I can understand those who want the duplicates in their databases, but this ship has sailed in my Masterdatabase, as I am removing all duplicates as I notice it or someone posts them here.

I also made the decision to not go with fake birthyears, so that the HS database is compatible to the Invelos rules, in case you contribute a profile

I can understand your reasons, and I respect them. But if I think that is acceptable for a new user who wants to begin a headshots collection, it makes your work useless for many of us. In fact, after downloading V8 and installing it, I confirm what I just wrote : there was quite nothing interesting for me.
Headshots database was one of the  rare places that are not polluted by Invelos rules, that invent non existing actors and ignore existing ones. It is no more the case.

How come there was nothing interesting ?
Tons of new pictures were added, of course if you downloaded all the updates, then there is not much new stuff in a new version

And kd5, a user who got into headshots a week ago seems to be very happy with the database

I'm very satisfied of your work, and in my opinion the headshot database work better without duplicates.

Thank you Donnie!

I'm both happy with and grateful for Donnie's choice to run the database without duplicates.

Which is taking nothing away from the fact that Invelos desperately needs a new name linking system. But the headshot database is not the right starting point for that.

I absolutely agree there should be a new linking system

Well, I made the decision when Im took over the Headshots project, that I delete any duplicate that i see and that I go with the CLT result from Invelos, was the most easiest solution for me and so far i got no or little complaints about that solution...
Donnie

I agee completely with the way you handle the DB and commend you for the job you do.

When you release v9, I'm assuming we'll need to download the files once again, import them into DVD Profiler as before, then do a compare pics for every cast/crew member until completed, correct?

Yes

But you can also download all updates that are posted here, so far I posted one and Kluge.

cheers
Donnie

thx alot, will be added now

As promised a small update of 406 cast headshots (a crew update will be uploaded seperately, so that "RobAGD" doesn't have to go through all the trouble deleting them  ):

http://www.mediafire.com/download/zmc70w6bzdx2qq4/SpaceFreakMicha_Headshot_Additions_20130531_CAST.dpb

Birthyears (all documented): Donovan (1946); John Franklin (1959); John Howard (1913); John Hughes (1950); Allen Payne (1968); Rachel Roberts (1978); Katie Stuart (1985); Victoria Tennant (1950); John Williams (1903)

No nudes.

I did NOT check for common names though, so Kluge may want to post a small "clean-up"-list for those who care about these.
