--- Comment #4 from Robby Stephenson <ro...@periapsis.org> --- > 2/ Multiple selection from an external source > > When "sourcing" entries from an external source, say IMDb, the list is reset > in-between searches. > > I sometimes want to create multiple entries from IMDb in one go.

This prevents me from selecting > the "Bambi" and the "Cinderella" I want from the (common) list and adding > them in one go, which is what I used to do in v2.3.12, and found quite handy > - I need to search for Bambi first, select the one I want, click on "Add > Entry", then run another search for Cinderella, and do the same - no big > deal, but less handy (in my humble opinion). There was a mailing list discussion on this one that resulted in the change, tracked in Bug 357799 I do see your point about this changing making the Clear button slightly pointless. Maybe that's a candidate for removal... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
