Quick Search without System Folder

Post by Helmex »

I want to use Quick Search to only search in the visible folders.
If I hide system folders, the search should be without these folders.
Thanks

I added a switch:

Code: Select all

    + Find Files and Quick Search: Added switch /V by which only visible subfolders of the 
      search location are traversed recursively, i.e. subfolders with the HIDDEN attribute 
      are not searched IF "Configuration | General | Tree and List | Items in Tree and 
      List | Show hidden files and folders" is OFF.
I wonder if this would be a useful setting for some users?
Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Also search invisible subfolders or Skip invisible subfolders or Search only visible subfolders

I usually search the user completely.
In this case the AppData folder with its many files is included.
Thank you for the switch!

I don't know if it was this change, or maybe the "Persist quick search across folders" change, but anyway, it looks like most QS switches are now broken in .0310, unless the single letter /f etc switches are included, for example:

Code: Select all

 text quicksearch("/types=ini", <xypath>);    // no work
 text quicksearch("/types=ini /f", <xypath>); // work
Another thing I noticed, that I will bring up here too, using fresh enter %TEMP%;<xypath>? /fn in AB, now switch to another tab and back, you'll get an error.

I am also noticing other issues like multi loc quicksearch tabs being blank when switching to them (under certain conditions), I haven't got repro steps yet, although it is probz related to above mentioned issues.

Next beta will have general setting "Skip invisible subfolders", so don't have to think about the switch.

I am still having issues in .0313, the previously mentioned things are fixed, but that last one that I couldn't get repro steps for seems to have changed behavior, instead of blank tab, I am getting only the first path of a multi loc searched when switching from and back to a QS tab. I can't repro in fresh so it must be some constellation of settings, I'll keep trying to narrow it down.

Ok eventually got repro steps, it has to be real paths not variables, doh!, and the separator has to be |, eg c:\test|c:\temp? /fn swap tabs, and then only first path is shown in AB, and the path column is blank/altered.

Also sometimes I now get it loading a different cached QS when tab switching than the one that was in that tab previously, AB path doesn't match pane contents, and when that happens the path column displays non existent relative paths (chars trimmed from the front).

So you still have this? And I still cannot reproduce it. But I'm quite sure it's not related to the above.

I am still having issues with QS in my normal config in .0314, somehow QS cache has wrong data because it loads blank tab when switching, can't repeat in fresh of course. Not sure how you tie the QS cache to each tab/location, but it seems to me like when you do a multi loc QS where it *thinks* it is in This PC /M, then (under certain conditions) when switching tabs it gets confused because no search results for that location are cached so returns 0 items. Or another way the issue presents itself is if you do a multi loc search then change your QS to just the first location, and then tab switch you still get the cached QS of both locations when you come back to the tab, but now the path column is blank for all items, AB has correct QS term though, and just pressing enter in AB re-runs correct QS.
I have disabled cache as a workaround, but not ideal.

Could it also be related to a stale cache?

Maybe, I'm switching tabs as well (between two different quick searches)...
