Guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi,Pressing an alphanumeric key in the catagory pane does not jump to the next entry that starts with that key; it always jumps to the top (All). Only the navigation keys (up, down, pgup, pgdown, home, end) work as expected.It is like this in at least 1.7.7 and has been for a while (perhaps since the start of the catagory feature).

jewelisheaven Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 category pane isn't a listview afaik. Typing only works in the main torrent pane listview and files tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Norton Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 It is a listview in 1.8. Haven't ever tried this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 category pane isn't a listview afaik. Typing only works in the main torrent pane listview and files tab.You're right, it's a listbox in 1.7.7, but I'm pretty sure listboxes respond to keys. I'll check around and do some tests to see if that's the case.It is a listview in 1.8.Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, 1.8 has changed a little too much for me to use at the moment (custom-set layouts are not preserved).Haven't ever tried this though.You probably don't have too many catagories then. You should give it a try. I didn't care much for them at first but when they made it so that you can have both static and dynamic catagories, I really began using them a lot and love it. Of course you need to be able to jump to them with the press of a key ot make them easier to use, so I look forward to using 1.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Labels are not categories. Sorting is preserved every restart. The only time it isn't is when upgrading your settings while new columns are added. And if you're intuitive enough to know what that means http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=68 gives you all the information you need to know. Truthfully if you want to make sure this feature works right, you should keep appraised of 1.8 development. It's even easier to run it self-encapsulated to keep your settings separate from 1.7. Hmm what happened to http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=303810#p303810 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Categories and labels use the same pane, hotkey, and column, so there is at least some confusion and could use some clarification.I tried 1.8 a week or so ago and it was the column selection and sizing that was the messed up.I'll switch to self-contained mode, but that's a separate thing, I will still have to redo it when I switch to 1.8.

jewelisheaven Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Yup. Like I said, that gives you all the information you need to keep your settings on upgrading from 1.7 to 1.8. It's rather pointless atm to make a specific guide due to columns popping up and changing If you need more help just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Nah, I'm fine with it. I was going to wait until the release anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Heh, I do agree that this behavior should be made consistent throughout. That means *you*, Advanced settings! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Heh, I do agree that this behavior should be made consistent throughout. That means *you*, Advanced settings! ;DWoah you're right, Advanced Settings jumps to the top no matter what key you press and it IS a listview. What's more is that Name and Value are the only columns in there so it's not because of a hidden column, and Name is indeed column 0. Therefore I'm not sure why it's doing that since jump-keys are a built-in feature of the common control, and don't need to be programmed externally. :|It is a listview in 1.8.You're right, it is a listview in 1.8, but the jump-keys don't work in that either, they still jump to the top in 1.8.
