more items mean longer loading time, but more items available right away.

Release v2.0.4.1

- fixed several bugs in "All" search provider, causing issues with filtering items, displaying too few results,
and resulting in auto downloader not always working properly

- better Tab configuration page (listview)
- allow '/' in friendly name (download dialog) for setting passwords
- failed download check improved (auto downloader)
Release v2.0.3.4
- Auto Downloader: now using the "All" provider implementation, as NzbIndex.nl started to miss a lot.
- Auto Downloader: NzbMatrix.com not used when using non-alfa-numeric chars in search, because it'll return weird results

- fixed column sorting on "All" provider

Release v2.0.3.1

- Added "Search All Providers" searcher page. This page will search all enabled providers, returning only a limited amount of items.
- other small bug fixes
Release v2.0.2.0
- Added complete IMDB "My Movies" integration! (on search tabs)
For this to work correctly, in the main page of your "My Movies" (on IMDB), go to "Change display options",
then enable "Show -> All Titles", otherwise only the first X amount will be shown in NzbSearcher.
- Minor bugs fixed
Release v2.0.1.5
- Auto Downloader now has option to put in a regular expression result filter.
This is useful when normal search would give too many (and unreliable) results.
ie. for the series '24', you could add result filter: 24.S%SE%E
in this example, the item must have '24' then any single char, then S01E01 (or whatever episode is looked up)
Same goes for Fairy Tail, which doesn't has a season number, which could look like this: Fairy Tail[ -0]*%E
remember, a space in the regular expression syntax really is a space.
- NzbSearcher can now open NZB files directly (local) and pass them on to SAB. (so it's now a file opener too)
this only works correctly at the moment when NzbSearcher is already running in the background.
- several bugs and annoyances fixed
- Search toolbar can now optionally be static on the dialog again (so not actually in a toolbar anymore)
as it was previously before version 2.0. this can be toggled in the config dialog.
I've added this option, cause I've noticed that the new toolbar-mode gave focus issues.
Release v2.0.1.3
- Fixed bug which prevented NzbSearcher to startup in specific cases
Release v2.0.1.2
- Toolbar locations restored on program restart (only on top docking positions though)
- Multi selection of NZB's now downloading as a single item (works on all search providers)
- SABnzbd queueu control now has "Move to Top" and "Move to Bottom" buttons (also works with multi-select, just like normal move)
- Speed limiter of SABnzbd now visible and directly controllable from NzbSearcher
Release v2.0.0.0:
- Better GUI layout, draggable toolbars
- Better organized configuration storage (WARNING: makes V2 incompatible with V1, make sure you remember your settings)
- Automatic downloaded articles now includes titles with friendly name (%T now works)
- NZB.su search support (not fully completed, but workable)
- Enable/disable tabs, any search engine (or other tab) can be hidden.
- Auto Downloader much better, will confirm with SABnzbd if article downloaded and extracted, before moving on to next episode.
- Auto Downloader has now options to check for next episode and season when unable to find current one.
- Optionally downloading NZB, then uploading it to SABnzbd.
The "Auto Downloader" always uses this option, as it is better able to tell what's happening,
except of course when configured to store to a directory or open with a program, in that case,
as soon as the NZB is downloaded, it will mark the episode as "done" and moves on to the next.
- Optionally save files to a location, instead of passing them to SABnzbd
- Optionally open a program with the saved NZB file as parameter
- Optionally disable SABnzbd integration entirely (when hiding SABnzbd's tab)
- SABnzbd icon will blink when downloading. Yellow only is passive state.
- Red SABnzbd icon state means there's a failure with downloading, so you can check out the message on the SABnzbd screen.
- Icons made higher resolution
- added crash report system, whenever NzbSearcher crashes, it can now make a report, so that I can help you fix your problem.
- added config incompatibility warning
- lots and lots of small improvements and fixes
Release v1.2.2.0
- Added YabSearch.com search support
No proper NFO support yet, but that'll be implemented soon-ish.
Release v1.2.0.0
- Added NzbMatrix search support.
Be sure to fill in NzbMatrix details in config dialog, and also in SABnzbd's config!
Need to have VIP access for this, is a one time fee of $10 i believe.
Due to incomplete API, NFO files can't be viewed. Working on solution.
Due to incomplete API, results can't be sorted. can't be helped. you can select a sorting method in your NzbMatrix profile.
NzbMatrix is using HTTPS for a secure connection
- Added colors to Auto Downloader (same as favorites, green en red colored for 6-8 and 8-15 days)
- Added availability column (mainly useful with NzbIndex.nl for now)
- Fixed flickering when minized into tray (when SABnzbd was downloading)
- Fixed add to queue SABcat change, when going back from add to queue dialog, category is passed along back to search dialog
- Fixed selection issue when opening NFO screen with focus
Release v1.1.3.2
- Added toggle button to show/hide NFO file contents from NZB files (shows whenever info is available)
- Added NFO link in context menu, opens in notepad (also with Ctrl+F11)
- Added IMDB access in context menu, opens in external browser (also with Ctrl+F10)
when NFO is available for current selected, it'll download that first, check if there's a IMDB link in it,
if so, it'll use that to directly jump to the correct page. Otherwise, It'll ask you to alter the title to search for.
- Downloaded history (SABnzbd tab) can now be double clicked, it opens the storage location
- Question if you really want to quit when you have configured any automatic downloads,
now only pops up when you have enabled NzbSearcher to sit in system tray.
- some other small stuff I can't think of right now.
Release v1.1.1.1
- Added speed indication
- Added space indication
- added about-box with link to website
- result filter fixed to work with minus (ie. -german will only show nzb's without german in it)

- bugs fixed
- other stuff I can't remember
Release v1.1.0.1

Release v1.1.0.0
- BIG addition: automatic episode downloader
- App can now sit in the system tray (enable this in the config dialog)

Release v1.0.6.6
- Bug fix release
Release v1.0.6.4
- Added version checking, user will be notified if new version is released
- Download size can now be displayed in KB. this is optional (turn on in config dialog)
- Added favorite colored star. This star is an indicator of when last download took place.
When green, the favorite hasn't downloaded an article for 6 to 8 days
When red, nothing has been downloaded for 8 to 15 days
No star means either less then 6 days or more then 15 days,
in which case user can pay less attention to it.
Ofcorse the timestamp of the article is used (not the actual time of the download)
This addition is most useful for weekly recurring downloads (series for example)
Release v1.0.5.4
- Added SABnzbd download history.
This is done intelligently, so that the history isn't refreshed every single second.
So when you also use other programs with SABnzbd, the history might get out of date.
Release v1.0.4.4

- Added IMDB button in "Add to Queue" dialog. (will be moved somewhere else in future)
- bug fixes
Release v1.0.3.4
- Fixed sorting issue when not filtering a list
Release v1.0.3.3
- Added splash screen
- Added result filter
- Added on the fly loading of more articles.
When you scroll down, more articles are fetched on the fly, when more is available.
this only works when list is not filtered by the "result filter".
This will be done with 25 items at a time.
Most usually, when you search, 50 or 75 items are loaded, because more then 25 items fit on the screen.
With this addition, true browsing of specific groups is possible!
(to do this, sort by age first, then specify the groups you want to browse, then do an empty search)
