Re: Predictive Search
Regarding the "aña" vs "ana" search, would it be possible to make an initial search that is case/accent insensitive , and then refine it to prioritize the case/accent sensitive results? This way the intended results would appear first, but if someone makes a mistake (such as the...

Re: Predictive Search
I searched for "Electra" and it finds it, but searching for "electra" fails to find it, curious! Maybe I missed something. Both "Electra" and "electra" provide the same results in searching. But they show different results in autocomplete. Are you referring t...

... Having said that, it would be nice to know what other users think about this subject, in order to get more feedback and ideas. I suspect this discussion has been too abstract for most users.

Re: Predictive Search
If table data does not contain Upper case characters, we can never match them as Upper case characters. However, if table data contains Upper case characters, then we can match or ignore them, depending on the collation being used. I understood your point. I just happen to disagree with you :) That...

Re: DIVMMC Enjoy problem
Many things can go wrong. IF you have extra means of debugging, like a a data analyser or similar, you could try and check what is happening, directly on the bus. I know that DIVMMC, replaces the ZX ROM to boot from internal FLASH, and one of the things it does during startup is copy the ROM into it...

Also remember, that quick search, includes: Titles, Aliases, Authors and Publishers. You probably don't need to distinguish between authors and publishers. ...

Re: Predictive Search
Sure, I understand your ideas. They are quite similar to my considerations when I created these tables about a year ago. But I still don't see how they could be improved. I don't really need to store text in these tables as lowercase only, since all comparisons use "ci" collation. Everyth...

Rubber domes can be found online, for replacement.

Re: DIVMMC Enjoy problem
That's really weird.
Does the computer work, when you unplug the DIVMMC ?
Have you checked the Deep switches and how they are setup, according to the manual ?
Have you tried updating the firmware of the thing, using the SD Card ?

Re: Predictive Search
I'm not sure what was the reason/motivation behind removing the spaces, but I'm sure there must have been one. The motivation is that users searching for either "Knight Lore" or "Knightlore" will work in both cases. Searching for either "Chop Lifter" or "Choplifte...

Re: Predictive Search
On another note, take into account, that the autocomplete feature, can not show a huge amount of results, so the result is being limited to the first 10 entries, listed in alphabetical ascending order. If the user does not find the result he expects, he needs to drill down into a more specific conte...

Re: BunnyGun Portable Sprite Editor for ZXDS
... Not sure what you could use there. Do any emulators translate touchscreen inputs into Kempston mouse clicks? Yep, some do. They either show a super imposed cursor pad, on screen (that you can attach one of those weird physical joysticks with a suction cup to attach to the screen), or in some ca...

Re: Predictive Search
To the ones, that keep an eye on the Tab Icons, there is a proposal for a new one on this new page. It was based on the site Logo, but its design was adapted to fit the size restrictions of a favicon. Previous favicon was just a rescale of the site logo, and becomes unreadable and blurry at smaller ...

I will probably try it, for an on the go editing, on my mobile.

Re: Predictive Search
Yeah, it works. It's a bit weird typing in "Cyb" and getting results that have "cyb" somewhere inside them, rather than starting with it. We may need to add in some modifiers for the user to specify where the results need to match. That's the current behaviour, of the search_by ...
