I'm horrible at remembering names. A personality fault, but I'm sure I'm not alone there. So when I look at a DVD and see that such and such played this particular character, I often times have no idea which character that was.

This would probably be more used for roles related to "voice only" because if Brad Pitt played a certain character you would probably recognize him so therefore know which character he played. But it could also be used for heavily "costumed" roles like say, Doug Bradley in Hellraiser.

My purposes would more be for animated releases where a given voice actor plays a role, but I can't remember what that role was just by the name, so having the ability to add a pic, similiar to the headshot feature, would be great.

I'm not sure how many others would use this, but it is something no other database, online or not, does, and I would love to see it on DVDprofiler.

Just so I'm sure this is coming across the right way. I would like to be able to add a pic of say Homer Simpson (not that I don't know that particular role, just an example) to the local database. So that when I look at the voice actor's credits and it says he/she played Homer Simpson I could click on something or see said pic of Homer.

This very well may already be possible through the use of HTML windows, but I'm a complete novice when it comes to HTML and programming so a feature included in the program would be ideal. But if someone feels like walking through a dummy, by all means, help me out!

I'm not sure if it's what you mean but are you aware that 3.5 now supports custom headshots?
What you can do is copy a picture onto the clipboard, right-click on the area for the headshot and instead of selecting "Paste" select "Custom Paste" and this places the picture in the headshot, but only for that profile - every other profile sees the normal headshot.
So in the case of the Simpsons, you could have a picture of Homer in all your Simpsons profiles but a normal headshot for Dan Castellaneta for his appearance in Arrested Development. You would have to do this on a profile by profile basis - but would it achieve what you want?

I'd actually like that feature to be expanded so that you can assign a headshot to multiple profiles at once. It could bring up something similar to the Box Set Contents screen.

I do not fancy even more local only features. For me DVD Profiler is about sharing DVD profiles.

Cheers Northbloke, never knew that could be done!  Am I right in thinking that the custom picture replaces the default one?  Would be great if you could have both.

Cheers.  I also take it that the custom headshots couldn't be shared like with the default ones?  Although tbh if we can only have one or the other I think I'd have to go for the default ones.

Edit: one idea I thought might be nice was if there was a little "swap" icon in the corner of the thumbnail so you could flick between the two headshots.

Now this I like, probably wouldn't be that hard to implement either, I would imagine. Since both images are stored either way, a way to swap between the two would be great IMO. Thanks again north for another insightful idea!

Well.... not exactly a swap button... but there is something like this now. Just double-click on the name (bring up the list of all movies you have with them)... then click the image in that screen and it will flick between the 2 headshots.

It would be cool if you could do the same thing when you are just in the normal cast list for that movie as well.

Glad I could help
