thanks Michael. Just one point, the option to manually put a number in
does not appear to work. I note that themoviedb has urls like
http://themoviedb.org/movie/13609, so I assumed if I put 13609 as the
"imdb" number popup box it might find the right movie, but it doesn't
appear to work. This is important to people who's filenames are even a
little mangled.
