I installed the latest version today hoping that the various problems with the batch update movie details tool would be resolved. This update did not fix the problems that earlier versions of this tool created in a user's personal database (see earlier postings by me for details).
I checked nearly 30 movies today that the previous versions of batch update movie details tool had put Tyrone Power into the actors field for about 270 movies after his death. I ran the batch update movie details process again on these 30 films and ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGE was recorded in the actors field. In other words Tyrone Power is still listed in films in which he is not an actor.
I did run batch update movie details against 30 films which had not been updated by the previous version and therefore did not contain the Tyrone Power error (in several small batches to reduce the likelihood of further messing up my database of 5,200 films). These 30 non-updated films were correctly updated and Tyrone Power was not injected as an actor.
I am not declaring batch update movie details safe to use until I complete the process on about 3,000 remaining films AND version 7.6 does not fix the problems that this specific tool introduced into 100's of films in my personal database.
I advise anyone considering the use of the batch update movie details tool to proceed slowly. Update in very small batches (5 or less) until you confirm that the process is doing what you expect and no errors are being introduced into your personal database. I backup my data daily but because I was not expecting this tool to inject a dead actor into the actor field I did not notice it for several days and could not recover from it.
I wonder if Tyrone Power is getting a grin about some of the "roles" he got after his death?
