Looks great, but why not collaborate on Media Info Plus and make it have both a "standard mode" and a "advanced mode" view modes, (with the advanced mode without kitchen-sink).
I would just love it if all the NFO manager developers got together to work on the same open source project, (sharing the media info scrapers with XBMC, so same common XML files), ...one media manager to rule them all.

It looks very promising. The cleanest, best looking interface of all, in my opinion.
While I 100% agree with Gamester17, I think the "one to rule them all" media manager shouldn't be based on the MIP GUI layout.

Nice! Finally a media manager that looks good. Clean layout and design.
I will try it out.
EDIT: Not working for me either. I can see the scanned movie folder in the left hand list but I get an error if I try to do anything with it. probably same error as Danone-KiD. Input string in wrong format. When I try to restart it I get the error immediately.
(My movie folders still have their original scene release names. If that helps in finding the bug/crash)

What the programming language ?
Because if is C# i think we can work together, becuase i think it`s studip that all programm her own programm. The best way is a combination.

IF you start on such an endevour, i would like to request that you look at the c# scraper parser being done (see the scraper forums). using this would mean you can use all xbmc scrapers...

One Media Manager to rule them all, One Media Manager to find them, One Media Manager to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
It would be interesting..
c#, vb, doesn't matter like mafis90 said, it's all .net .. it's cake to run it through a reflector and convert to any of the .net lang in source.
I'm willing, but only if it's .net 2 (i.e. not 3.5) and works in wine as well as in mono. I have a modular version of MIP i work on from time to time, basically i took a recent build of mip and started a new form, and then split up the source into modules that can be called from any form. Since MIP went from a way to select a folder.jpg to what it is today, there's a lot of it that's really modular anymore. but it could be.
The hard part is getting folks to agree. Some people love MIP, some love MC, some other apps or command line tools. The end result is the same, just the how it's done and the gui that's different.
I think to make it work, we would need Billy from MC as well.
