Live filter don't filter folders anymore

Post by peterbonge »

If I start typing matches are highlighted on folders as usual, but folders without any matches don't disappear anymore.

It sounds like maybe you don't have this enabled:

Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Type Ahead Find | Redirect typing to Live Filter Box

You might be in a Branch View and this is ticked: Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Branch View | Let folders pass all filters

OK, yes, it was a setting, but it was:
Configuration | Find and Filter | Filters & Type Ahead Find | Visual Filters | Apply to files only

This was enabled, but I don't remember when and why I've enabled it.
Maybe the live filters should get a separate option for this?

These settings currently apply to both Visual Filters and Live Filters:
- Apply to files only
- Match case
- Ignore diacritics

I think it makes some sense to synchronize their behavior to some extent. But I can also see your point. Hard to decide...

OK, but if you leave it that way these three options should also be available in the context menu of the live filter box. And in the configuration it should be clear that these three options are shared, maybe with an own section.
