| | Posted: | | | | When accepting updates, we have the option to skip all unchanged. This option should be expanded to also skips any changes that make no difference in our database. For instance:
If my local DB has a credit for Angus MacFarland and the update has Angus Macfarland, accepting it won't do anything because you can only change capitalization manually. This should be skipped.
If I have Angus MacFarland (1945) and the update has Angus MacFarland with no BY, I should be able to auto-skip this as well since accepting would do nothing.
Also, going through updates would be a lot faster with a keyboard shortcut to accept all unlocked. |

| | Posted: | | | | For my understanding the birth year have an impact since you update an actor in a dvd with the BY, when you will click on it, you won't see the other dvd where the same actor haven't been updated to have the BY and so finally, you "break" the display per actor, isn't it? |

No. When you accept an update that adds a birth year, all instances of that actor in your DB which do not currently have a birth year are assigned that year. I'm talking about the reverse case. When you do have a birth year locally and you accept an update that doesn't, nothing changes, so it should be skipped by the "skip unchanged" option. |
