[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1103516, member: 18896"] To keep the rename dbase as small as possible, I made IMDb+ scraper-script as smart as possible. Meaning that when Roman numerals exist on the title, the sortby will copy it (only need to modify it into numbers when series has more then 8 movies, because "IX" screws up sort order, which is what lead to the "X09" postfix, to make sure it sorted after "VIII"). When 2nd movie was actually released; I forgot to add "I" to the title of the first one and remove the sortby for it. However what I have on my ToDo list is to learn from my apprentice and copy what Merlyn did for FilmInfo+, meaning I just make IMDb+ smart enough to add "01" at the end of every title (even non series), so that I never have to deal with that mess again of some movie turning into a series afterwards and you have to refresh that 1st one you already imported to get the sort order fixed. I am pretty good to stay ahead of the curve though on famous shows, which is why X-Men: First Class had that sortby added to make sure it would sort before 2nd one. Did that before it was in theaters as I knew in advance 2nd one was already approved by the studios. Some movies not due till 2016 are for that reason already in the rename dbase as well. It is just a lot of added work that the auto "01" addition would fix. Of course the IMDb+ own article remove system is really needed then, which is why it has not happened yet. This is because it requires an update to the IMDb+ plugin to make that work, and finding free time for that has been my archilles heel for little over 2 years now due to my new new job. It's my own fault as well, I keep getting swept away on other little personal projects, which currently consists of full blown HomeAutomation via Z-Wave. I suffer badly from the "Ohhh, shiny new toy!" syndrome, or to keep it movie related "Squirrel!" (from [URL='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1049413/'][B]Up[/B][/URL]). But I did make myself a promise to have it done before or during the Christmas break. Last year that did not work out so well with me getting very sick, and then suffering a big personal tragedy, so IMDb+ will be a nice break this time to not dwell on that. Stay tuned... [/QUOTE]
