Sorry if it's a dumb idea or if it never could get realized, but as I don't know really much about programming perhaps you Plugin developer can say me this. 

We've some nice ideas and threads that bring up some new content to profiles of DVDP. In my mind I've these two:
http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=432352
http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=407358

I think it would be great to have plugin/tool thich could automatically download the Screencaps and/or the Trivias which are provided and added them to the profiles in the collection.

As I wrote at the beginning, I've no idea if this is possible, but wanted to bring up the idea as it would be very time saving.

Would be cool if something like that is possible.
Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer.

That's a great idea. Ever since I've started with the Trivia HTML window, I've been thinking about something similar as you, VirusPil. To display the trivia from IMDb or some other site is no problem, but saving it on the user's computer for offline usage is only possible with a DVDP plugin.

Trivia, gallery images, additional info about cast & crew, . . .  endless opportunities!!11!!! 

I'll eventually request access to the plugin developers forum... at least if no established plugin developer accepts the challenge

Well you can write such a tool without using a plugin. Just read the profiler XML and do your thing. (Edit: sorry, folder paths available in DP_VARS, not XML).

Once the data is stored in the correct folders, your existing HTML windows can access the profile-relevant portion.

Of course, please go ahead with the plugin route if you desire, I was just pointing out that I don't think you need to just to be able to store stuff on the user's computer. The advantage of a plugin would be able to grab the relevant folder paths at runtime.
Thanks for your support.

Maybe DJDoena could tweak his Cast & Crew editor to lift the trivia section info, just like it does the C&C info, BY's and Headshots, and then have it write the info and apply the <trivia= and /> in the notes section.

As I've seen for Trivia DjDoena overworked his Cast & Crew Edit.

Many Thanks for this!!!!

Agree. 

This is a great tool. Many thanks to DJ again. 
This will help many users to fill in the Trivia field, even if often too much stuff ("unnecessary") is listed in imdb. I personnally like the Trivias that are like Addicted2DVD posted in his Trivia thread. But this is just personnel opinion, so for other users this is absolutely and exactly what they want.
