Option in Setup to Select which Grabbers display #16

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What area does your enhancement or feature relate to? (i.e. Confg/Setup,
GUI, options, Skin, AMC Updater, Grabber Interface, etc.)
Setup
What is the purpose or benefit of the new feature or enhancement?
As there are more and more grabbers scripts for MyFilms, it would be nice to be 
able to select only those you use. So when you select 'don't use default 
script' MF displays a list of grabbers you use instead of the whole list of all 
grabbers.
How would you expect it to work? Can you illustrate it with examples such
as images (screenshots), scenarios or examples from other Plugins?
The setup option could be similar to Search/Update Properties settings (i.e. a 
line of grabbers.  OR a button that opens a dialog where you can check/select 
the grabbers you wish to display.

Easiest solution would be just to delete the grabbers you don't need - no 
change in MF code required - so the question is, if it's worth to add even more 
options to MF setup to achieve that?
Imho IF we want to improve that part, I would prefer to add a language setting 
to the grabber scripts and let users select the languages to display (similar 
to AMC) - that way, new sripts "matching" your selected language would 
automatically display.

Deleting them requires users to do it every time they update MyFilms.

However, I like your idea of selecting Grabbers by language. It won't be 
perfect for all, and grabbers used mainly for covers might be harder to 
classify by language (unless they only provide covers in a specific language), 
but I think it would work for most users.  At least it keeps the list a bit 
smaller in MF GUI :)

While thinking about it a bit more:
A good solution could be achieved by doing TWO things:
1. add laguage setting, as mentioned above
2. add a "user scripts" directory
That way you can achieve:
1. only scripts matching your selected language(s) will display - and yes, they 
will always be updated/overwritten
2. scripts from user dir could always be displayed - so if a user uses certain 
scripts only for artwork - or has customized a script for his purposes, he 
could just put it there.
3. He even could decide not to selet any language, thus only scripts from user 
dir would be displayed.

Now added new tags to scraper scripts: "language", "version", "type".
Language allows filtering for certain languages (setting in MF setup)
Type identifies capabilities of the grabber script - so only valid entries will 
be displayed in the respective menus (e.g. details, cover, multicovers)

Need to update screenshots for Internet Grabbing tab and add explanations re 
filters - also to Grabber Scripts wiki page.
