Bulk Star Ratings Not Working

I've reproduced this on two computers so far. In 4.5b SR-1, while in the library panel, I select multiple books (whether by ctrl-A, or shift-click) and it gives the option to "set the same rating for all". Problem is, there's no place to click on a star rating and actually set it. I can clear ratings without a problem.

Can anyone else reproduce this?

I can confirm this. Is this yet another regression of 4.5b?

I can confirm this.

I can as well. BOO! (Insert comment from the peanut gallery [:P])

And there's more. When I bring up the information panel for a single resource in the library, the "prioritize" list works but the "browse" tab shows a completely empty gray panel.

Yes.

But I guess your question was mainly rhetorical by now... [8-|]

It's cmd-A on Mac, but thanks for mentioning this. For 20 months now I've assumed that cmd-A was one of those many many things where the devs thought they didn't need to follow normal Mac standards. I've assumed that because, well, nothing ever happened when I hit cmd-A. Today, after your post and some experimenting, I've found that if I first select one post, then hit cmd-A, and then wait long enough, Logos actually does select all.

Now, can someone figure out for me what ctrl-A does? Because it actually does something as well. It jumps from selecting one resource to selecting another some lines further down, but I can't figure out what the pattern is.

When you don't know what to read, this feature selects a random resource from your library as filtered by you [:D]

Yes.

Noted that you are still on 4.5a—The Smiling One can now make another entry into the regression list. I am amazed that the developers could somewhat enable community notes and destroy so many unrelated features.

Any comment, Logos?

I am amazed that the developers could somewhat enable community notes and destroy so many unrelated features.

I don't remember exactly what the release notes say they've been working on, but I can't imagine they've managed to mess up all these things one by one. They must have broken something deep down. I presume they're busy either trying to find out what it is or how to fix it. Let's hope they've reached the second stage and that it's turned out to be something they can fix, and not like the program scaling, which I understand they once enabled, and then turned off again. (Not that it would bother me personally if they had to turn off the community notes again, but I imagine they're a necessary step towards sharing other things.)

What amazes me is that this could go through beta and be released. It's one thing to break stuff, it's quite another to release the broken build as 'stable'.

Oh, that's embarrassing. I meant to say cmd-A, but I do tech support for PCs at work so my brain gets confused at lot.

KS4J can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe most of the broken features came with the release of 4.5b SR-1

Perfectly understandable—Do we need to post a suicide watch? [:D]

I can reproduce the issue and have reported it to Development.

This issue should be resolved in 4.5c Beta 2 for beta users and in general when 4.5c ships to the stable channel.

Keep Smiling 4 Jesus :)

Logos 4.5c Beta 2 has a fix for completely gray panel: "No resource selected."

I finally had to give up and download 4.5b, and I can only say that I wish I only had your problems... I get the completely empty pane all the time. I have more than a hundred untagged resources, and no way to attach a single tag... This "update" is a complete scandal! (And the fact that I have to downgrade to it in order to be able to download my new resources is even more scandalous.)

Oddly, the tagging panel for multiple resources suddenly started working again in the middle of this week, and the day after the info panel for single resources turned up as well. Now it's just the bulk rating that still doesn't work.

almost 4 months later and still does not work... this is the reason I don't bother reporting bugs anymore. Why waste time reporting stuff that is a low priority for Logos?

Curious about versions of Logos 4 Mac and OS X ?

Logos 4.6 Beta 5 on OS X 10.6.8 can set and remove star ratings for a bunch of selected resources in the library.

Keep Smiling [:)]
