I would like a dedicated uncredited divider, and remove the uncredited checkbox. 

I think it would make for a cleaner display, by removing all of the (uncredited) and giving a visible separation from the credited cast.

I have nothing against this if it remains local. If it is contributable, it is one thing more to delete when downloading a profile, and the necessity to add uncredited name per name, so I'm not in favor of it.

I like the checkbox, and a divider can be used locally already.

I like the check box. I'd rather see more check boxes like puppeteer, stunts, motion tracking, starring (credited in opening and closing credits).

I think a divider does make sense for uncredited in most cases, but you do have cases were people were credited outside the film itself (in the program of a roadshow, for instance). I'm not sure how to handle those.

If they are not credited in the credits of the film, for Profiler doesn't that make them uncredited?

I think that is the way that works, although I don't have any that are credited that way, so I cannot be sure.

Not a must but as clear separation also no hurt, imho.

As long as the "Uncredited" attribute is attached to each of the actors in the section, I think this is a good idea.

Ken could also modify the program to let it be "selectable" as to whether you download this section to your local or not.

This is one of the best ideas I have seen and hopefully could be applied across the board. I think that it might solve many of the issues raised regarding dissatisfaction with accepting updates.

An option to add the separator (or completely hide the uncredited entries) when displaying the data would do the trick - there is no need to change the data to implement a divider like this.

Personally I couldn't care less if it's displayed one way or the other - I never view the data from DVD Profiler itself, I only use it to edit the collection - but please do not change the data when it is not needed to achieve the goal.
Regards
Lars

This was my thought. 
In my mind it would have to be attached to the individual.  I like the idea of a selectible option.

That's my thought.  This could be implemented by Ken without the need for data changes.  A separator could be displayed if the data has the Uncredited checked.  Or not if the user wishes.  Or even hidden altogether.

I'm all for any idea that helps people out that doesn't require a data change.  Especially when those things are optional for the end user.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
Create fake parent profiles to organize your collection.
