Nice idea. However (sigh):

Whenever there is an actor/actress a headshot exists of in my headshots folder, the program will stop with the following error message:

Quote:
Line 0 (File "C:\HeadImports.exe)

$Pid = Run("mspaint """" & $sFile & """")

Error: Unable to execute the external program.


Is it possibly due to the fact that I do not have MS Paint?

Duh... the answer is: yes. After installing MS Paint it all went well.

Thanks!

hi,
great tool! but it doesn't work right on my system... i have vista installed, maybe this is the main problem here   

i start the program and everything works fine but headsimport only does names with first-name beginning with letter "C" so it finds many headshots and works really well, but when done with all names beginning with letter "C" it starts right from the beginning and overwrites the images it has found before... so in my whole collection there are only pictures from persons with names like chris, christina, catherine... and so on
any suggestions?
thx
mico

I wouldn't recommend using the headshots DB, because it also gives you a ton of birth years.

  Kenny Baker 1912 & 1934
  Matthew Beard 1925 & 1989
  Colin Farrell 1938 & 1976
  Harrison Ford 1884 & 1942
  Jim Norton 1938 & 1968
  Tracy Reed 1942 & 1949
  Kevin Smith 1963 & 1970
  Liz Smith 1921 & 1923
  John Williams 1903 & 1932
  Mike Mills 1958 & 1966
  James Brown 1920 & 1933

And there are also 2 "Robert Taylor", but I don't know if the version 2 of the database has been cleared of invalid birthdates.  It's been so long since the last update, my version of the database has grown up with at least 1500 new/replaced headshots.

Version 2 which is currently available for download was cleared of invalid BY's. There is only one Robert Taylor in it (without BY). There is only those 11 pairs with birthyears.

If you click on the place where the head shot goes, it will take you to a google page filled with headshots of that actor.  Well known actors anyway.



And then you just copy and paste whichever one you want....  thanks for this it works a charm

Can somebody help me?
