Hi all,
First of all, thanks for this great program, it's making my life so much easier!

I noticed a "Close all sieves" option in the Tabs menu, so I clicked on it and, naturally, all my tabs closed. Problem is I coudn't find an "open all tabs" option and had to reopen them all one by one. Was there an easier way of reopening them all?

Also, when I reopened them, I used the "Sieves" menu. The problem is that the list of sieves in the menu doesn't scroll down, I can only see the first 35 sieves (I have about 150 searches saved). So I had to reopen all the others via the "Manage Sieves" option, which was a bit tedious. Any idea why I wasn't able to scroll down? Is that a bug?

Thanks a lot for your feedback,

Hi Jim,

It's not so much a bug but rather a deficiency in Java.

There's a way to deal with this which should help you.

Let's say you have a bunch of sieves involving searches for DVDs.

Open one of these sieves and click on "Options". In the panel that drops down, over on the right there are two fields, "Sieve name" and "Menu tags".

Enter DVD into the "Menu tags" field. Do this for all the other sieves as well.

Now click on the Sieves menu and you'll see those sieves have been put under a DVD submenu! And from there you can choose "Open all" to open them all in one go.

Hi Nev,

Thanks for the reply.
I did as you said and, yes, the "open all" option appeared, which is very convenient.
I still can't scroll down in the menu though, which means that if I add too many entries to the sub-menu, the "open all" option will eventually disappear at the bottom of the scream and will be out of reach.
I guess I'll just make sure not too add too many sieves to the same sub menu then!

Thanks a lot for your help

You can add further submenus - just add extra tags separated by spaces.
Eg
DVD StarWars
DVD Bourne
