Amazon Lookup fails with German 'ö ä ü'

[P. Master]

1. If I search for Titles with 'ä ö ü' in German Words, Amazon did not find anything. If I change to 'ae oe ue' it works - but this is too much work
2. It would also be helpful to delete a downloaded info (except title author) with on click - sometimes if I update more then one book it takes the first result that does not match in any way with this book.
3. If I click on the stars for rating I can't take back (one star is always on then)

Thanks for the good work - like your program. I does most of all I want to do!

Thank you for the feedback.

1. Could you give me some examples? I tired "Über" and "Dächern" and got results. If it fails also please take a look at your console log as DVDpedia would report any issues with the search to the log.
2. There is undo support, but this wouldn't help your case as it would undo the entire operation on the selection. Thank you for the suggestion. In the meantime remember that the gear button in the edit window can also be used to update a record and that will give you the option of selecting the correct result.
3. You should be able to click on the very far left (the left tip of the first star) to set no stars. This should be possible in both the edit window and the table view.

Example:
Der Zug war pünktlich
Böll, Heinrich
..nothing
Der Zug war puenktlich
Boell, Heinrich
..got result from Amazon.de

The thing with the stars works - thanks.

Thank you for the details. Could you please download the beta version and try these two searches "Der Zug war pünktlich" and "Böll, Heinrich". If they fail please send me the output from the console log (the beta will print out the actual request URL, so that I can check it against the one I have here, to find out what might be wrong with the signature).

Sorry it does not work:

Thank you for the output from the beta. The information I was missing is that you where using the gear button or the get more info on an existing entry and not a new search from the find window. Please download the beta and test it out, it should be working now. Thank you for the bug report.

[P. Master]

Thank you for your work - äüö works well.

But there is also a problem with '

e.g.
Dante's Peak

Thank you for the update. Fixed in the beta.

Thanks very much - had a quick check and it works.
