Show people included in collections

[levander 96]

You can add to collections people as cast so it would be helpful to see ‘included in collections’  in people details screen same it is with the movies.

Hi, how did you add the people to the collection exactly?

[PenkethBoy 2063]

I do it with a script that takes a defined (script option) number of actors from each movie, removes any duplicates and adds them to a collection as cast members. Also adds the directors for each movie.

You can do this manually via the metadata editor but gets old very quickly.

Script does other things as well but thats OT

Having the collections they are in show up on the Actor/Director detail page would be a nice addition.

What script are you talking about exactly?

sssh - secret handshake needed

but i will be releasing some of my scripts to a wider audience in future - things are hectic at moment just moved house (not my choice) and now buying a new place - so time for things is a bit tight for a while till things settle down
