If it wouldn't be a big thing to add in I would like to see how many times a person is credited in a profile after double clicking their name.  Something like this:



Useful for seeing at a glance how many episodes of a tv series a person has appeared in or if a person had more than 1 role in a film.

Until this is implemented, Goodguy's Credits+ plugin goes a long way, even showing which episodes. No counter though.

I use this and it's great. But MarEll's idea would be a great companion to that.

I can't believe that past me by, thanks. 

Although it's great to see specifically what episodes people were in, it would still be nice to see how many episodes people were in without having to switch to another window.

One thing I've noticed about the HTML window though is that for season 1 of ST: Voyager it shows Mulgrew (Janeway) as being in episodes 103-116, 721 but Beltrane (Chakotay) and others as only being in 721.  Even though they are entered correctly in the cast info.  Anyone else have this problem? 

On a side note, does anyone know what the episode numbers in Voyager mean?  I've checked other R2 profiles amd some R1 profiles and some go 1,2,3... while others go 721,103,104...

Nevermind, it was because the roles weren't consistant throughout the episodes.  Chakotay vs Commander Chakotay etc.

You can configure Credits Plus to ignore role differences or even Credited As differences. If you edit the HTML section you will find a number of configuration variables at the top.

For example, changing the line:
@set @GCP_KEY_ROLE = true;

to:
@set @GCP_KEY_ROLE = false;

will ignore role differences. Of course, it will also only show the first role it comes across in such a case.

Without editing the configuration, you can simply choose to sort the display by name rather than by episode order. That will still give you multiple entries for an actor with varying roles, but they are listed together.

Yeah, I had a dabble after my last post and found the setting but as you say it only displays the first one it finds, which is a shame.

Is there any way to sort by role name?  Would be a great way of seeing what episodes a character has been in.

That should be pretty simple. I have scheduled this for an overhaul for some time now, but something else seems to always get in the way.
