Missing the filter function in the new version of Spotify? Come over here.

Hi folks,
Many of you have requested we re-add an option to filter from artist, album and playlist pages in Spotify. We're considering this feature for newer versions of the application but we're investigating the best solution. Therefore, we have a question which will help us make this feature even better than before:
What did you mainly use the filter function in Spotify for? 
Please reply to this thread with your answer.

@Spotify What sort of kind of question is this? Are you implying that no one at Spotify has a basic understanding of usability? It sure seems like it. First, I have to ask why would Spotify ever remove a feature that is in active use? Second, why do the product managers/developers at Spotify not understand the existing use of "find" or "filter"? The reason this feature was put into the product is the reason it should stay in the product. This sort of functionality has existed in computer interfaces for decades. Visual search (i.e. having a human being visually scan every item manually) is very slow and prone to error. When there is more than a little information on the screen, having the computer search for the human is much more efficient and less prone to error. I would suggest everyone at Spotify get as much remedial education as possible in usability. Here's a place to start: What — Definition of UsabilityUsability is a quality attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use. The word "usability" also refers to methods for improving ease-of-use during the design process.Usability is defined by 5 quality components:Learnability: How easy is it for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design?Efficiency: Once users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks?Memorability: When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they reestablish proficiency?Errors: How many errors do users make, how severe are these errors, and how easily can they recover from the errors?Satisfaction: How pleasant is it to use the design?There are many other important quality attributes. A key one is utility, which refers to the design's functionality: Does it do what users need?Usability and utility are equally important and together determine whether something is useful: It matters little that something is easy if it's not what you want. It's also no good if the system can hypothetically do what you want, but you can't make it happen because the user interface is too difficult. To study a design's utility, you can use the same user research methods that improve usability.Definition: Utility = whether it provides the features you need.Definition: Usability = how easy & pleasant these features are to use.Definition: Useful = usability + utility.Even using these basic principles, it is easy to see the reasons that Ctrl/Cmd-F should be put back into the product. Measure how long it takes users to find music on a long playlist or long search results page without Ctrl/Cmd-F. And then measure with it. The only failures with the original design of find/filter were (a) that it was less discoverable than it should be in the GUI, i.e. no GUI icon cue and (b) it didn't filter/find using substrings very well or at all. It pains me be a customer of a company where the original wisdom of the people who built the UI of the v0.8.5 client (and previous versions) has apparently been flushed down the drain.

    In the Properties dialog box, click Filter and
    then select ‘Edit…’. You will be> able
    to see the Filter type and Filter data in the Filter dialog box.

  • How can i extend the filter function to also include an option to select which column to filter on?

    Hi.
    I have built an spry test-page (testing it on my localhost  so i cannot give you direct access to it) here i have an XML file that i show in an dynamic/ repeat table with 5 columns.
    I hvae included an spry filter function to easy filter out records, but the code only allows me to filter on one of the columns.
    I would like to add an extra "select-menu" to define which column the filter should be active for, how can i do that
    Here is the filter code and also the html code for the select-menu and the box to type in what to filter.
    The bold parts is the important parts, i would like the options values from the select menu to be inserted in the filterData function to be able to define which column to do the filtering on.
    var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("report3.xml", "orders/order", {sortOnLoad: "@id", sortOrderOnLoad: "descending"});
    ds1.setColumnType("date", "date");
    ds1.setColumnType("BUTIKNR", "number");
    ds1.setColumnType("EXTRAFRAKT", "number");
    ds1.setColumnType("job/@idx", "number");
    var jobs = new Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet(ds1, "job");
    function FilterData()
        var tf = document.getElementById("filterTF");
        var menu = document.getElementById("searchIdent");
        if (!tf.value)
            // If the text field is empty, remove any filter
            // that is set on the data set.
            ds1.filter(null);
            return;
        // Set a filter on the data set that matches any row
        // that begins with the string in the text field.
        var regExpStr = tf.value;
        if (!document.getElementById("containsCB").checked)
            regExpStr = "^" + regExpStr;
        var regExp = new RegExp(regExpStr, "i");
        var filterFunc = function(ds, row, rowNumber)
            var str = row["@id"];
            if (str && str.search(regExp) != -1)
                return row;
            return null;
        ds1.filter(filterFunc);
    function StartFilterTimer()
        if (StartFilterTimer.timerID)
            clearTimeout(StartFilterTimer.timerID);
        StartFilterTimer.timerID = setTimeout(function() { StartFilterTimer.timerID = null; FilterData(); }, 100);
    html:
                <select name="searchIdent" size="1" id="searchIdent">
                    <option value="@id" selected="selected">ID</option>
                    <option value="date">DATUM</option>
                    <option value="time">TID</option>
                    <option value="BUTIKNR">BUTIK</option>
                    <option value="REF">REFERENS</option>
                  </select>
              <input type="text" id="filterTF" onkeyup="StartFilterTimer();" />
    Contains:
      <input type="checkbox" id="containsCB" /></td>
    Thanks in advance.
    //Rickard H

