Beta 6 - Thanks Spiril!!!

[Andre]

Thanks for listening to all the chatter here about the drop-down group selector... but it was a bit sneaky to hide it where you did though, were you hoping we wouldn't notice it? If and when you get a chance to code it back into a normal style drop-down box (and maybe move it to beside the Tabs rather than on the menu line) so that it's obvious that it's there, that would be great - but no hurry, I'm just glad it's back!

Also, my thanks for putting the extra options for the 'days old' display back too. That was starting to get on my nerve a bit. (Oh, and that reminds me, when you get a chance could you debug the problem which prevents a group which does not need to download any new headers from being auto-sorted? Cheers).

So now perhaps we can all get back to routine bug reports and feature requests. I'll post more on beta 6 when I've had a better look at it, but I just had to post my thanks for the selector straight away.

Many thanks again,

Andre

It is back, but man, I'd love to be able to move it somewhere else.

I just hope we can get checkboxes back now.

Thanks for the drop-down selector.

Where is the dropdown group selector option hidden? I've looked but not found it. It oughtn't be hidden like some sort of easter egg.

It should appear to the right of the Main Menu toolbar at the top of the window. If you don't see it, right click on a toolbar row or View>Toolbar menu and make sure the "Active Group Menu" toolbar option is enabled.

sneaky sneaky location of it... made me double check the forum to see the "how to enable it" to make sure it was on.

I'd love the old-style of course but still I'm not complaining. Memory leak fixed, region encoding solved, group dropdown back in... thanks so much for listening and helping.

For a while I was worried nothing from the forum was getting in

Thanks Spiril, great new beta version.

One bug I reported back on beta 5 still remains, even more noticeable now the drop down group list is back..... each time you change to view a different group with the dropdown OR GNP the scroll position should be reset back to the top.... if you've scrolled to the bottom of the previous group when you choose the next group the scrollbar is not reset.

Using Alt+left/right arrow keys works the best, it DOES reset the scroll position on a change of groups.

Here's hoping you can get this in beta 8

Thanks again

Fedorov.

Added to the Known Bugs list.

Thankx...I found it..It was there all along but it didn't look like anything to click on. The original dropdown had white, like the dropdown for Supersearch in the upper right, so I just took the [] bracketed text to be merely an indicator of the currently active group. Kinda nice the way it is..unobtrusive so that people who don't use it can easily ignore it.
