Regarding the director:

1. Bring up the search box from search in the main menu.

2. Type in an actor (for example, Bogart).

3. A list of movies Bogart has appeared in shows in the search results.

4. Click into a movie from these search results (for example, Casablanca).

5. The movie's information page shows (in this case Casablanca).

6. I click into the director that worked on Casablanca (for example Michael Curtiz the director).

7. I am thrown back out to the main menu and my cursor is on the SEARCH main title.

Regarding the writer:

1. Bring up the search box from search in the main menu.

2. Type in an actor (for example, Don Ameche).

3. A list of movies Doen Ameche has appeared in shows in the search results.

4. Click into a movie from these search results (for example, Heaven Can Wait).

5. The movie's information page shows (in this case Heaven Can Wait).

6. I click into the director that worked on Heaven Can Wait (for example Samson Raphaelson).

7. I am thrown back out to the main menu and my cursor is on the SEARCH main title.

(I have tested the country and studio in the above format and they both work fine.)

@robertlaing , thank you for the detailed steps.  Could you please try the latest from GitHub? I think I have fixed these issues.  The only caveat for the fix is that now, if you do a general search (director, writer, actor or crew member), and then do a single search (genre, country, studio, tag), you will not go back to the general search results window when you exit the single search results window.  I will not be changing this behavior at the moment.

Please test thoroughly and let me know what other issues you find, as there might be.  This is a complex (for me) area to work on, so some scenarios might have slipped through.  Thanks.

Regards,

Bart

Hi Bart,

Thank you so much for sorting this out, I can imagine the complexity of it all!

I have had a really good test of this, and all I can find that needs pointing out is the following:

When in a movie info page, if I go to choose to click on the director or writer where more than one person exists in that category, nothing happens.

However, I then decided to put a writer's name into the search box where I knew they shared the credits with another writer. For example I entered Billy Wilder, and it brought up all the films he had directed and wrote, including those where he shared the writing credits with. One example being Sabrina where Billy Wilder shared the wriring credits with Samuel A. Taylor and Ernest Lehman. So that works great when you use the search box to look at directors and writers.

However, say if I access the movie information page for Sabrina from my main movie list, then go to click on writers, nothing happens at all.

I have looked at Estuary, and in there when there is more than one director or writer in that category, it then brings up a box to ask you which name you wish to search for. Is this something you could do?

Thanks once again for all your help Bart.

Kind regards,
Robert.