    Now it works, i had to do it like this:
        var filterFunc = function(ds, row, rowNumber)
            var str = row["@id"];
            if (str && str.search(regExp) != -1)
                return row;
            var str1 = row["date"];
            if (str1 && str1.search(regExp) != -1)
                return row;
            var str2 = row["time"];
            if (str2 && str2.search(regExp) != -1)
                return row;
            var str3 = row["BUTIKNR"];
            if (str3 && str3.search(regExp) != -1)
                return row;
            var str4 = row["REF"];
            if (str4 && str4.search(regExp) != -1)
                return row;
            return null;
    I also had to remove the line "ds1.setColumnType("BUTIKNR", "number");" from the code, otherwise it would not search at all (only searches string types?).

  • Fatal Error: The schema version of the database is from a newer version of WSUS

    Hello,
    CM2012 R2 RTM on Server2012 R2 RTM with SQL2012 SP1
    installed SQL, WSUS and then CM.
    When finished adding WSUS, there was a post installation message but I skipped it and continued to CM installation, as suggested on some blogs. WSUS in CM seems to be a real mystery... and there are multiple workarounds and suggestions. 
    Now my CM is ready to GO. Configured discovery, boundaries. All components appear green OK. My hand shaked when I click on post Deployment message related to WSUS in server manager. So I clicked it. And received: Post Deployment Failed. There is
    a path to log file. The error:
    Fatal Error: The schema version of the database is from a newer version of WSUS
    than currently installed.  You must either patch your WSUS server to at least
    that version or drop the database. WSUS was installed with SQL DB.
    What do you suggest?
    Thanks.

    Gerry,
    1. I uninstalled WSUS, removed DB, restarted. And reinstall WSUS again. This time MS Management Console of WSUS could not be started. I did it after WSUS was added following your blog pix.
    I checked c:\program files\update services, there were couple of missing directories by comparison what was in case when I installed WSUS after SQL but before CM: Tools, Shema, and another A.. something. I saw this issue on NOOB. And people copied these
    directories from previous installation.
    How we can explain this behavior on RTM version?
    Then I uninstalled it again. And give another try... Here I found another interesting thing. Please compare your slide number 5 from your link and attached one. You can see that on Add Roles and Features Wizard page are missing items. Some
    of them were found in next screen of my installation (I am using RTM server) but one API and Power shell  cmdlets were not listed on final screen before start install. May be those are note important...
    I reinstall again... and the MS Management Console fails again. Exactly the same thing that I saw during 2 weeks of trying to make works. Don't see what I can screw up here.
    What about missing directories after reinstalling WSUS. Is that normal? And in IIS there is no WSUS.
    I don't see here any difficult thing, just simple wizard... But it not works. Second CM server.
    What I do wrong here to create a failure of MMC. There is any blog with examples of RTM Server 2012 and CM RTM. All stuff is 2012. So kind of guesses and no precise thing to do...
    Sorry for my cry :). The only solution is to call MS and pay $250 for SUCH a trivial thing that not works.
    Any help? Please see pics. Can you confirm that you have the same or more directories in Update Services
    Thanks.
    API and Power Shell Cmdlets feature missed if compare with yours slides.

  • Where is the search function in the iTunes store in this latest version?

