Question [Help] Tag browser

:


help:Sorry if posted wrong

I am having an issue. The tag browser isn't displaying author folders: like A authors, B authors etc.

How would I get that function back or, how do I fix it?

Right click on Authors.
Select "Sub-Categorize Authors"

That didn't help. It was already selected. I am just not sure what is wrong. as previous versions had it to where, when you clicked on the author option in the tag browser, it would show folders for each letter of the alphabet. And this latest version doesn't do that. And I liked it. now I can't view author by the letter of their last name. What am I missing?

Preferences►Look&Feel►Tag Browser►Partitioning and collapsing

These are the settings that control the behaviour. Maybe you need to tweak those?

thank you. for trying. That didn't fix it either. I am about to give up. It is just going to make things harder.

Can you post a screen shot of what you have in Preferences->Look at feel->Tag browser->Partitioning and collapsing e.g.

Question

photo one shows the authors section. There used to be folders there for every letter of the alphabet now, there isn't

photo 2 shows the same for series; and it was the same as the authors, there used to be folders

last photo shows the tag browser look and feel


I still haven't figured out why the folders aren't there

Two things :

Try switching to List view.

What is the setting for "Collapse when more…", if its not 0, try 0.
