Here's the thought Ken,

Current features when editing cast allows to copy/paste the whole cast on a profile with the paste option overwriting anything already there.  With TV series we seem to be heading toward duplicating cast & crew at the top level if we want to profile the episodes at the disc levels.

It would be very quick & easy to do if we could take the entire cast from a child profile and append it to the master profile. All we need is an "Append Cast" option along with "Copy all cast" and "Paste all cast".

It would also allow us to quickly rebuild the entire cast of a master profile and make it identical to all the child profiles.

Your a mind reader Touti
I am just doing Dead Like Me season One and as I've been typing in ever name again i was thinking to myself i wish i could just select the main cast and copy them down to the next divider.

That would be great!

You can of course cheat.

Copy the cast/crew and instead of pasting into dvdprofiler, paste it into notepad/wordpad etc.

What you'll see is then some xml.

You can then edit the xml to be correct and then copy the lot from notepad/wordpad and paste it back into dvdprofiler.

That's what I did when I did a tv series. Worked like a dream.

That's exactly what I planned on doing for the 4 sets I'm gonna work on this week but I think it would be nicer to have within DVD Profiler.

Me, too.  While Notepad works you have to be careful where the XML code sits.  People could use "Append Cast" without having to know anything about XML.

Since he upgraded it to work with 3.x, I also use Tom Gaines cast and crew editor.  You don't have to know how to use XML with it.
