Live Filter for List
Live Filter for List
I just discovered that Live Filter for List was postponed in your roadmap, once more, after MOBU this time.
I am waiting for Live Filter for List since so long...
Please, please, it would be so handy to have that feature.
Thanks anyway.

Re: Live Filter for List
Oh, very attentive!
The thing with MOBU is that I myself got so spoiled by google's mouseover blow up (did they steal that from XY's MDBU?) that I just have to have this in XY.
Live Filter is also a feature that will probably take very long to ripen because LOTS of code changes are involved.

Re: Live Filter for List
Another vote for live filter.
This is so useful that i now occasionally go back to using DOpus just to use it
Would much rather have it in XY

Re: Live Filter for List
Just being curious: Where would you expect a live filter box in the UI? (I think about adding it to the left end of the statusbar, just like the filter boxes in other list dialogs of XY.)

Re: Live Filter for List
Yes, to the left end of the statusbar is good for me.
But give it a keyboard shortcut (as in TotalCommander) please.
And possible to apply it in (multiple) branch view.
Exciting feature in approach...

Re: Live Filter for List
I would have said to the right of the address bar as a personal preference - but that clashes with the tool bar in XY...
So actually to the left of the status bar would work for me also

I'd quite honestly prefer it just re-use the address bar.admin wrote:Just being curious: Where would you expect a live filter box in the UI? (I think about adding it to the left end of the statusbar, just like the filter boxes in other list dialogs of XY.)
I really believe this shouldn't be a separate feature but rather an enhancement to how visual filters work.
Re: Live Filter for List
I think i vote for address bar too.
Just let the "|" symbol filter the list in real time, live.

Re: Live Filter for List
Certainly no objections to extending current filter syntax in the address bar.
But I think it would be useful to have a separate control for live filter - it's something I would use often enough to justify the use of space on the status bar (sure Don would make the status bar control optional anyway )

Re: Live Filter for List
The Live Filter will live independently of the Visual Filter. Sure there is some overlap in functionality/use, but technically they will be different things, and it's easy to imagine situations where you want to apply a live filter on top of a visually filtered list.

Re: Live Filter for List
At which point the user would modify the existing filter - seems silly to have filters upon filters upon filters. I see absolutely zero sense in keeping them separate, nor do I see a reason why the technical side of things should be all that different. After all, a live filter is just a visual filter that is applied and updated as it is being typed.admin wrote:The Live Filter will live independently of the Visual Filter.

If not the address bar my preference goes to doing something like Chrome/Firefox where it's not always visible but available on demand as an overlay or new toolbar.
The status bar already feels too crowded to me.
It's a shame we can't have a true bar and docking manager that would allow all these things to actually be customizable beyond the visibility boolean.
Re: Live Filter for List
I totally agree. It is nice to see a large list reducing until have only the files matching some string.admin wrote:The Live Filter will live independently of the Visual Filter.

For my needs, it is not the same feature than VF.

Re: Live Filter for List
I might add a hideable bar at the bottom of each list (= each pane), similar to Firefox's "find bar" (or whatever it's called).jjk wrote:+1 also.TheQwerty wrote:my preference goes to doing something like Chrome/Firefox where it's not always visible but available on demand as an overlay or new toolbar.

Re: Live Filter for List
Agree - hideable bar sounds like a neat solution
