Just curios ...

I clicked on the link above and when I got to the site I could see the file but it was not active.

Do you have to do something special to get this?

I believe it is an embedded java applet... are you bu chance blicking any java or activex? The green download button should be in the upper right with a 3 character code to enter to access the download.

Just wanted to stop back and say THANK YOU for doing this.

I did a restore using the "Let me pick the image" mode and got to look at the pics rather then just overwriting all of them (which turned out to be a good thing or I would have ended up with two topless pics in there ... not that I would mind ... but was nice to know that I could choose which I wanted).

You had some REALLY good upgrades in there.

Thank you again for taking the time to do these and making them available to others to enjoy.

Here's their mission statement:

This is "our attempt to honor many personalities in the movie business, both famous and not so famous. Our ambition is to get one screengrab and a filmography for, well, everyone."

So, I've been going through my collection from the top, adding headshots from Aveleyman.com for everyone I could find (that didn't already have a headshot). There's a fair amount of non-aveleyman.com headshots in there as well, but I'd say about 90% of the new headshots are from aveleyman.com.

I just finished the A's (57 movies) and a backup of my headshot database now sits at 172mb (compared to 107mb for the master, 75mb for Surfeur's, and 125mb for Armand's) so there should be a fair amount of new stuff there if anyone wants it.

A couple of other comments:

- While I have no added any Adult-type pictures, there may very well be some in there from previous people's database work.

- There's mostly less famous character actors or people credited with "Man on Sidewalk" type pictures, so if that's not your bag I wouldn't bother downloading this update.

- The VAST majority of new headshots are for actors who previously didn't have one. I'd estimate that about 10-15 of the headshots are improvements on existing pictures, while the rest is new.

Anyway, if you want it here it is:

Whenever I finish the B's I'll post the next backup.

In your DB are still the persons without headshot. It is better, you clear this person before upload the DB.
1. Export Person DB with headless people
2. Import Person DB in empty DB
3. Start the Repair Tool
4. Export Headshot Person DB
5. Upload

Gotcha. I'll do that and re-upload the file.

PS: You have still 43660 cast persons without a headshot in your DB,  but in my normal DB it is not better. 

Yeah... I probably only added about 250 people or so. It's slow going, but we'll get there. Once I've gone through all my movies at aveleyman.com I'm going to start going through the entire cast database at the same website. Once that's done... I'll start over at the A's and simply use Google I guess.
