The box to select the genres is only 3-4 entries high. It could maybe be higher.

Trilarion: The box to select the genres is only 3-4 entries high. It could maybe be higher.
The same is true for all multi-select boxes. It's a compromise between having enough visibility and not taking too much screen space (especially relevant if you use several multi-select filters in one search. I wish there were a standard way to have collapsible multi-select boxes, similar to regular drop-down menus, but I haven't found one yet.

While writing this I came with an idea which I will test later. Will let you know...

Version 1.2.2 has been released with the following features:

Thank you for your suggestions. Some have been implemented and are now online.
Ah yes, so much better, my eyes thank you for your consideration and kindness! :-)

Found a solution. I will have 3-4 entries when the box is not in focus (i.e. not currently selecting from it) and increase it to 10 lines when in focus (i.e. actively selecting).

Thank you very much for this piece of software :) GoG should really take in consideration to pirate this ;)
Only thing I need now is something to search whole threads for blue text that's not cited. Would make find official statements in discussion threads a lot easier :/
Keep up the good work!

You have it. Just click the icon or add ?staff=yes to the end of the thread title.

Hey the "requirements" column seems bugged: even if I remove win+mac+patched, I still get it.
Can you check it?

Also:
- can you enlarge that column, so that the details don't cause super tall rows?
- maybe, to avoid unnecessary big scans, you should set a default search for newbies that doesn't look for everything. (ex: only latest games)

Thanks

p.s: how do you obtain GOG's data exactly? html scan for all site? O_o

phaolo: Hey the "requirements" column seems bugged: even if I remove win+mac+patched, I still get it.

Are you using a url you have saved/bookmarked before the current version?
If so, you need to recreate it from the search engine (or simply add "&ver=130" at the end).
This is an expected side effect of the introduction of version numbers.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

EDIT: on second thought, I realised this might be confusing to quite a few users, so reverted that change. Should be OK now even without the "&ver=130". Sorry.

This is controlled by the browser and is very difficult to manage consistently across different browsers, platforms and screen sizes.

I'll think about it.

Gog and Magog have a long and complex history, ranging from Biblical nations to British giants:
