Central folder for actors, I have enable save actor thumbs and save as actor_name extn

I see, and what you are getting is two images of the actor, but each image file has a different number appended after the actor's name.

Yes, exactly what happened.

I had a different theory of why it happened.

My original settings where to scrape everything from IMDB and scrape actors from TMDB, and if not available fallback to IMDB. The initial scrape of my entire collection (2 months ago) worked great with no issues.

I then tried to batch scrape actors to see if there were any new images without changing my settings. For some reason, it either ignored that I preferred actors from TMDB or didn't see that I already had the actors and ended up downloading from IMDB and that is how I ended up with duplicates.

I have now redone the scraping from scratch and selected TMDB as my scraper, with no fallback to IMDB if it could find actors.

I would not waste your time in adding a different option, at least for me, it is not worth it. Maybe time better spent would be to go over the batch scraping options to see where it pulls the data from. If it somehow checks what your global settings are before scraping.

thanks
