Thank you so much, this is amazing! When there are no records found, I get the message that I have an empty database which I do not (see image). Otherwise, works great!

@erazlogo: I'm not seeing that. Are you seeing that in Troubleshooting Mode? How are you reproducing it?

@dstillman The same in troubleshooting mode. Debug ID D308356251.

P.S. Sorry for not starting a new discussion, when it was requested in the original announcement!

Looks like it happens when the database has no group libraries. We’ll fix — thanks.
