Several structural changes to the CLZ Cloud syncing, making it much much faster than before, especially when syncing large amounts of entries up or down.

version 5.3.1

Feb 14, 2020 Version 5.3.1
New:
- Quick-search your folders
This update introduces a new search box right above the folder panel, that lets you instantly search/filter the folder panel as you type! Just typing a few letters is often enough to bring the folder you are looking for into view
- Sort your folders by count
By default, the folders are sorted alphabetically. But as of today, there is another option: sort your folders by the counter, that is by the number of movies contained.
Sorting by the counters is a nice way to find the most important Formats, Actor, Directors, etc..
- Now uses our brand-new CLZ Cloud Sync server
Previously one big server was handling the Connect website, the CLZ Cloud website AND the CLZ Cloud syncing from the desktop programs and the mobile apps.
But this week we have set up a brand-new dedicated Sync-server to handle just the CLZ Cloud syncing.

Fixed:
- Field Defaults: It wasn't possible to set the rating field back to zero.
- Manage Pick Lists: Merging list items caused too many sync changes.
