| | Posted: | | | | Just found this, great idea! One question about how this works: Will only headshots of persons be added that are already in my collection or will my database be full of headshots that I don't actually need? | | | Recently bought films:
The Matrix [Blu-ray] | Shirins Wedding [DVD] | The Graduate [Blu-ray] | Prometheus [Blu-ray 3D] | Hwal [DVD] |

| | Posted: | | | | It fills your db with lots of headshots you don't need and duplicates of ones you already have without headshots. | | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |

| | Posted: | | | | OK, thanks, so I should use the database repair utility afterwards to delete unused cast & crew members if I want to safe disk space. | | | Recently bought films:
The Matrix [Blu-ray] | Shirins Wedding [DVD] | The Graduate [Blu-ray] | Prometheus [Blu-ray 3D] | Hwal [DVD] |

| | Posted: | | | | The reason I keep all of the headshots in my db is that if I buy a movie which has cast/crew different from any other movie/TV show in my collection, I'll have the headshots for it ready and waiting instead of having to manually search them out online or "install" the Headshot Database all over again. | | | | Time is the fire in which we burn.

| | Posted: | | | | Thx for all updates and correction @KLUGE - I am not sure if all those nice corrections you do with the common names are beneficial, it is a lot of work for you and me, but nearly no one does a clean new install when a new version is released, people just install it over the old version. So what are you all thinking about the common name corrections, is this necessary or not ? cheers Donnie | | | | www.tvmaze.com |

I have already given my opinion about that in V8 thread. Kluge, to follow Invelos rules, asked on many cases to remove the correctly spelled names in favor of wrongly spelled common names. For people who want a correct linking and try to have a database without errors, removing those correct names has a bad result on headshots database. And nothing requires to follow contribution rules for a strictly local feature (headshots are not contributable). | | | | Images from movies | | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

I didn't ask nothing to anybody, somebody asked me to share my onw work on my personal database, if you want a lot of duplicate headshots for the same person or you prefer change the common name of the headshot, you are free to modify your database and the contributes as you want. | | | | Updated List of Accepted Birth Years |

if you want a lot of duplicate headshots for the same person ... Duplicate headshots in the masterdatabase does not mean duplicate headshots in users' local databases. After a repair, each user will have in his local only headshots that fit the actors of his collection. With headshots in the master database for both Andre Maranne and André Maranne, people following Invelos rules, and people using real names, will have both a headshot. If you use for the masterdatabase only Invelos invented common name, people who use the correctly spelled name will get nothing. | | | | Images from movies |

OK, but if they have a profile containing an actor credited with a variant, and download another profile of the same actor spelled differently, they will not see a headshot on the new profile ,since all contributors do not use common names (not requested by rules). Removing variants in masterdatabase does not help people who link the actors with their correctly spelled name, and doesn't help people who use exactly "as credited". | | | | Images from movies |
