Sorry, one more: I personally don't like the added display-case look for the poster images. I would prefer to not see it, so an option would be nice. At the same time, more and more options aren't always a great thing. So if I had to cast a vote, it would be to simply display the image as is, no modification.

A debug mode might be helpful, especially at this early stage where a bunch of errors are still cropping up.
I guess the faux DVD case isn't very accurate anyhow, so I might just remove it in favor of showing the picture a little more. I'll think about it.
When downloading images i'd also like to show of a list of preview images, something like Ember, the current solution was simply the easiest to manage for now.
When you're using sort title as such, it does make more sense to show title, and it makes sense to use sort title for sorting titles rather then for displaying them. I'll try it out.

I see bugs are running away in fear :-) Great work.
Some suggestions:
- Icons (grid) view could be very useful.
- An option to define what will be scraped. I do not use all of those banner, landscape, so an option to turn those off and leave only what I need would speed up app, save the bandwidth (both mine and metadata provider's)
Thanks.

Initially I build this project just for the images, so I'm surprised to hear that someone wants to use it without them.
But it's a valid option that may be useful, so I think I can put it in.

If it helps, I would still want to have folder.jpg & fanart.jpg :-) with nfo files so I don't need to scrape them on all 3 machines :-)
I just don't like landscape.jpg and logo.jpgs and I don't need extra banners as I can choose between banners and posters in your app and scrape accordingly.
Now, I'm so happy and grateful that I finally have MM for Mac so I can ignore a couple of unused images in my folders.

DrPepper - Have you tried pointing to a samba share on the NAS that only has a few movies? I did that during my initial testing just to make sure things were working (and then later when I was testing the one that failed for me).
That way you can know whether it's the speed of the data transfer, or just something else entirely. ie: if loading 10 movies works just fine, the program obviously works on your computer and it's something that needs improvement with the loading code or your networking setup (lord knows mine needs improvement). but if it still doesn't work then you know your network stuff isn't the issue with this program, and it's something else for MariusTh86 to debug.
Just a thought, as your scenario has me quite curious (I'm a beginner programmer so I can't always talk to many details, but the logic behind things piques my interest).

Ahaha yes.. i forgot to remove that..
Don't worry, it doesn't do anything else then change the title.
