| | Posted: | | | | Is there a way to view all cast and/or all crew that are a part of your collection as a single list similar to what the Collection List does for DVD titles?
Sorry if this has been asked. I have attempted several searches and they keep timing out for some some reason. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

| | Posted: | | | | Edit any profile and click on the Cast or Crew tab. All cast & crew in your database will be listed.
Currently, this is the only way I'm aware of without a plugin. |

| | Posted: | | | | Not the answer that I was hoping for (since it displays everyone in the database regardless of being in my collection or not), however it was the answer that I was expecting since I had not found a feature yet.
Thanks anyway! | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

Sorry if this has been asked. I have attempted several searches and they keep timing out for some some reason. You could create a "Manual DVD Profile" so that it is "Non-Contributable" then assign each actor that is currently in your DVD's so as to create a "Actor/Crew" DB so that by viewing this one profile you will see all your actors/crew as opposed to all that are in your main DB. I use this method for keeping track of actors that have legitimate "BY" attached. Steve |

Not necessarily. You can use database repair to remove all unused cast and crew. I think with "in my collection" he means his owned list. | | | | - Jan |

Just like being able to see a single list of the movies that I own, it would be nice to be able to see a list of all actors that are a part of that list. Other than just being an interesting tidbit of information to look through, it would be valuable in building my headshot collection. I'm aware of Dr. Killpatient's headshot database, but because I am a dial-up user, 300MB is a bit much to download. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

I too have dialup. Our local library has broadband however, so I brought my 1GB USB thingee with me and downloaded the headshot database there.
Maybe that's an option for you.

| | Posted: | | | | You can view your cast using Mark Harrison's Database Query to find the Top X number of actors, so entering a large enough number should find all of them. If you have not tried it, you can find it in the Plugins forum. Here is a direct link to the thread. Can't believe nobody has suggested it yet. | | | | Kevin |

Jim Not typically, which is why I hadn't considered that. Several neighbors have DSL, but I feel like I am imposing to show up and ask "Can I use your DSL?"  But, i may just do that since I too have a flash drive. | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

Lots of other information that I was interested in but wasn't considered about at the moment. Thanks  | | | If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.
