Search is no longer a registered version feature and now available for free.

Search feature now includes an on screen keyboard operatable with arcade controls and game pads.

Here's a newbie question - how does one upgrade? Is it just a matter of installing the new version in the same directory as the old one? And if so, I won't lose any of my config settings will I?

Thanks

It looks nice but perhaps it would be better to layout the keys in alphabetical order and make it more into a square shape so there is less area to travel from key to key? Would also look nice with a bezeled key graphic behind the text.

It didnt occur to me not to use qwerty but having used it a little to test it is really quite nice and quick to use. At least for my brain.

So Im happy with the functionality at least.

EDIT: Id rather innovate ;)

Yes, install over the top of your existing directory. No, you won't lose your settings - but even if something goes wrong, Tom backups up your GameEx.ini file for you.

I agree with QWERTY as well. Most games and apps I've seen with an onscreen keyboard have the QWERTY layout as well.

I would say there are just about as many that have the virtual keypad that are strialph, but being an old fart that failed typing in highschool, I find myself getting lost tryoing to find the letters when QWERTY I can fly through it.

I was thinking about possibly enhancing the online keybaord to allow real time filterting of lists. So you could like pop it up anytime. What do you guys think on that?

Thanks for another update Tom! 2 thanks in 1 post. LOL. :P

I do like the idea of being able to search anytime. It would save a few steps.
