re: persons photos

Sun Jun 07, 2009 1:33 pm

hello.

i was scanning through the photos in the /programdata and noticed several Xtra X-men photos of the various actors in those films. bringing up those actors or the films will not extract those X-men photos.

for example, halle berry has her own photo. but there are also two "storm" photos in the persons folders. how do i extract or activate to get the photo to come up?

The extra pictures are character pictures.

Let's take the movie "X-Men (2000)" as an example... When showing the cast in the movie panel, the program finds a picture for the character played by Halle Berry in this movie (Storm), so it displays it. If there's no character picture, the program reverts the "real life" picture of the actor.

Character pictures are a little known feature of Coollector, and it makes me sad because it could be an awesome feature. But providing character pictures for all the movies is too big a task for us alone. We really depend on your contributions here.

Please help Coollector get better. Please contribute character pictures:

thanks, cool hector.

they were always there, but small enough i didn't notice.

now that i'm paying attention, i've noticed that sometimes, there is a personal photo in either the film section or the resume section and not the other. also, sometimes when i add a rating to a pictured actor, the film section photo of the actor disappears.

I think it happens when you're using Coollector offline. It's a bug that I have recently discovered, and fixed with the next version of Coollector.

I don't know, maybe it's related to the previous bug. I'll keep an eye on that.
