing this new UI sort of sits on top of) is mostly event driven and is not tied to any specific UI, so anything that can be done in the config should not be too difficult to add here. As Edalex stated, you could currently select a movie to match to a file, choose to permanently ignore a file or enter new search criteria. The first two are currently a dialog and the search criteria is a second dialog (although if you have something else in mind I am open to ideas). It might also be nice to add an action to just play a video file (I imagine sometimes people will not want to deal with matching things properly, just wanting to press play as soon as possible instead). A progress bar would also be an option, we have a 0-100 integer that could be published as a skin property. We could also make available counts of various types of items, for example the number if items pending, currently being scanned, needing approval, and committed. It would also be possible to separate these different types of items into different lists if you thought this might help to create a more usable UI.
