IanM: re optional filters (Title, Price, Past Sale etc.)
I'm wondering if the UI could be improved by making some of these more prominent by default, or rather not 'hidden' under a drop down menu? I think it would be better to be able to navigate to to MaGog and immediately see the field to type a title to search by. Also, although I tend not to use it myself, it might also be good to immediately see the price filter option?
Other people will of course use MaGog differently, but I've come to realise that mostly I use it to find info about a specific game so title string is most often the filter I want.
Although what you suggest for title does not actually save even a single mouse click, I understand where you're coming from and how MaGog's UI indeed hides the "common" among the "never used".
Currently to select the title search you make one mouse click (click on the filter drop down and select title), then you're ready to type and launch it all with a "Ctrl-Enter".
With a direct title search box you will also make one mouse click (click inside the title box), then you'll be similarly ready to type and launch it all with a "Ctrl-Enter".
However, as I said, I can see the convenience of a direct title box, but I'm also wary of overloading MaGog's already overloaded interface with one more set of boxes (title, price, etc.). But perhaps just one additional text box, for title, which is indeed the most common search on MaGog.
I could make the text box optional (much like the optional tag checkboxes, which I expect many do not use, although I use them on most of my searches).
Anyhow, I'll think about it and see what I can do. How soon it'll appear depends on GOG's threat of an imminent overhaul to the library interface (which will likely have me scrabbling to adapt MaGog to), as well as the difficulty of implementing the feature I am currently working on (which I am pretty certain absolutely no one will use but myself, but hey, I'm important too...).
