How to batch add only images on movie list of 700 movies?

Have imported all other information on movies via an Excel file.
Is there a painless way to quickly add only the images from IMDB.
The IMDB script keeps requiring that I uncheck boxes for director, comments, etc., etc. for every movie. This gets tedious. I also do not have bandwidth to import all the info so would like to just import the images.

Thanks in advance.
:D

You can uncheck the boxes in the list at the bottom-right of the scripts window.
If you run the script just after having checked/unchecked fields there, these will be remembered for that script.
Note that the bandwidth used for importing other info is nearly nothing: it is on the main movie page, which has to be downloaded anyway to have the URL of the image ;) Be sure to also disable options to get extra summaries, extra crew info, etc.

Thanks a million!
Works great. :) Great app.

(Wish there were a dumbed down interface just for adding new movies; I don't think my husband can handle the complex interface - which I love for all its features, he's used to just entering info in a spread sheet for each movie. I will try to customize the icon bar to make it easier for him.)
