jump to number on main database

Hi Evilhero,
Please bare with me as I try to explain this. My wanted list was over 1000 files. yeesh. So finally I decided I was going to find the files and or remove the ones that aren't scanned. After using some torrents (boo hate them) and a few websites which were handy, but some altered the files (TTH) I rediscovered dc++. After fixing the shares that had been altered thanks to, likely, the websites and some torrents I was able to find many of the missing books on dc++ and was able to get my wanted list down to 381 files. Took several days... or more I forget, anyways,
On the main database page. I'd sort by comic name, and then go through it alphabetically. I'd work for a few hours and then quit on say page 43. Now next time I come back to begin again, I'd have to hit the numbers until I got to page 42 again.
A couple things:
a) A jump to page ____ . So all I do is put in 42 and boop I'm there.
b) the table alters in size based on length of company name or comic name so a couple times I accidentally hit the restart mylar button underneath the numbers, which was funny the first time, not so much after that.
The table altering in size wouldn't be a big deal if I can just go to whichever page I needed to get to.
There may be smarter ways to clean up the collection, but I just went through which ever series was missing files I searched for them. Visually for me this is the easiest way for my brain to work with finding missing files.
Something to think about I suppose. My collection spans over 106 pages. So it was a bit taxing when I accidentally closed the database page I was working on and had to go through the numbers again being careful not to hit reset... and incidentally when going from z backwards you can accidentally hit shutdown mylar.
