Hi,
I have been using XYplorer for a month now and loving it. I have question on search/filter on Address Bar and Go to dialog. It may applies to all the dialog.
For example,
I have visited followoing folders.
a/b/c
a/b/xyz
b/a/c
b/b/xyz
c/a/c
c/b/xyz
I can type "c" in address bar which will give me 4 options to choose from. How can I narrow down further to select a directory I am interested in.
is it possible to type "c xyz" or "c+xyz" which will give me only one result or "c a c" which will give me one result?

Re: Fluent Search in Address Bar and Go to.
That might be a case for the "shotgun" approach which is already possible in the Live Filter Box. It works like this: You type
abc
and it is automatically internally converted to *a*b*c*
. Would that help you?FAQ | XY News RSS | XY Twitter

Hi,
a*b*c works on Live Filter but it doesn't work on address bar or Go To dialog. How do I make it work on Address bar?

You can't. It was a question if this would help you, not a: This is currently implemented.

Re: Fluent Search in Address Bar and Go to.
I'll add it to the next version, experimentally as a tweak.

That's neat - I think I see some usecases for that over here

Has this been added to latest version? How do I enable this tweak?

+ Address Bar: Experimentally extended the LiveFilterShotgunPrefix and
LiveFilterIsShotgun tweaks to include Address Bar (and other Dropdowns
with dropdown match list).
- The LiveFilterShotgunPrefix now just work in those Dropdowns, too.
- The LiveFilterIsShotgun (bit field) got a new value:
LiveFilterIsShotgun=1 'shotgun in the main LFB
LiveFilterIsShotgun=2 'shotgun in the small LFBs in dialogs
LiveFilterIsShotgun=4 'shotgun in dropdowns with dropdown match list (NEW)

Re: Fluent Search in Address Bar and Go to.
Apperciate the information, Where is it? I didn't find it in release notes on webpage.
Few questions on Shotgun functionality
I have 2 directories Downloads and Documents. If I type Ds in LiveFilter box, it only matches Downloads and Dn matches nothing. "Ds" should match both directories if it converts to (D*s) internally. D*s works in visual filter since it uses regex.
Another example in address bar,
I have 3 directories,
1) ...\Source\openSource\felix\examples\servicebased.circle\target
2) ...\Source\amp\assembly\target
3) ...\Source\amp\rest\target\
If I type souampr in address bar, I see all 3 options but if I type souamprest, I get 2 results (1 and 3).
Is it possible to enable regex in address bar? with regex, I should be able to say Source*amp*rest or amp*rest.
It is better to have one unified filtering scheme everywhere including ability to use regex.
Thanks
