IMDB link doubles optional "tt" - 5.5.1
Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2016 9:22 pm
Using 5.5.1 - regarding the "Extra" page where the IMDB number is listed: updating from IMDB works whether the field has the raw number, like "0435761" or the preceding "tt" like "tt0435761" as it would appear in the IMDB URL, for example: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435761
That is useful, because I often just wind up copying that number out of the URL, and so a lot of my IMDB fields have the nonsense "tt" prefix.
However, if you click the little Safari icon next to the box, the URL generated has "tt" prepended to it every time. So if the field has "tt0435761" then the browser gets an incorrect URL, like: http://www.imdb.com/title/tttt0435761/
It would be great if the "tt" were optional for the browser link too.
