My point was really that the scan path is more important (as MyFilms will only really work properly if it has a folder to watch) and I'm coming from MP's Videos section, MovingPictures, etc all of which require the scan path to be set, but not a separate search path. So when I first saw MyFilms setup, I naturally assumed that the most important fields were on the first tab and that the "Movie Path Configuration" section was just a different way of saying "Movie scan path".So whilst you're right that the wizard puts the same path in both sections, the confusion arose when I saw the Movie Path Config section and thought "well surely I want to scan subfolders, so I should tick that" and I think I thought the dropdown next to Search by Movie's name was to select which field was used to store the Title after it had been found by scanning the files and grabbing the correct title from the Internet. Of course, much of my confusion could have been avoided by reading the tooltips properly, but it still might help avoid confusion if, when you get round to re-doing the Setup GUI, the more important Scan path was shown on the General tab and (if necessary due to lack of space) the Movie Path config section was moved to another tab or hidden.  Maybe that's enough, although perhaps renaming Movie Path Configuration to Secondary Search settings would help to avoid users mistaking it for the Scan path settings. I thought of Backup Search settings, but that could be misunderstood as searching for backups <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />That's for sure <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> I agree that, for myself at least, there doesn't appear to be a need for a selection for different use cases in the Wizard and it does a pretty good job of setting things up.Cool. I'll try and refrain from any further observations about important/unimportant sections and wait to see how the new GUI turns out <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Thanks for clarifying. I thought that was probably the case but decided it was best to ask to be sure <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Yes, perhaps predefined profiles might be useful and I guess there's no reason why the tickboxes can't be left in place for the less common situations, so that only the most common are covered by profiles and the rest can be managed by the user adjusting the setttings manually.</blockquote>
