what surface are you painting onto? -lining paper, bare plaster, old paint (matt or silk?) etc

My walls are all plaster that has been emulsioned over at various times so its just a case of changeing colours , but i would just like to get rid of hairline + type cracks , i mainly use mid sheen type paints .

for hairline cracks in the plaster i have used window putty before, and the polyfiller (or similar) for larger ones.

i dont know what others use?

For hairline cracks, is it necessary to dig out the joint into a V shape before filling or does this method only apply for larger cracks?
