| | Posted: | | | | Any way I can search my collection for a particular actor/cast member? I've checked all likely links and FAQs, but no luck. Thanks in advance for any help. If the search feature doesn't currently exist, maybe Ken can consider adding it to an update. But if no help or update is forthcoming, I'll just have individually check all my discs to find MM films and make a handwritten list. Could be distractling  |

| | Posted: | | | | Additionally to what Staid S Barr said: You can also go to a title where you know a certain actor appears and double-click on the name. Then a list with all the other titles will pop up. | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | The downside is, if that cast member is also in your wishlist you will also bring those entries up and you can't select just owned or just wishlist. |

Actually, if you have selected your "Owned" list, doing a filter on actors only displays the profiles in your owned list with that actor in them (this includes "Custom" if you have it set up that way in Tools>Options). If you switch to "Wishlist", it will only display profiles from the Wishlist. If you want to see everything, switch to "All". | | | | Hal |

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah... with filters it works fine like that... but I believe he is talking about when you click on a cast name in any profile. That give a list of all in profiler no matter if in owned, ordered or wishlist. Which is something I have wanted changed for a long time now. I suggested checkboxes to change it on the fly. | | | | Pete |

I also agree with checkboxes as the way forward.  |

This. I also agree with checkboxes as the way forward. Here is the rough mock-up I did a few years back hoping to get it into profiler. I would like to see something like...  Being able to check off one or more depending on what you are looking for. And maybe have something in Options to tell it how to default. | | | | Pete |
