Hello Everyone,

#Dummy1912 has been working on a movie project for his dad and we were talking about the artwork needing to be selected manually. I've come up with a small application that let's you display movies/games from imdb by Title or ID, and then let you add them to your collection.

Both the Application and the Source for this project is attached to this post.

Glad you liked it. Hopefully it can be to some use to others too.

You need to enter the right title of the film by the way or it won't display anything. That's probably the only bad thing about it. If you have the movie's ID though then it will display the movie. Also it saves the posters as an image in the startup path and a json file related to that one specific movie you save which contains all the information like runtime etc.

This could be made into a real app.. Just 2 requests though (Yeah, I'm lazy :P)

- Make the movie collection into a smaller grid, where the textbox is hidden until a movie is clicked.
- Make a small window close to the notification tray where you can quickly add a movie to the list.

I would definitely use this everyday then.

I wasn't going to be updating this but the source is available if you're wanting to modify it yourself :)
