### Album Art for your movies!
Transforms your movie folders to look like movie posters with imdb ratings.

## Instructions
## Overview

Quickly find your movie trailers, notes, etc. and view imdb ratings from within Windows Explorer.

* Raticon will help you the right rating and cover image for each movie in your collection.
* You can process your whole collection at once, or you can have Raticon automatically create icons when you add new movies.
* The app will process your collection using the **name of each sub-folder** to lookup the imdb id. This means any files relating to a movie must be in a folder named after the movie.

## Instructions

### Add Folder

* Click "Select Folder" and select your movie folder.
* When all films have loaded click "Make Icons".
* You can 'Watch' a folder to automatically create icons when a new film is added.
* You may need to clear your thumbnail cache and restart explorer for the icons to update.

### Film Search

* If the film has an ambiguous title you will be asked to pick the correct film.
* If the sub-folder already contains a `_imdb_.nfo` file it will use the id from that file.

### Cache Location

* If the wrong film has been selected you can remove the `_imdb_.nfo` file in the film's folder. You will also need to delete the `folder.ico` and `folder.jpg` images if you want them to be updated.
* Raticon caches film information in the `ProgramData` folder. E.g. `C:\ProgramData\Raticon\Cache`. If a rating is wrong/out-of-date you can force an update by deleting both the icon and the cache.

* Could eliminate 'Make Icons' button and have them auto-process. Would need to find a place to mention clearing thumbnail cache.
* MediaCollection should refresh on FileSystem change.
* End2end testing could help prevent the introduction of threading bugs.
* Unicode? Hyphen in TV series year?
