"Also Known As" has to be selected in the IMDb plugin configuration (select the plugin and click Configure) as well as the field overwrite set.

Well,

I have noticed it recently, and I'm not sure if it's common behavior, but it seems that IMDb plugin causes PVD to freeze for 10-15 seconds while importing Tech specs. Anyone else has noticed it, or it's something with my computer configuration?

Works fine for me. What does your log indicate?

Sorry Rick, which log?

I just can't click on anything in PVD for 10-15 seconds when it comes to Tech specs. Now I'm thinking it happens because of my 1,3GB sized database, and Tech Specs is last importing data from IMDb, so PVD needs time to update record and database?

The size of the database should have little to do with how long it takes to add data. Activate logging by starting the program with the -debug switch. The log is then accessible from the Help menu.

Tech Specs are just the last downloaded, so you see the link and think that it has smth to do with them, but it is just PVD saving new data. The process of saving newly imported data can last long if your database is not optimized, too big or corrupt or if you have a slow PC (the speed and fragmentation of HDD are most important, but CPU and RAM should also be considered)

Rick,

Nothing about Technical, but with some scripts:

Nostra,

Yes, that's what I thought of.

I'll back up database, than optimize it. Anything could go wrong with optimizing?

Thank you both guys.

It depends on the options you select. The most error prone process is removing duplicates...

Yes it could be tricky, since I have duplicates in my collection and I want to track them also. Thanks.

A new problem: when I import an IMDb User Review to a custom field for a movie that doesn't have any User Reviews, the User Review from the previous movie from which I imported information is inserted instead.  Closing and reopening PVD will stop this temporarily, presumably because that clears the memory of the previous movie I imported information from.

Examples without User Reviews:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1564983/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1525835/

I would post a log as well, but when I start the program with the -debug parameter, there's nothing under the Help menu about a log.  This is what I used for the Target field of my shortcut:

Code: [Select]
"C:\Portable Apps\PVD Portable\PVD_Portable.exe" -debug
Using v0.9.9.21, Windows 7 x64
