is there a way to import movies? to just select a folder and then for every movie we have in a folder to enter the folder name, import the files and then import informations from the folders name.
Also it is able to browse our movies in a way like viewing files in vista (with the option from view: large icons)

To import movies, see last posts of viewtopic.php?p=17829#17829

Currently there is no large icons / thumbnails view, but it will be added in some future version (but do not ask me when

)

ok man, also it is a little annoying i have 60 movies on my pc and not of them has a large icon from imdb. and amazon import is not working? any solution to this?
Also the resize effect of the small movies is not good. too much pixels..

Try to use another script for the images then. IMDB is not very good for this point: the image is not easy to find automatically, and even do not always exist.
Did you try the options to get image from Merchandise or DVD Details pages, in the options of IMDB script?

Currently there is no real solution for the resize. I personally use small images only to not have to stretch them. In a future version I may include a more advanced image processing library to have a smoother resize.

You can uncheck all fields except image in the "modifiable fields" list (on the right, under the options)

Personally, if the IMDB doesn't return a large picture, I try Moviegoods, and then DVDEmpire.com (both give you watermarked pictures). I've noticed though that these also sometimes don't return a picture, but frequently if you manually visit these sites through your web browser you can find a decent picture.
