  1. Great, I like new feature and quick way you're updating !

    ps: is there a way to have the program see thate tehre is already a movie.jpg, so it doesn't ask to overwrite (unless wanted) ? :)
    (and the folder.jpg would be nice :)

    thanks!

  2. If you unselect the "overwrite existing thumbnails" the program is not scanning/prompting the movie files that already have the movie.jpg file.

    The management of the folder.jpg files is a simple draft now (allows only setting folder.jpg for the parent folder of the current one); it will be improved in the near future.

  3. Really cool program!.

    I suggest to add a Spanish provider for posters, to find the posters in this language of the files :-) (maybe IMDB)

  4. Happy that you like it :)

    If you can find a good source for Spanish movie posters that offers an API to search movies, I can add it very easy.

    I can try IMDB, but the cover they display has very bad quality as far as I remember. I anyway planned to take a look at IMDB because if I search a movie and I can localize it precisely in IMDB, having its IMDBId I can refine some of the other collectors search keywords (if they support search by imdb id).

    stip off (and what is behind):
