CC Prerelease V3.4.0d - Page 3

I report no issues on my nexus. And I would agree, that hidden groups don't need to be linked. I feel that if I've hidden the group in the first place, I don't see that I would necessarily need to have a link that will take me to that grouping.

I think as long as it doesn't crash, you could go either way. Chances are they people who his publisher won't care about publisher links. And so on.

So do whatever is easier.

Thanks for this. It tells me that the problem I am seeing is systemic.

My apologies for not reading carefully.

First is to find out why it is now crashing while before it didn't. Clearly it is related to my user-defined sort changes. I interpret the comments as saying "either way is fine", so once I have fixed the crash then I will take the easiest approach.

That's what I meant. I am on a phone and didn't notice the autocorrect.

Just from a personal POV, when I disable a grouping, e.g. Publisher, it means 'I don't care about Publisher and have no interest in clicking Publisher links'.

Although on small screens clicking things you didn't mean to is fairly common so crashes wouldn't be desirable. Doing nothing if a Publisher link was clicked would be perfectly acceptable.

You raise the main issue that got me thinking about this. If I hide the groups then will I be confused by seeing the links? Will I be even more confused if I click on one (accidentally or otherwise) and the group "magically" appears, then disappears if I select another group?

The other viewpoint is that even though I hid a group, I might want to chase down a value I see in book details. This could be especially true for groups made from custom columns.

I smell another option coming.

Can you make sure that there's an easy way to UNhide, things, please? I don't want to hide "Publishers" and then not be able to find a way to show them again

I am a bit confused by the question.

One hides a group by going to settings and selecting the setting "Select groups to show". You are presented with a list of checkboxes, one per group. If you uncheck the box for a group then the group is hidden. If you check it, the group is shown. As such, if you figured out how to hide a group then you should know how to show it again. Does this address the issue behind your question?

That sounds very straightforward. I must have overlooked that option, or is it a new feature in the development version?

It is in the last prerelease, which by definition is the development version.

Two minor UI inconsistencies. When on either the "Select groups to show" or the "Auto-sort when choosing a group" page pressing the CC icon at the top does not back you out as it does elsewhere in the app.

Thanks for that. The same thing happens when selecting which sorts to show. I found a general fix.
