[Feature Request] Slide view for actor thumb in the info dialog

[francyboy]

I have the thumb of all the actor in my movie stores locally (1500+ pic) at 240x360 resolution . There is a way to have a better view for the actor thumb, like the slide view for the covers ?

A mockup for my idea :

Anyway... Great work. The 2.00 is impressive. The plugin/script integration is the way...

Sorry for bad english. :sad:

Do you have to do something to enable character icons as your above screenshot? Or did your scraper pull the actor.jpgs for each actor on its own?

Definatley like that view and since Im going to try to re-scan my movies again with IMDB scraper, figured I would ask.

I have grab all the pic from google the i cut and resize them with Gimp. then i put all the pic in a shared folder. Then i edited the .nfo file for all my movies with a home made vb.net program.

When i have finished to do this for all my movies i will upload a pack with all the actor thumb

not really.

When you have a huge amount of actor pic named like "Brad Pitt.jpg", "George Cloney" ect in the same directory (for ex: M:\Pictures\Actor\" a simple script can recursively change this

to this

<role>Carl Allen</role>
<thumb>M:\Pictures\Actor\Jim Carrey.jpg</thumb>
</actor>
<actor>
<name>Zooey Deschanel</name>
<role>Allison</role>
<thumb>M:\Pictures\Actor\Zooey Deschanel.jpg</thumb>

[...]


Simple.

The Hard work is get the HUGE amount of actor pictures ... But when the collection is ready everyone can use it
