I am putting way more time into this Cinematographer thing than it is worth

After all, the People are pasted into DVDP, just into the wrong category, but with a 'correct' custom role.
Just in case anybody is as @nal about it, as me:
My advice is to just check if the Cinematographers are in the correct category before pasting into DVDP. If not, change it manually with CCE2's drop down menus. Not a big deal with movies.
With Series, if there is a problem, try to removing the 'Start with' checkmarks in the Director Transformation Settings and see if it turns out OK. CCE2 doesn't open the Browser for every episode again, so it way faster than the first run! So far it didn't mess up any Director credits for me, but again, I guess Carsten used the 'start with' option for a reason.
Don't use the Re-Apply Setting and Filter Button Button on the Bottom if you're making changes to the IMDB to DVDP Transformation Settings. Use the normal 'Scan Page' Button!
I was probably wrong about IMDB having changed many DoP to 'just' Cinematographer. Sometimes CCE2 just defaults to DoP, even if the Cinematographer isn't credited as such, here for example:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0130236/
Edit: Minor but easy thing - adding 'cinematography' -> 'Cinematographer' to the Tranformations roles in 'Cinematography by' prevents custom role 'cinematography'.
Edit 2: Casting is effed up, too, at least if the imdb profile creator was lazy. The 'role' then often is just a short for a country like de, us, gb, uk or whatever. (example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22488654/) It is fixable but a bit of work:
Create 'Casting' category, create entry 'de' (for example) -> other > Casting Germany or just 'Casting'
