(I first put this in the Feature Request Topic, but didn't want it to get buried just in case one of the developers might be able to develop this.)

If someone could come up with one of these, it would help us a lot in updating the Master Headshot Database:

1.  A plugin that assigns all actors with a headshot to the cast (without a role) and all crew members with a headshot to the crew (as directors) of a manual profile that already exists.

-or-

2. A plugin that could generate a list of all cast & crew that have a headshot assigned and are not currently assigned to the cast\crew of any profiles in the local database.

Thanks for thinking about this!

Not possible with the current version of the Plugin API.

Not possible, unless you want to write an ugly hack that combines a plugin with an HTML section. Strangely enough, a plugin can't tell if the cast/crew entry of a profile has an headshot assiigned, but the HEADER_VARS in an HTML section provide this info in the hasImage flag.

The plugin would have to select each profile, let the HTML section do a callback, and finally assign the collected data to the manual profile.

Thanks for the response goodguy.  It looks like my request to Ken to modify the database repair utility is going to be the only viable option  He said it shouldn't be too hard.  Now it's just a matter of him getting the time to put it into place!
