| | Posted: | | | | When editing cast or crew, and making use of "Replace", any data that is present in the Credited As field does not get wiped out, which can lead to embarrassing mistakes. | | | | Hans |

| | Posted: | | | | I have noticed this as well but I think it is designed that way. The program is assuming that the 'credited as' name matches the actual credits, because it is supposed to, so will leave it alone when you replace the 'common name' with something else. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | I tend to use this a lot when completing profiles for TV-series (copy/pasting the crew sections), most of the crew remains the same, but directors and writers often change from one episode to another.
The replace function always gives you a new person, so not only the common name, but also the credited as needs to change.
What you are describing would work if you change the common name "by hand", but in that case the credited as name is emptied! | | | | Hans |

| | Posted: | | | | I guess it depends on your point of view. When I change a common name, the alternate name is, more often than not, already in my db. Because of that, I use the 'replace' function to replace one name with the other.
You, on the other hand, want to replace one person with another person. I can honestly say that I have never used it that way. When I a enter a new person, I always add the person, I never replace one for another. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | The trick is that when you add a new person, it goes to the end of the list (final episode). If you replace, the name immediately goes to the right spot. I want to avoid the dragging, or pushing the arrows hundreds of times. | | | | Hans |

I want to avoid the dragging, or pushing the arrows hundreds of times. No, I understand that...I still do it that way though. Edit: Thanks North, that does make it easier. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

The only thing with this is i have had Profilers crash on three separate occasions when doing this and subsequently loose the work, I'd be interested to know if anyone else gets this problem or is it just my system? |
