New visual aid for active folder view

Post by LittleBiG »

May I ask for a small blue letter F on the tab folder icon to show if that folder has an active folder view? Quite similarly to the small filter icon? It would be a very good visual aid without the need of the FVS toolbar button. Additionally I like the Name Search and Visual Filter information bar. So I can imagine a FVS info bar also as an alternative.

I read a clear and straight 'Yes', right? :kidding:

Seriously, what problems do you see?

Countless. This is a clear no. Got to move forward to other stuff, now, sorry.

Yes, you are right. That's why I mentioned the info bar instead. The collision (VF and NS) is handled correctly there already. And, by the way, VF and NS has many kind of visual aid. Ok, ok, I understand what "No" means.

Ps. I also don't understand the countless problems. It would haven been the button tooltip text in the warning bar, without any menu.
