New commands, spider save info , spider save cover

Steven,

Is it possible to have two new Xlobby spider commands:
- spider save cover
- spider save info

instead of spider save ?
When using spider save it actually overwrites the data that was not found by the spider with blanks.
So with this two commands the procedure for retreiving data for movies will be:

- one button for find cover spider (searches amazon, buy ....)
and spider save cover command
- another button for find info (searches imdb)
and spider save info command.
You already have that options in the database editor ->spiders ?
I hope it should not be that hard to implement it.
I tried all the HTPC frontends and Xlobby is the one I want to go with.
But since I don't have keyboards on any of my HTPC's I cannot retrieve data for movies.

I agree, this would be nice if you have a movie that wasn't imported by dvd profiler, since it is hard to import the info if you haven't.
