I seems, that you have to copy and paste every single headshot into the database. It that is a lot of work.
It would be easy to put all the headshots in a subfolder, so that DVDProfiler has access to them. But - as I can see - the headshots are together in a single database and not in single jpg-datas. | | | | Ääärrrrrmin!! |

| | Posted: | | | | It would be nice if multiple head shots for an actor could be uploaded to the DVDP database and then let users download the head shot of the actor they want. Or, download all the ones uploaded and then let you choose a favorite to be displayed for that actor.
We could have an head shot update just like a DVD update. |

| | Posted: | | | | It's too much work to be just local. The vast majority of users just won't bother. |

| | Posted: | | | | Agreed, but it sure would be nice if we could just dump our headshots into a directory and DVDP would display them from that directory as long as it was an exact match to the name in the cast list. | | | | Hal |

This will never happen because of legal issues. Why is that? IMDB does it. I mean i know if someone really wanted and had the money they could have a case, but it just isnt realistic IMO. |

| | Posted: | | | | I just discovered this is built in. Double click an actor, and when the actor window pops up, click on the place for their picture. This will bring up a google page full of head shots for that actor. Right click on the pic you want, go back to DVDP and past it into the headshot section for that actor. |
