A number of sites (Blu-ray especially) do not have enough Actor information to allow XMM to link the Actor information of a movie to the information already within XMM. This forces me to go into the XMM Option's for Magic Script and enabling the Overwriting of existing information and then going to someplace like IMDB to get the full Actor information. In the process of course other Good information is also overwritten. It would be nice to constrain the overwriting to just the Actor data and not the entire movie record.

After having done over 30 of these Actor Updates, I have learned that any time I used a script other than IMDB.com or when it was not first in a chain, I always got the Actor's name but their role name and database/actor ID were both empty.

SUGGESTION for new FUNCTION

If it's not possible to add a Actor Update function within the ADD/EDIT card for a Movie, would it be possible to have a function within the Advanced Tools | Actor Function which would go through and put in the Actor ID's in those Movie's in which the Actor Name is there but no Actor ID is in the Actor ID Field??
