I am just now learning what a pain it is to enter cast and crew data for a TV series. The main problem (particularly for an animated show which may use the same actor for different voices) is that there is currently no central way (other than editing the XML file) to reuse the entered data in a simple way. Copy a section and append that section for major cast that are in every episode, but what about everyone else that come and go at random? John is in episode 3, 9, 15; Jim in 3, 12, and 13; Kelly in half a dozen episodes, etc.


My request is similar to that of standard file copying: the ability to select an entry/name and role (or more than one using CTRL+[Left Click]), CTRL+C to copy, CTRL+P to paste, and all copied data appears at the bottom of the page.

Likewise, the ability to then select more than one entry at a time and move them simultaneously further up the list.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

He who MUST get the last word in on a pointless, endless argument doesn't win. It makes him the bigger jerk.

I would love to have that feature. Could be very useful when creating child profiles of TV series, for example.

Or it could be done in a similar way as I do in my Cinematic Collection Viewer program. Here you have the possibility to open up a popup list when editing TV episode cast/crew. In this list all actors/crew members are listed which have been listed in any of the other episodes of this series. Clicking on one of them will enter them into the current position of the cast/crew list. In Profiler the list would be restricted to the current profile.
By the way, if you enter the cast/crew episode by episode in my CCViewer, here some helpful hints:
- Right-click on an existing episode and selecting "Duplicate episode" will create a new episode with a copy of cast and crew.
- When finishing a season, you can right-click on the season name and select "Copy to Clipboard->Cast/Crew". This will create an XML ready for pasting in a DVD Profiler season set.

No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
