We all know it: A huge part of the profiles in the database might be complete, but there are still a lot with "missing pieces". One has no studio, the next no country, then there is missing e. g. the "sound guy" or the cinematographer... and if you want to complete profiles like these, it's hell of a job to search for them. And the bigger your collection is, the more time this research costs.

Yeah, for sure, sometimes the missing one isn't even credited, but that's another thing!

As I am actually in a good mood for completion and contribution, I am searching for any tool with that function:

It checks all profiles, and when the tool has finished the job, I get a list which says: Profile #1234 - missing: sound editor, profile #2143 - missing: media company, profile # 765 - missing: release date
and so on

Tell me your opinion of I am the only one looking for a tool like this to improve the database and if you think that this would make sense - or not!

And finally - if you are one of the guys who are able to create such stuff - if there is a chance to get this tool done ;-)

I think that it could be created as my genealogic software has this kind of tool integrated to tell me if there are missing dates or locations.

So I am very curious about especially YOUR opinion!

While it cannot tell you that no sound editor is credited, it can tell you that crew is missing altogether or the overview is missing or that there are no media companies.

If you want to try an alternative to DJ's program, I offer ProfilerMissing.

Or ...

If you want a lot more configurablility, there is ProfilerQuery, where you can, for example, search for profiles will less than 4 crew members (or whatever number you chose). A good way to find profiles that can do with some updating.
My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.
