hi,

is it possible to paste the cast for a new episode without erasing the cast for the episode that's already entered?

cheers

Unfortunately I don't think so.

Workaround:
- copy the old list from DVD Profiler
- open notepad and paste the list -> it's XML
- paste the new episode info into another notepad window
- cut the new information between the <Actors></Actors> tags and paste it before the </Actors> tag in the first notepad window
- mark all
- copy it
- paste it into DVD Profiler

HTH, Karsten


Edit: or you could take Goodguy's tool...

What Karsten and Telecine said.  (They type faster than I can edit. )

But if you either of the following programs, you can compile cast and crew credits and then paste them into the Profile.  Working with either of these programs is much more user friendly than using the Clipboard or Notepad to edit your profile.

  • Tom Gaines' DVD Profiler Cast & Crew Editor


  • Goodguy's Credits Editor


  • Tom Gaines' program is a stand-alone Excel-like program whereas Goodguy's program works within Excel.  (In other words, you need Excel to run Goodguy's program but you don't for Tom's program).  I tend to use Tom's program more than Goodguys' primarily because I started with it and haven't wanted to bother with the learning curve to use Goodguys' (not that it's much of a learning curve, it's just that I already know Tom's program).  I highly recommend either flavor of Cast/Crew editor.

    Tom's program is AWESOME for editing single dvd's.  But if you're working with (especially) tv series with multiple episodes per disc, then Goodguy's Excel template is "da bomb"!!
