Because of a lot of requests I enhanced my Cast & Crew Editor (v.1.5.0) with a Profiler 3 mode.

But as a full support of the new Profiler 3 features (birthyear, creditedAs) would require a full rewrite of the program, I have just added the support of reading and writing the new XML format (Settings->Profiler 3 Mode) and did no change to the GUI. This means that the fields BirthYear and CreditedAs are not supported.

But maybe this is better than nothing and it will at least be useful to a few people.

Maybe I will rewrite the editor in the future but currently nothing is planned.

Thanks Tom. Just played with it a little and wanted to confirm my suspicion that the editor does not automatically import or export directly into V3 and we have to use the clipboard as a go-between.

I found a bug while playing. I copied 24 Season 1 Disc 1 to the clipboard, imported into CCE.
I made no changes other than to add a title.
Then copied to clipboard and pasted into a temporary profile in my wishlist. The middle name of Penny Johnson Jerald (only actor with a middle name for these 4 episodes) propagated to every actor after her all the way down the cast list. Tried it again and pasted the xml into notepad and the middle name is in every role after the first middle name it hits.
Tried it with a different cast list and the error reproduces. The second cast list had more actors with middle names and no episode dividers and each "new" middle name is assigned to each empty middle name until it hit a new one.

Thought you'd want to know.

v1.5.1
As promised an update to the editor which fixes the middle name bug and has adjusted field length checks.

Currently inserting dividers have to be done manually. Just insert "Divider" into the role field and the caption in the first name field.

You can also set the "Tools->Append...->Set custom append" to "Divider" and then you can insert new dividers by pressing Shift+F5 or by placing the button for custom append in your layout.

The Editor doesn't work for me.

The following text appears on my screen when I doubleclick on the exe file.

Component 'OWC10.DLL' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missin or invalid.

How can I fix it.

I can't export the data to Profiler 3.1.0

Every time i export the data to DVD profiler the following text apears

"An error has encountered
Make sure that DVD profiler is running, the title to wich you want to export selected and that you ar not in edit mode".

All the data I have I took from IMDB using Dougweb's DVDFolks' 0.8.3 I imported it in Cast & Crew editor. everything works perfect but I when I click on the buttom export to DVD profiler.  The text above apears in a new window.

When I copy the data to the clipboard and then in the edit profile of DVD profiler on the cast tab I rightclick and select past all cast the following text appears. "ERROR: the clipboard does not contain vallid cast information.

Can someone ASAP help me I'm completely lost.  and to be honnest I'm not that good in computers eather.

Thanks for an early response

Version 1.5.5 is now available.

After a user request I have integrated basic support for the new Profiler 3.5 crew credits (without support of Custom roles).

Quoting jcterrier:

Quote:
I am new to this editor and using version 1.5.5 and after
using it successfully to fill a cast list for a profile, I am
running into a "character not found" error message
which sometimes even prevents the Editor window
from closing.

As I have written the Editor initially for DVD Profiler 2, I had written an XML Export which was using "us-ascii" character set, like Profiler 2 did. As I didn't really plan to support Profiler 3, I had not changed the export format.
Therefore only characters which are possible in us-ascii encoded XML are allowed (Latin alphabet + the characters you see in Tools->Character Set).
