Request: ABC bar for quick search author

Jason_54 · 12-07-2013, 05:48 AM

When dealing with a large number of books, there are several ways to find the right book/author. I think it would be a nice feature if there was the possibility to show a ‘ABC bar’ (for instance between the book list and the metadata) to quickly jump to the first author whose name starts with the chosen character.

It exists: It is part of the Tag browser.
It is easiest to use when the sections have been collapsed (the minus next to find) to the basic Tags categories.
Click the > in front of Authors now you have your ABC list

Click on the > and the just the list expands

Click on the title and that range Searches and will show in the spreadsheet (slower)

Super, never noticed it there! Most of the times I don't use the Tag Browser because it takes al lot of the screen. I'll change my behaviour... ;-)
