Tag Browser glitch - now selects rather than highlights ?

Rob557 · 10-23-2012, 08:31 PM

I appear to have accidentally changed how the tag browser was working, and don't know what I did or how to change it back. I wasn't mucking around with preferences, I just appear to have mis-clicked somewhere ?? (I had just finished switching from a temp library to my main one FWIW.)

Before: Previously when I was using the tag browser and selected a tag browser category (e.g. Formats, Mobi), all books would still appear in the main display but those books that that matched the tag browser selection would be highlighted in green and I could use F3 to move from one selection to the next. If I wanted to see only the books matching the selection category then I could click on "*current search" in the drop down menu in the upper left corner.

After: Now, when I select a tag browser category, the only books that appear are those that match the selection and I can no longer see the selections in the context of the other books in the library.

It would be great if someone could please tell me how to get back to how it was working before (could not find it in preferences), and I'd be curious to find out what I might have done to change how it was working since I had not been mucking around with preferences etc. ??

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi DoctorOhh/Walt. Your reply not only tells me how to fix the problem but explains how I created it. Life is good again. Many thanks.
