Title: Keyword Search
Post by: Geraldo Garcia on November 30, 2015, 06:43:07 PM
A few years back, when I was getting used to Qimage Ultimate and deciding if I would use it or not, the automated job log + keyword search was the feature that sold it to me.
It saves me a lot of time and headache while reprinting and my job is basically to print limited and numbered series of large format artwork on demand. It is not unusual for a client to call after months asking me to run the next print of a series in a hurry because he made a sale of opportunity. Qimage makes this job a lot easier, I just perform a keyword search with the image name or the client/folder name and I am ready to print. I can't thank you enough for that.

But, with the intent of making things even easier I will suggest/ask a feature:
A "Next" button on the keyword search, so we could jump to the next match without scrolling.
Alternatively it could be implemented as a keyword "filter", only displaying the matching jobs.

The current search is great, but when we have a few matching jobs scattered under thousands of jobs it is easy to miss them while scrolling.

Thanks

Glad you are finding it useful!

Unless I'm not interpretting the feature request properly, that's already there.  You can use the + and - keys to scroll the window to the next and prev item found respectively.

Regards,
Mike

Oh, come on!  :D

I tested arrows, page up & down, ctrl arrows, alt arrows... Never occurred me to test + & -!
Thanks, my life just got easier.
