Would it be possible to add a "Statistics/Stats" feature whereby a click of a button will tell me which actor is in the most amount of DVDs in my collection?  So if Bruce Willis is in 20 of my DVDs and Samuel L. Jackson is in 15 of them, I'd like to know that.  I've used other online DVD collection sites in the past and they provided that info.  Thanks.

There are plug-ins for the program that can help you do that, e.g. Mark Harrison's excellent Database Query plug-in.

For occasional lookups you can go to Edit profile / Cast, and then in the left (full) list of actors right-click the name you want to check the appearances in your collection of. And by right-clicking the top of that window you can set Credit Counts, which will permanently display the number of appearances in your collection.

EDIT: some users have found they need to run DVD Profiler as an administrator for the plug-in to work correctly.

Me too, so I just checked my Cast Top Ten:

Actors like Clint Eastwood, no question. Tom Cruise, of course. George Clooney, well.

But who the f. is Matthias Klages? Tilo Schmitz?? Uwe Jellinek???

I don't know those names, and have no film with them.

The sad truth is: they are uncredited German Voices for American live action movies.

     

The Germans should be ashamed for bloating their local profiles with uncredited national names.

I hate German Voices! HATE! HATE! HATE!
