| Posted: | | | | Did not have time yesterday, will do it tonight. Well, I posted alot of updates during the last year or so, but I am pretty sure I missed to post stuff. I compared my headshots to the latest v5 and I have alot of headshots that have better pictures /resolution wise) than in the V5, so I thought I will post my complete headshot set for the people who have the time and urge to do it. I only have headshots of people that are in my collection, I always remove all entries with the database repair, I do not keep entries without a count just for the headshot. So it should be not that big. We will see tonight cheers Donnie | | | www.tvmaze.com |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting VirusPil: Quote: How making an update? Quoting Dr. Killpatient: Quote: How to Update and Contribute Headshots
Updating Headshots Double-click on the Cast or Crew member you want to update in a profile. This opens up a new pop-up window with that person listing every profile in your database that they're also in. At the top of the window is a box containing their existing headshot or the text "Drag an image here". You can do just that - drag it from another window - or right-click on it and select Paste if the photo is already in your copy-n-paste buffer.
When browsing for potential headshots, larger is better. You can optimize the headshot by first opening it in the photo editor software package of your chose and cropping the image to just above their head and just below their collar bone - don't worry about the left or right sides, leave them alone. When you drop the image into DVDP, it'll let you scroll the image left or right to fit the headshot in the frame.
Contributing Headshot Databases Credit to cvermeylen: Add a manual profile to your database Add by title - deselect "Download profile from Invelos". Call the profile Headshots
When you update a headshot, add it to the Headshots profile (for crew, just use director for every member, don't loose your time by selecting the correct role).
When you are done. Make a full backup of your database.
Create a new database, called HMDB.
Open the new database, and perform a restore with the following options: Select "Restore Specific Profiles" and select only the Headshots profile. Deselect "Replace Full User Database"
Perform a database repair with the following options: Select "Custom" Deselect "Preserve cast/crew with images"
This will remove all castmembers except those attached to the Headshots profile.
Now perform a database backup and select only "Include cast/crew databases, with photos".
Sharing Headshot Databases If you do not have your own web site hosting server, there are many free services out there such as RapidShare or MediaFire. Post a link to it in this thread.
If you want your database to be part of v6, please upload it here. Please include your User Name as part of the file name. For example: wombat_march_2010.dpb
Important Notes: You may also upload full HS databases (not just your updates) but I will only accept headshots that do not exist in my master database and will not review updates.
Please do not contribute databases if you include unvalidated Birth Years or nudes. (You can start your own HSDB collection for those if you wish.) |

| Posted: | | | | Yeah, I'm afraid it's too late for that. But for the future, you know how to do it Please share your complete headshot database anyhow. It won't be included in Dr. Killpatient's HSDB, though anybody will have the chance to get it. | | | 1.0.1, iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.1.0

| Posted: | | | | New photos will be included but due to the time it takes to import a full database, I can't compare each and every photo.
Pondering. If you compacted it to exclude headshots that you do not have a profile for, how big is the file? That may be more reasonable (unless you have zillions of profiles in your collection) |

| Posted: | | | | You could split the file with WinRAR, WinZip or 7-zip...
Or make a backup of all profiles (without images) and cast/crew databases, create a new database, restore the backup, repair the new database with option "Custom" and uncheck "Preserve cast/crew with photos". That way all images of cast/crew members who aren't listed in any profile are deleted. Finally make a backup of the cast/crew databases only and your file will be a lot smaller... | | | 1.0.1, iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.1.0
