I would like it, if in the entering cast/crew dialogue, the "credited as" names (from database) would be included. (not only a string search for what I've entered)

So for example if there's a credit like "Ida Flammenbaum" DVDP should suggest me "Sandra Bullock" as actress.


Second one: A feature to enter a local name for an actor/cast member would be a nice feature. (without influence of the online database)

For example if I want to have "Samuel L. Jackson" shown as "Samuel Leroy Jackson" in my collection.

This is something I'd also appreciate very much! I had the problem that especially my wrestling-profiles are never accepted. For example: He always is credited as "Hulk Hogan", but for me he is "Terrence Gene Bollea" (or "Mark William Calaway" as "The Undertaker")

And it could make work so much easier, if there could be a column for "credited as" also in the CastCrewEditor

You mean something like an automatic query for known Aliases and Common names?
Great idea!
I'm just not sure if this will ever work in DVDProfiler, because at least the alias search would result in a reverse CLT query, which of course would only work if ALL Ida Flammenbaums were crosslinked correctly.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Can't follow you.    Why do all Ida Flammenbaums have to be crosslinked correctly that this could work?
It should be more in the other direction, so that if one is linked correctly, I can see that Ida Flammenbaum is Sandra Bullock.
