hello,

Can you add the possibilyt to retrieve informations from internet for several movies in "one click" ?

Thank,
Pierre

Some scripts have a "batch option" to retrieve/update any group of movies you choose, e.g. IMDB. Usually updating works the best if the script uses URL field instead of title field (only if the URL is available). Check frame "Script options" when you are on scripting window for available options on the script you use.

hello,

What i think is to avoid the different messsages box the firt time I retrieve information. Not the update which work fine. I imagine that the sofware can automatically retrieve information, without any confirmation message where there is no ambiguity, and skip the others.

It depends on the script you use, e.g. see IMDB script options > Batch Mode and you will see an option "Does not display any movie, takes the first movie found". Only few scripts have such option, so it would be helpful to know which one you want to use..

thanks, i understand how options work now.
IMDB get the first films. This can be cause of mistake. I think it's ok if there is only one film, but the script would ask the user if there is several films.

But for me i'ts ok now. I'have near finished import all my films, so i will continue one by one as usual :-)

Thanks for your help.

In this case you should set option "BatchMode" to "Normal working mode, prompt user when needed" and then experiment with the other options to supress unwanted windows (e.g. set option "DescriptionSelection" to "Take longest summary" so that no window will show there). IMDB script will skip asking for movie title then, if there is only one result available.