    Hello
    Since downloading the latest version of iTunes, I cannot find the "search" function in the ITunes store, to search for apps, movies, etc.  Can someone please tell me where this is now located? Frustrating and really hate this new version. Why did they change a perfectly decent product?
    Thanks!

    Actually, not on mine.  All there is in the upper right hand corner is a list of my history - but no search function.  Any ideas as to how I can make it appear in the upper right corner?
    Thanks

    Thank you, Michel, for your helpful answer.  I have downloaded SmartCurve and saved the files in C:\program files\adobe\Photoshop elements\plug-ins.  I re-started PhotoShop.  Do I access SmartCurve to adjust curves from within PhotoShop? 
    You can acces it from the menu 'Filters', there is a line called 'Easy.Filter', click it and it shows 'Smartcurve'.
    Separately, can I upgrade my PhotoShop Elements to Photoshop without signing up to the CC 'rental' system of monthly payments?  Sincere thanks,  Ted
    I know that you don't need the CC 'rental' subscription to have Photoshop, but as far as I know, there is no upgrade path from Elements except periodical special offers.

  • I have the latest version of Pages installed, yet there are documents I try to open and the message "you need a newer version of Pages to open this document".  Help?

    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.

  • I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. Now what?

    I keep getting the message You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. but I don't have an update available in app world. I did the update but it doesn't seem to be registering on my macbook pro. Now I can't open any of my documents as I keep getting this message. Now what???

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.

  • About the filter function in OBIEE 11g

    Hi, all.
    when i use the filter function in OBIEE 11g, it turn out a wrong result.
    The operation steps and detail are described as follow:
    1. In the Column Formula pane, I typed the Formula of the column 'count of customer' as:
    FILTER(count(distinct("customer info dimesion"."customerID")) USING ("TradeType Dimesion"."TradeType" = '001'))
    2. But the phisical SQL about this column in the NQquery file is that: "count(distinct(T11520.CUSTOMERID)) as c5, "
    which means that, the filter wasn't applied, right?
    If so, what shall I do in this situation, in other words , how can i make a Condition COUNT?
    Any Suggestion is appreciated!
    Thank you in advance~~O(∩_∩)O~

    Hi katherine,
    FILTER(count(distinct("customer info dimesion"."customerID")) USING ("TradeType Dimesion"."TradeType" = '001'))I think your formula there is mistake like many braces...instead type this in your f(x)
    =>Filter(count(distinct customer_id) USING trade type='001')
    This filter function is same like a case statement,if you filter still gives error write a case statement
    CASE WHEN TradeType Dimesion.TradeType='001' THEN count(distinct customer info dimesion.customerID) ELSE 0 END
    Will it be helpful?,follow this etiquette http://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=939

  • PUT BACK THE MISSING THE SCREEN FUNCTION IN THE PRINT DIALOG BOX!!!!

    Hello all...
    I am a creative director in the screen print (garment industry) for over 20 years.  We have always used PS to directly print and control our halftone screens and angles through the screen function in the print dialog box.  Now it has miraculously disappeared after so many versions previous.
    I emplore Adobe and their team to please update this function back into CS5.
    Although it is a function many might not even understand how to use, it is IMPERATIVE to the screen printer/artist in this industry.
    There are workarounds, of course, but they are much more tedious and time consuming.
    I truly cannot convince enough that we folks in this industry want this function back!!!!!

  • I cannot activate the screen saver. My operating system is Mac OS X version 10.6.8. The screen message says 'Please contact the vendor to get a newer version of the screen saver'

    When I try and activate my screen saver the following message appears
    Please contact the vendor to get a newer version of the screen saver
    My operating system is Mac OS X  version 10.6.8

    To begin with, you have the wrong forum - the iMacs covered by this forum were discontinued in 2005 and are incapable of running OS X 10.6.x
    Try either iMac (Intel) or Snow Leopard forums.
    To get more help, contributors will need to know what screensaver you're trying to use - is it one downloaded from the internet or one of the OS X default set?

  • TS1717 itunes won't start because it says the folder was made in newer version, what should be done?

    itunes won't start because it says the folder was made in newer version, what should be done?

    If you haven't deliberately tried to downgrade iTunes then it is possible the library is corrupt. This approach should work.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
