Global Visual Filter question - disabling

[klownboy]

Don the GVF addition along with Ghost (I always liked Ghost terminology back from the great imaging software from Norton that used to be - now you need to buy SSR- Symantec System Recovery). Anyway I applied the example you provided in the beta notes filter filter "+ageM: <= 7 d", 2; and it's great but how can you quickly disable it. I know from your notes I can use filter "", 2; to remove the GVF, but it would be nice if you could visually see that the filter is applied via the Visual Filter button and quickly click on it to disable the filter. I know I could set up some script to do it but something on the toolbar to disable it would be better as you can with other filters. Thanks.

As an add-on question, could we also get a new SC get function to determine the state of GVF as you did with Ghost?

Sorry Don, I just noticed you said in the beta notes a TB button will be added later which would obviously take care of disabling the GVF. A get state for the GVF as you have for Ghost would be nice though.

Next version it will oblige to "Toggle on same filter".

The rest will come...

Thanks Don, the new "get" state for GVF makes it easy to toggle the filter. I'll have to make a quick and dirty menu for Global filter selections, but if I set up a menu I should use flag 2 + 4 so that I can go directly to a new filter from an existing filter without toggling. But for now and simply toggling...

Code: Select all

  if get("gvf") {filter , 2;}
  else {filter "+ageM: <= 24 h", 6;}

But instead of that I can use this, and it will toggle the existing filter on and off...nice!

Code: Select all

filter "+ageM: <= 24 h", 2

Thanks,
Ken

Tip: In v15.50.0207 you need to change "+" to "nec:".

[klownboy]

Yes, thanks Don. I noticed that in the beta notes.

Thought so. I added the tip for future generations that might stumble upon this thread.
