Post Movienizer 5.3 Updates
Great new version, as always... just gets better and better :D

I have 2 questions, though.... and probably stupid ones :oops:

Firstly, having individual covers for seasons of a tv series is great, but can the covers be seen anywhere other than in the seasons tab of "edit info"?
I was hoping you could display them on the main page, like shots from the movie, but I can't find any such option to do this.

Secondly, downloading backdrops... are these backdrops for use within movienizer? If so, then how?
And on the topic of backdrops, even though my download options says to download three, I don't see them in the pictures tab of "edit info". So where
should they appear?

Thanks so much guys for a brilliant product, and hope to hear from someone soon

Having fiddled a little more, regarding my first point, I see that the season covers do appear on the main page, on the seasons tab, but they only appear next to Episode 0. Noticed this with Heroes, as an example, Season 1 has Episode 0, so the season 1 cover was displayed. Season 2 started with Episode 1, so no cover was displayed.
I then added an Episode 0 to Season 2 and the Season 2 cover was displayed.

Soooo... is this a bug? Shouldn't the Season Cover be displayed next to the first episode of a season, rather than next to a specific episode?

Also, when adding more than one tv show at a time, season covers are only downloaded for what appears to be every second tv show. For the ones that don't download, I have to go into "edit info" and "get movie info from internet" for them to download.

Also noticed an issue with movie (or tv show) covers... In the left pane, right clicking on a missing movie cover and choosing "find cover" does not appear to work any more :(
It gives me pictures to choose from, I select one, it says it's downloading but it doesn't show up. Nor is it in the pictures tab in "edit info", so I have to download the cover from there.

Regards, Mandy

Actually, this is a planned feature, not implemented yet. We wanted to see some response to the new feature first, and we did not have any idea where exactly the covers are to be shown :).

Backdrops are especially nice when you need to create a catalog for some hardware media player, like Dune (Movienizer currently supports several ones), however, you can use it for any purpose (for example, show them instead of shots etc.).

It depends on which script you use, backdrops are currently downloaded with the IMDB script. Did you check the "Backdrops" subtab of the "Pictures" tab?

Thank you for the hint, we will check this issue.

We are aware of this issue and will fix it soon. There were significant changes in how pictures were processed in the program.

Thanks for the response Vlad.
As for scripts, I *think* I'm using IMDB, but still not seeing the backdrops. But it's ok because I probably won't use them, and no-one else seems confused. :?

I'll keep playing. I love this program.
