No. The problem is that the cast and crew sections don't work the same way.  I can go in and edit the cast and add to the list, even between dividers, but you can't do that with the crew.

So, its pointless to copy the crew data from the first disc of 13 episodes to the crew section on the second disc of 13 episodes, because you can't do any cut and past.  Its far faster to just start from scratch and enter the data from each episode in turn.

You ought to be able to edit both lists identically.  I could use an external program like Tom's I suppose, but I'm standing on principle here.  I shouldn't have to use another program to make Profiler work better.

John,

have you tried copying the crew lists out of DVDP to MS Wordpad as "plain ascii XML" (if that makes sense ). You can see the structure of the data & dividers iand then cut and paste the common crew for each episode. Then you copy the whole lot back to DVDP, and make any adjustments needed for individual episodes (I've even done this bit in Wordpad).

I have to agree with both John and Paul.  John's right that it's a real pain to edit the CREW section.  Until someone pointed out (like Paul did above) that you can MOVE someone across dividers, I though you would have to delete everything from where you want to enter a crewperson to the end -- that you couldn't INSERT any missing data.  But Paul is right, that you CAN move data across dividers.  You just have to do it one at a time.  And this is really a nuisance if you need to add someone to Episode 1 in a list of 20 or more Episodes.  It definitely isn't as easy to do as it is in the CAST section.

I have tried several times to add to a previously entered episode on the crew side, and while it will let me enter the line, I can't move it across dividers at all.

Moving items across dividers works fine here, but only when I click on the arrow buttons. Using the keyboard shortcuts doesn't work.

This does sound very odd. I remember being able to move crew members across dividers. I did have to be careful as, if I remember correctly, they would lose focus after crossing a divider so I would have to click on them again before moving across the next.

Still can't use the keyboard shortcuts though, and it would be great if it stuck the added/edited stuff into the episode under the highlighted divider.
