Of course. We want all the features, especially the advanced ones!  ;)

Please don't forget Darkethorne's point—that people should be updated (perhaps optionally) at the same time the movie is added. That, along with the ability to identify people needing updating, should make everyone happy.

Darkethorne:
Thanks for the quick replies, even just being able to search by date added would be a great help. I like rick's idea of an auto update based on age too! I know, I know, ask for a couple of things then think of ten more in solving those!  ;D
I'll try the search for genre idea, that should be a good stop-gap solution for now.

nostra:
Auto-update could be a bit problematic to implement and the problem I see is that all persons will be updated for each movie information download and it will make filling movie information very time consuming process.

rick.ca:
By "auto-update" you seem to mean the updating of people as new movies are being added. I don't think that would be missed if the date updated were recorded and Advanced Search available to filter based on that and other fields. BTW, it's important the date be the date updated, rather than the date added. It's main purpose would be to determine when the record needs to be updated again. It should be null when the record is created, so records never updated (i.e., new people from movies most recently added) can be identified easily.

That being said, the necessity of selecting people for updating is inconsistent with the automated nature of the rest of the program. I think it's important to include some sort of one-click solution in the tools menu—as I suggested before, and what I believe Darkethorne was referring to as "auto update based on age." Its existence will remind users people information needs to be updated periodically, and will give them an easy (although potentially lengthy) means of doing so. Without it, I fear new users will eventually notice people are not being updated, will not recognize the solution, and blame the design of the program.

nostra:
OK, I'll think about it, but I can't promise that this feature will be included in 0.9.9
