Filtering main window problem

ssdb · 07-06-2011, 10:22 AM

Hi all, I think I've done something and can't find an option to undo it!

In the past, when clicking on an author name in the side bar the main window would show only that author (it shows a little + by the author and filters out all the other authors) but now it highlights the author in green and keeps all the other authors there as well.

It wouldn't be a problem but when the main window is sorted by title and the author has a few books starting with different letters then it doesn't show all the authors books on the main window so it isn't possible to do a bulk edit.

It also means that items like ratings, identifiers and publishers cannot be grouped together on the main window.

Any ideas what I've done?

You clicked the "Highlight" (bars)button at the end of the search box
