Would it be possible to have $(SEARCH) varible AGAIN

Postby wmoritz » Fri Jan 15, 2016 5:17 pm

We missed it in V6.70 Beta 2.
Right now I get "C:\i\$(STRING)" download path when I started a "New Search Tab" with search item called "Chevy".
I wanted a download path of "C:\i\Chevy"

Is it possible in the next Beta?

It might be. There's another thing I need to fix with pathing so I might be able to roll that in too.

Version 6.71 lost the feature.
Version 6.70 works, 6.71 fails, please fix.
Thank you kindly again.

I just tested it and it worked.

One thing I noticed is that I had a path set in the group for the download and it used the group's download path so I had to add "$(SEARCH)" there too.

Now, what I tested was using a search string for the iSearch engine. If you're doing something else let me know.

Tell me how to reproduce it and I'll look.
