You're kicking butt mate.  It's much appreciated!

is it possible to access to the synopsis area to change the text in a future version?

The synopsis area for the SERIES isn't used anyway, it's only there for reference.   The synopsis area for the EPISODE is changeable now.

Any chances of making one for Movies

Hi Tony,

Loving the new tool, but i have found with the new feature as noted below some episodes have no backdrops.

I tried Hawaii Five-0 2010 and it only came up with a couple of backdrops on some episodes, others had none.  I noticed the whole season just has 5 off fanart so is this the problem?

Now the ORDER of BACKDROP presentation varies with the episode number.  That way, as you scroll through the 
     episodes on the Hub, the different episodes' backdrops will initialize with a different backdrop.
     Example:   Episode 1 will show backdrops 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... 20 in that order.
                Episode 5 will show backdrops 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 .. 20, then 1, 2, 3.. and so on.

I just noticed the same issue too

[TonyPh12345]

Hawaii Five-O (2010) only has THREE English Fan-Art files.   The other two are marked as GERMAN, so they're ignored (even though they don't have any german text in them, that's how the user who uploaded them marked them for some reason...)

But, indeed, why some episodes had different quantities of backdrops:   That was a dumb math error on my part.  Sorry...    That's fixed now and will be in the next release.

Right now I'm working on a serious bug:   There's NO WAY to STOP this thing once it's started.    One has to go to the TASK MANAGER and try to kill it from there.  I had never even noticed this until I tried to kill the thing yesterday when I tested a series that had over 1000 entries in it!  

I don't think that's very nice, so I'm trying to figure out how to put a progress window up with a STOP button.   That's turning out to be more complicated than one might think!    Luckily, this is a weekend.
