Yeah, that sounds like quite indispensable.
XY's "Visual Filter" is in fact a file find under the hood: the data are filtered at browsing time rather than at showing time. This would be too slow for a "Find as you type filter box". So I would have to rewrite my VF for this... (should have done it the right way in the first place ). I'll insert that into the roadmap...
Does this mean that when you do this, applying the VF to a search will be near instant?
Used to update to the latest beta every day. Now I have children instead… Windows 10 Pro x64 (everywhere except phone…)
The quick filter thing you're talking about, does it wrk the same way as the one in Thunderbird? If so, I'd love to see that in XY, that would seriously rock
If you were to enable regex in it and have a "new tab" "go" button at the side of it as well, that would be the sherry on the cake

Yep.
But, I maybe was too quick. XY's VFs have the nice property to stick to their tabs. They are in fact properties of tabs.
The filter-as-you-type box should be rather a global thing, I think. So it would in fact be another layer of filtering! ( or ... don't know yet).
But whatever it will be, it will be extremely fast!
Another example of find-as-you-type, I believe, is the Google toolbar that brings up a list of matching sites as you type each letter...and yes, that ability would make XY even tha much better...but...what about the overhead to do so? As it might mean repeated scanning of drives...Given that files may be added/removed/renamed by other appl while XY is running, how might that affect that possible faeture...just wondering...
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.
