Why do i have to have Search or Image Database open?

Postby Sjah » Mon Feb 07, 2011 9:51 am

Considering buying a license, I like v5, but before buying I tried 6, and it got a little showstopper.

When is 6 Final expected? I can continue to use v5 for 5 years if I'd like, right?

Ok . problem is, I don't use or like the Search of Newsbin, got NZBindex.com doing that stuff. But when i select to not show the Search, i got a lost part of my screen-estate. Of course i can maximize the other windows, but NP DOESN'T remember after a restart.... And then i could use Image database in that space, but don't use that either.

Is this going to be fixed?

Furthermore, I am a pity that Autopar tab is gone in v6, I'd love to see in detail what's going on when doing a repair, like how long the expected time till completing is.

there is no eta ion when a final of 6 is available, its only just come out for beta testing!!

you can use whatever version ylu want to use, you do not have to use v6 if you do not want to

the tabs are going to change and the search will become like the other tables and movable

1 - One key works with any version

2 - 5.X isn't going away even after 6 is released.

3 - 6 isn't released, it's a beta. It's going to change significantly before it's done. As for the tabs, that's changing too.

4 - What happens of you move the slider all the way to the top hiding the top area?

This suggests that somethingis stopping NB from storing these values. I am sure Quade will mention where they are stored so you can check permissions etc.

Gets stored in the registry. I'll have to give it a try.
