umm… hmm, what is the issue? well I do have to click 1 extra time on the search box …that’s an issue, right? lol! … but seriously, it wasn’t really a report of an issue, it was more of a would like to have feature … and when I see the Catalog, which I never seem to use it because i go strait for search, but just think to myself… “hmm, i would so use that feature, if it had this 1 extra feature of a search filter” . .that’s really all.
The side bar didn’t always dock and stay visible (it still doesn’t on smaller screens), so the search was designed to be the primary way of looking for items (1 less click/tap). I agree that on wide screens the filter would remove 1 extra click, I might squeeze it in at some point, but the catalog was initially meant as an alternative way of exploring the items and not replace the search, so it’s a low priority.
It sounds simple enough to implement properly (what I had in the tests was a hack), but nothing is simple in the end and fixing all the edge cases takes a surprisingly long time, I’d rather use it on new features atm
To clarify: I’m not shooting the idea down or saying stuff like this shouldn’t be asked, no other way of getting me to think about it and maybe implementing it in the end
fully understood and agree. as a solutions expert by trade, but get where you are coming from and I know none of it is easy unless it’s designed to do what is asked from the beginning. I just wasn’t sure what all you had in place seeing as you had the ability to hide/show icons, and do a semi filter … and as you said, you tried it and it didn’t work well… (so you kind of allready thought it out) … my ideas was … in case you didn’t think of it, maybe it was something overlooked or simple to add… no hard feelings, and again… fully get where you are coming from.
keep up the good work man. saves others from having to spend the time doing the same thing and really help the gaming community.
Hmm you’re right, seems that the error recovery isn’t 100% working, I’ve restarted it now and it seems to be working fine. I’ll try to figure out what happened.
