Software and app updates related to 'search as you type' (page 2)

We’ve expanded the quick search box to now also allow “search-as-you-type” with suggestions for pick list fields.

How does it work?

In the quick search box top right of your screen you should see a “dropdown” button. Use this to select which field you wish to perform a search on. If “search-as-you-type” is available for that field, it will instantly work once you start typing in the box.

Example

You can now select the field “Actor” in the quick search box, start typing an actor name, and instantly see suggestions (based on what you typed) of actors you have in your database. Click on an actor to see all his/her movies!

Fixes in this version

We also fixed some issues with the program in this version:

• Images Popup:
  • “size window to picture” showed image slightly smaller
  • .tiff images were not showing
• Add Movies Automatically:
  • “Add Anyway” would cause an Access Violation for result selected from suggestion list
• Carbon/Quicksilver Details template:
  • episode links weren’t always clickable depending on size of the details view

Improvements to Add Movies Automatically screen

• Title searches: Search-As-You-Type suggestions drop-down now includes an extra entry
  “Show all results”, to take you directly to the “normal” title search results.

Fixed:

• The Edit screen sometimes crashed when trying to add a new feature under “Episodes & Features”
• Add Movies Automatically:
  • Search As You Type: Auto select has been disabled as it was causing confusion.
