for testing i only scan vor "Other" Crewmembers.. now I see the difference *g*
I also found the headshot-feature.. pretty cool 8-) thx a lot!

Tom

Love the headshot feature.
It would be great if it would optionally save them in the order FirstName LastName. This would make it possible to use them in the headshot import wizard of my CCViewer :) .
Of course I could write a convert function, but I think it would be more reliable if it would have the name like it's listed on IMDb to begin with. I don't mind the "_" characters. I already have a funtion to get rid of them for import into CCViewer.

Tom was faster... I have the same wish *g*. e.g. Gerard Butler.jpg instead of Butler_Gerard_.jpg  :surrender:
anyway. great help! :)

Minor issue: Would it be possible to optionally switch to an English interface? I usually prefer an English interface in all programs I use.

Start the .exe with /lang=en (it says so in the readme  :tease:)

About the naming convention, I just took what I was told here: http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=416153

But I think another option is not a problem (but not today ;))

Shall I name the output folder CCViewer?

Are LastNames, FirstNames and MiddleNames always separated by "_", and not for example two middle names or first name prefixes? That would make it fairly easy to write a convert function.

If you want to. I don't care how the folder is called.

The headshots in the Viewer are named the same as the actors are called.
E.g. "Tom Hanks.jpg".
Only exception is, that the following characters are replaced:
": " with " - "
double quotes with single quotes
And the following characters are removed:
"?", "\", "/", "*", "<", ">"

Birthyears would be attached in brackets, but usually they are not. Only if needed to distinguish. I think it is better if you would not add those.

The viewer handles alternate images for one person with postfix "_" + incremented number:
"Tom Hanks.jpg"
"Tom Hanks_1.jpg"
"Tom Hanks_2.jpg"

An output folder "CCViewer" would be fine.

Works great :)
If you remove the "_" characters, and also only use a single space between first and last name if no middle name is available, it would be perfect :)
