Thanks for replying Peter.
I don't think you understand me.

I'm using BIAB 2011.
I can't type '8' there is a dropdown. I must select either 8th or 16th.

I can't type Ev. There is a dropdown. I must select either Even or Swing.

If I type 120 I still get nothing found!

If I type 'Pop' I get a list of ALL the styles, not pop!

You should make sure that you are looking in the style category called "all"

Are you saying that BIAB won't allow you to filter a selected category??? Huh?

I started by selecting RealTrack styles.

Then I tried to apply various filters (always one at a time).
None of them worked.

Filters can be applied to any category.

The filters worked fine with version 2011 as I recall. Perhaps you have set an impossible filter, so the first step would be to revert to default settings, so that you do see all of the styles, and then add a filter.

Hi BIABGuy

I think this is what Peter means ("2 Type ev" for filtering by Even example shown):

Thanks Peter.
I don't know what is wrong.
I have reverted to default settings.
Then I added a 'possible filter', Swing/Even = Even.
Nothing shows up!!!

Before I apply a filter I have 2788 total styles showing, at the left (top).
Interestingly, in the filter pop-up, at the top it says Total Styles = 7844.

Thanks VT for your snapshot instructions.
I tried them but after I applied a filter for '2 Type ev', nothing showed up in the filter!
In my case BIAB 2011, I have to choose between Swing and Even.

Do you really think that will make the difference?

It isn't listed as an issue that was known or fixed in 319, but it would be worth a try.

Hi BIABguy

Presumably you've done a rebuild, and presumably these styles all exist in your bb folder??

Thanks VT!
It worked!

I was going to do a re-build as one of my previous attempts at trouble-shooting this, but the pop up said it should be done when new styles are added etc.
Since I didn't add any new styles I didn't go through with it.

Now I can actually do multiple filters!
Hurray! smile

One problem down....
