Director information does not appear in iTunes "Director" field #154

When I specify a Director in metaZ, the Write to file, I see it on the movie details next to Actors in iTunes. However, when I Command+I on the movie to access metadata using the rudimentary apple built-in tool, the Director field is empty. In iTunes, Director is a Filter (i.e. searchable) field. Because Director name does not populate to the iTunes proper field, it is not searchable.

iTunes appears to use the Artist field for Director in the Film Info window. The Directors field is displayed in the main iTunes UI, but isn't visible in the Film Info window or editable.

Currently MetaZ (1.0-beta113) populates the Artist field with the actors for movies, which results in a very long list in the Director field in iTunes. However, iTunes doesn't seem to expose the Director field anywhere else - in the list view for films, Artist is available as a column option.
