Title: Suggestion: Add "Disk Writer" to the Options search data base.
Post by: markf2748 on August 23, 2024, 12:12:52 pm
The search bar at the bottom of the Options menu is comprehensive and very helpful.  It rarely fails me.
However "Disk Writer", one of the lesser known corners of MC and one whose location has changed over time, is something it does not find.
I realize "Disk Writer" is in an extended drop down menu under Options >Audio > Audio Device, but can it somehow be added to the search for those versions where it exists?  (Admittedly the wiki page is already pretty clear).

It only searches for the option name, not the setting.

Interesting, but there seems to be some variability.  For example, search for "Gapless" or "Normal".  For these "settings", search finds the option names under which they are available (even when they are not currently selected). 

Seems to me it would be helpful if a search on "Disk", "Write", "Writer", or "Disk Writer" found the option "Audio Device" under which "Disk Writer" is listed, especially because it is an unfamiliar setting for many users and is somewhat hidden in the extended menu.

I agree with you.  There are backslashes in the name so the search doesn't trigger.  I'll see about tuning things next week.  Thanks.
