Formerly used handles

Small problem: if you want to update a scener with a formerly used handle that has already its own id in csdb, this is not possible, you can only create a new handle, thus doubling the entry. Therefore "Arthur" was in there three times. I packed all the information of the different entries into one (id 1779) and deleted the other two, but now I can't get it together with the currently used handle "Balance" (id 7733).
In case anyone wonders: yes, I am in Uganda, but currently enjoying some days of rest -and fast internet access ;-) - in Kampala! Greetings to everybody from here!

Yes. I'm aware of this problem. I havn't got around to make an option or tool to "merge" two entries in that way, but it is something I can do manually on request.
All I need to know is the id's of the entries, and which one should become the "master"-entry (the one which photo and person-info (name, address etc) survives), and which one is the currently used handle.

If it turns out to be a big problem (lot of such entries) I might make a feature for you users to do such merge yourself, but I will not do it right away, as there is no backup-feature of such change.

A feature like that would be extremely useful. Everytime I've found duplicates or non-linked old/new handles I've PM'ed you Perff but most of them are unfortunately still not fixed.

Would it be a big deal to ad the same "search" feature like when you ad a credit to a release and so on?
