[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 818107, member: 27204"] hey doveman - your point about the confusion between Movie Search path vs Movie Scan path is a good one. However, remember only AMC users need to enter a Movie Scan path. Other catalogs scan/import in the catalog. The only reason AMCUpdater (and those settings) exist is because Ant Movie Catalog never really had that feature. That is why the Movie Scan path displays on the Internet Grabbing tab, all of which only applies to AMC users. I am not sure it is logical to add a setting to the General tab that only applies to specific catalogs even if it is the most common one ;) Of course, the concept of a Movie Search path is new for many users. I think My Films is the only plugin where you don't have to link to a source file if you don't want to, or if you move the file, it will find it for you if you search the path it has moved to. So perhaps we should highlight that a bit more in the Wiki to avoid the confusion you point out. In fairness to Guzzi, it is not only that he has not had time to rework the Setup GUI yet (or was not bored enough yet LOL). We have had many long discussions about it, and we both agreed we would like more feedback from users once My Films 5 has been in use for a while. So we decided to keep all options as discoverable as possible at first, and then see which ones were most confusing before we start deciding what should be 'hidden' as advanced settings.
