Hi,

I am not sure if it is an intended design or if it is a 'bug' however I will show you two issues I have found in the Movie Database Editor in the MP Config.

1) When you are editing the summary of a movie/file in the database editor. IE. Your mouse and cursor are in that box. If you press enter, it completely closes the MP Config app itself, rather than going down one line ! This is extremely frustrating when you are editing multiple items, because they do not save and close the entire Config app.

2) This follows on from the behaviour of point 1... If you edit multiple entries in the movie database editor within the MP App, if you forget to press the save button next to the title and press ok it forgets all the changes you have made to all the movies. Can I suggest that prior to the MP app closing, that it asks if you wish to save the changes made? Please please... Very very frustrating when you are doing multiple items and looses all the changes.

Thanks

1) I can confirm that the "Summary:" multi-line text box does not have the "AcceptsReturn" property set to True (property name for tbDescription control). The fix requires zero lines of code to implement. Also, the "OK" button gains focus when you type in the Summary field so hitting return/enter also closes the application. Really annoying.

2) To all the movies? Don't you mean all changes to the movie you are currently editing? If you make a change then navigate away from the current movie by pressing OK, cancel, "Title" menu, etc ... then you quietly lose changes to the current movie.

BTW, you can use ctrl-enter instead of enter to insert newlines into the summary.

I am glad someone confirmed this, lets hope it is accepted as a bug/design issue and fixed

You lost me a little on this one, I am really just thinking there should be a prompt if you forget to press the save button rather than loosing the info.

Because if you press enter, as the behaviour in point 1 suggests, not only does it close the box like you would think it shouldn't, but you also loose changes you have made in the editor.

Spaldo, please note that you can use ctrl-enter instead of enter to insert newlines into the summary.

I think his issue is the same as mine. We are used to using enter as a carriage return. Old dog new tricks and all that.

P.S. I have found myself getting really frustrated with this.

Thanks Rick, I have been doing this when I remember, but you shouldn't need to do this. The focus should not be on the OK key rather than allowing you to enter down lines.

Exactly.. it is very frustrating, the second you forget you have lost the changes and are no longer in the config
