I’m using 026 and yes, it appears that a keyword search from the Keyword HUD* is still broken. However, I notice in the 026 release notes that keyword search from the search box at the top of the menu is fixed. So, the workaround is to use that box for now.
It’s a pain, though, because you have to type in the keyword. My keywords are a little long because I use a hierarchical structure and use the category name in each keyword.
For example, for characters, my keyword list looks something like this:
Character
– char Alicia
– char Wesley
– char Evan
– char Marie
So, to search for all scenes in which the character Marie appears (only 1 so far), here’s how I’d do it:
Using the search bar at the top:
- Use the drop-down next to the search icon to choose keywords.
- Type char Marie in the search box.
Using the Keyword HUD:
- Click char Marie.
- Click Search.
Obviously, I prefer the second method
- HUD - I’m having a hard time remembering what HUD stands for. Some user interfaces (for example, some of the Adobe products) are calling those types of moveable displays pods. I think some graphics programs call them palettes. I don’t expect you to do anything about this
, not only because it’s minor, but also it could just be a regionalism. Just thought I’d mention it for anyone else who stumbled on the term. And hey, it’s not what you call it, it’s how it works, and it works well!
