I used to be able to click on an actor's picture in the info window and a pop-up asked if I wanted to list local library items or online info from tmdb and I'd select the latter. At the top, is the quick fact actor bios. Listed are - age, born, place of birth, gender, and an 'also known as' field. That aka is filled with gibberish lettering I'm not familiar with. There used to be an entry for a movie count the actor had done. That's gone now. I miss that item a lot more than the 'aka' replacement item and/or gender. Estuary displays these fields differently, so I guess it's skin related and why I bring it up here.
Fwiw, there was a day when the actor bios was much more rich - height, weight, married, etc. although I don't expect those details to ever be shown again. I suppose the info was scraped from a different source back then... like a Wiki or something and the info from tmdb is probably limited, so that's expected.
Also, I notice when I click on an actor picture, I'm presented with other pics of them sometimes. Scrolling through these pics presents the large pics on the left but viewing them isn't clean. I used to be able to select any of the actors' pics and a large pic would be presented in a new window which would scroll through all the other pics using the left and right direction arrow keys. Nothing happens using the left and right direction keys now. Estuary behaves as expected so again I guess it's skin related. To me, the new window view has always been cleaner, free of all the other info because it just shows the actor pic(s) and nothing else. The new window does work using this skin. It always has. It just doesn't scroll using the left and right keys like Estuary does, but it used to.
Lastly, sometimes I want to know some details about the file of a title. Mainly, it's file extension. My file names are long since I include many details about the RIP. The file extension is the last bit of info about the title. I go into the info window and focus on Path: Nothing happens. Would be nice if it auto scrolled. So, I focus on File name: instead. Great, it auto scrolls... painfully, painfully slow. Wait time to get to the end of the file name to finally show the file extension is a PITA. Any chance of doubling the scroll speed? Any chance of providing a scroll speed selection button for ALL items that scroll because imo, they are all painfully slooooooooooow. Synopsis for example.
This is for your consideration. You've been doing a GREAT job preparing this for v21 and so far... so good. Thank you @mikeSiLVO
