I have that option on, but how can you tell which people are new and need to be imported and which are old in the people list? It just adds the names, not the info. I have over 21000 people in the list, just updating them all is NOT an option.
I had to do that when I realized that they had to be imported seperately from the movies. It took DAYS!
It would be much easier if it could be done in one step, like movie info, posters, and cd covers are now. Just have a check box in the new movie master dialog to download people info for all people associated with that movie. I also agree with the idea of another window with the actor info in it, it's kinda a pain to switch back and forth between views. Also have an option NOT to add a movie to the movie list when you click on a movie in the people view. I use PVD to have a list of the movies I have and that produces movie listings for movies I don't have. Don't get me wrong, I love the program and prefer it to all the others I've tried, just a few tweaks would make it perfect, for me at least.
