I would like to see certain sections of Profiler have a 'Clear Data' button attached.
With the common practice of cloning between profiles a lot of the time incorrect data is included in sections that are not quick to erase.

Therefore a button that will clear that section would be excellent.
The three in particular are are audio tracks, subtitles and Features.

I could write I plugin for that if you like.

I have most of the code in a private plugin of mine anyways (I call the funtion "Clean Profile" )

That sounds great DJ. Would it be something I'd have to load each time I use it, or would it be readily available?

Many thanks!

The main thing I would want a clear button for is to completely clear out the cast and crew sections. Mainly because of all my TV Series profiles... I only keep cast and crew in the child profiles and delete them from the parent profiles. A clear button for those fields would make things much easier.

An easy way to do this Pete is to copy & paste the crew/cast from another profile with small cast/crew and than delete... Not ideal, but I do that when I re-do the profiles for complete season since it's a lot faster to get blank cast/crew.

Yeah... that is how I do it currently. But if there was a plugin to put a clear button for them I would definitely use it.

Just create a text file with

For cast:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<CastInformation>
  <Title>New</Title>
  <Actors/>
</CastInformation>

For crew:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<CrewInformation>
  <Title>New</Title>
  <Credits/>
</CrewInformation>

Copy your text file and paste on the profile you want to clean.

I do the same Pete, so to clear them I insert a blank divider after the first cast member and copy/past entire cast. All you're left with is one person and it's only a few clicks.

For the crew just do the same with the first episode and then delete.

Cool.

(I never had any problems/already knew the quick ways for clearing the larger fields, but this is nonetheless a plugins worth saving!)
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving isn't for you.

He who MUST get the last word in on a pointless, endless argument doesn't win. It makes him the bigger jerk.
