Is it possible .. currently and i haven't found OR different layout OR ...

When i am looking at a profile, currently using default layout, to see a cast member i have to dclick on the cast member.  In fact to look at each cast member i have to dclick, close, dclick etc.

When trying to find a cast member where the name doesn't do it .. how can i just highlight the cast member and have a picture display.

Is this possible or is this a feature request?

Thanks

It's already possible. On top of the cast/crew list you have a small button with an arrow down on it. Click and hold left mouse button and pull it down.

What do you mean by "dclick, close, dclick"? Where do you have to double-click to do what exactly?

When you open a profile for editing (dclick in the collection list) you can switch to cast and select a cast member
Then you can click on select cast member which brings him or her up on the left list.
Now you can dclick on "Drag an image here" and your browser will open with a Google search.
Copy a picture you like, go back to DVDP, right-click on the image and select "Paste"

The reason these images are not distributed by the online database is that they are mostly copyright-protected. Depending on your juristiction you can copy them under the "fair use" principle for your private use but Invelos couldn't be distributing them without a license.

It's the cast/crew list on the layout. He can't see any headshots, but when doubleclicking on an actor he gets a window pop up with it's headshot (and a list of all profiles he's credited).

Once again .. thanks for the replies.  I had tried scrolling that window open but has seen nothing.  The trick was to move to another actor with picture then the picture appeared. 

Thanks
