| If I try and import information on multiple actors from the web, even if I select direct links for each one, it only actually imports the information for the first one into the database. Any thoughts on why? |

| Can anyone at least tell me, should I be able to import internet data on multiple actors at once? Like I can with movies? |

Thank you for the response Alessio!
So I select the actors that I want to import (Shift select multiple) in my Actors tab. I then click on the 'Internet' icon on the top toolbar. I then get the update wizard. In the update wizard I shift select all actors again and hit continue. Then I select my script (I am primarily using IAFD actors but have similar problems with IMDB) and hit start. It procedes to go through and find either direct links or sources for all listed (I manually select them) in the import engine. Then it jumps over and starts importing the data and this is where it fails. It only imports the data from the last one selected, even though I selected links for multiple actors in the import engine. When it finally goes back to the actor list, only the one has any data imported, all the others are still blank.
Does that make sense?
It does the same thing when I right click the highlighted list of actors and select "Update selected actors from the internet"
Thanks |

I wonder if perhaps it has something to do with the scripts? Or is it the engine?
Sometimes it will get stuck in a weird loop where it says it is running 3 scripts on 3 actors, even though I have 1 script selected on 3 actors. Then it will import all 3 actors info on 1 actor and ignore the other 2. |

Am I the only one experiencing this? Or are others? Can anyone else confirm it's a problem?
I've tried it on 2 PCs - a XP 32 bit and Vista 64 bit and I get the same problem. |

| Sorry to be persistent but I am still experiencing this on 4 computers I have tried this on. I can't import more than 1 actor at a time. Can anyone else verify that this does or does not work for them? |

| I have the new 7 alpha and I can still only import actors one at a time. Even then, sometimes after I have selected an actor and hit import, as soon as I select the direct link it tells me that the actor is no longer in the database, even though it is. |

| Also when I select just one actor it acts like it is importing data but goes back to the grid and has imported nothing. |
