Thank you! Your request has been added to our to-do list.
Currently fonts from Library and My Collections appear in search results, and there is no option to choose the desired source (Library and/or My Collections).

Unfortunately, search by Keywords, Categories, and Rating (tabs in the Search view) is independent.

We cannot reproduce this in the latest FontExpert 2018. Can you please send a screenshot with unsorted group items in Add to Group... window to support(at)proximasoftware.com? Which version of FontExpert you use (please see in Help/About... window)?

Unfortunately, users cannot guarantee to FontExpert that they always will keep font collection on a fast drive. User collections can be on a flash disk or on a network drive. Another reason is that user folders are considered a place where user other software can change folders and fonts. So the fol...

We have found that this may happen because the file size exceeded ~ 1.2 GB and the information file (backup.inf) was not added to backup ZIP file. We work on this issue. To recover the backup ZIP: (1) Make sure the backup ZIP includes backup.inf file in the root. If your ZIP file does not include ba...

To Carl: "not showing all fonts in subfolder" But My Collections node allows you to view all fonts in selected folder and in nested subfolders. Make sure the option "Include Fonts within Subfolders" is ON. (In context menu. By default the option is ON.) Add all root folders of your font collections ...

1. Setup does not automatically move old library to new location. We suggest migration from previous version to new version 15.0 using Backup/Restore feature. In this case you copy LIB folder and other information to backup ZIP file, and then restore it in the new version in new location. If you had...

Thank you for suggestions. We will use them for other enhancements. Groups contain font links to real font files in Library. So Groups and Library are used always together. If you add a font to group, it is added to Library. My Collections are the user's folders. Collection could contain a folder wh...

We plan to provide more convenient control on search scope in the following release. FontExpert considers folders in My Collections as user's master folders with originsl files. So user is responsible for these folders. Fonts located in collection folders are displayed in the Main view as having add...

I understand. The duplication of search results occurs because FontExpert includes two files to results - the original file located in My Collections and the file in Library/Groups. But you can easily recognise original files located in My Collections by special additional icon with a picture of Use...

1) FontExpert determines folder path within LIB based on font properties (for example, SE subfolder name stands for Serif, then goes the first letter of family name, then family name, then file name). We consider path within LIB as internal implementation of the Library and database. It is easy to d...

Thank you for reporting, this is an issue. Categories in Search view should be sorted, but they are not. We will fix it in the following release.

We recommend you the following steps for migration from one of previous versions to the latest version of FontExpert: 1. Create full backup in your older version of FontExpert: Choose Tools/Create Backup... menu command. The backup feature creates a backup ZIP file, for example, FontExpertBackup2018...

The checkboxes are displayed depending on the option - Tools, Options, Main view, Show check boxes. I have incorrectly said that this feature was cancelled long time ago. Actually we have removed these check boxes in the new version 15 (which should be officially released soon). If you need to "reme...

Fonts view the view with Groups and Library nodes, and the Main view is the view with font previews. There were never check marks in the Fonts view, and we have removed check marks in the Main view long time ago. To keep a temporary set of fonts displayed in the Main view we suggest using Add to Wor...
