+1 In Koo that "advanced search" is available only if the user clicks on a button so non-advanced users do not get confused by this feature. In our experience it's even necessary in many scenarious. Many of our customers make extensive use of Koo's advanced search which not only lets them search by any field of the current model but also one level beyond on many2one fields. That has avoided numerous developments to our customers. Even going some steps futher given tryton's improved dot notation would be great. Just today a customer needed execute an action on production lots of all products that were in the categories that had a flag we added to them. They couldn't do it but it would have been very useful for them. That doesn't happen every day but similar things happen very frequently. The thing is how shoud that interface look like or if that column should be automatically added so it is more intuitive for user or something like that. -- Albert Cervera i Areny http://www.NaN-tic.com Tel: +34 93 553 18 03 http://twitter.com/albertnan http://www.nan-tic.com/blog -- [email protected] mailing list
