0.31.4 Global Search

[aybee5ea]

When trying to use Global Search, the "Search, Fill and Cancel" buttons are unresponsive. i.e they do nothing other than change "colour" when clicked upon. So no Global Search for me. I can perform individual searches.

Under Linux Wine (1.1.38) on my system the new skin graphics are much more slow (just about acceptable).

Thank you.

Ooops also I can't connect to my news server.

I have reverted.

I'm getting "Invalid Class Typecast" when doing a global search using XP Pro SP3. Individual searches are fine though

Still the same under Linux/Wine. Global search doesn't appear to work.

Problem is for sure on your end. It works

[aybee5ea]

OK Thanks, I'll look more carefully.

[aybee5ea]

OK. Default skin doesn't allow Global Search to work here. Some other skins seem to.

"Seem to"?  Yes or no?  Which ones do/don't?  The more precise the info, the quicker the fix will be.

LightBusiness does not, for me allow, Global Search. All the others do. For me, LightBusiness is my largest problem.

There are other complications which I can try to document later which are that some of the skins "for me" cause the found thread texts to be almost unreadable and other skins do not allow (again "for me") a "right-click" to generate a context menu.

I have settled on the Windows7 skin (which works consistently) even though I am not a great M$ fan :-)

I've just tried LightBusiness and it works ok.

Yup, I'm sure it works for you since you have tested it before release in a number of environments but which don't correspond to my environment.

I'm feeding back what is happening for me. It's obviously MY problem, but nevertheless, it's a problem I'm having.

By giving feedback I would hope that it may make someone consider what is different between the skins (if anything).

I understand that because I'm using Wine that there are different potential issues, not least, in Wine's emulation.

I'm pleased with altbinz and its functionality. For me though, functionality is always better than cosmetics.

I don't care what characteristics a stick has so long as I can throw it for my dog to return.

YMMV.

I tried all skins and got the same problem (win 7 64 bits)
