Q regarding "Branch view (only Folders)" and "Go to Focused Item"

Post by Borut »

I am (re)organizing thousands of photos positioned in a deep structure containing many hundreds of folders on at least three depth levels (some 24 years of photos). While doing that I have noticed the following (which I think is by no means new - it is just that I have been using this more often lately)...
1. I fill the Live Filter Box with a string I search for
2. Then I activate Branch View / Only folders
3. After all are found (for instance, in my case 4 out of hundreds), I right click on each one and select "Go to Focused Item in New Tab"

At that moment it seems as if a new scanning of the whole structure is taking place (as noticeable in the status line). It is only when this is over that subdirectory (with its siblings on the same level) are shown in the new tab, as expected.

I would not expect that that "rescanning" is necessary. (But maybe it really is because of some other possible circumstances, which I did not think about.) In case it is not necessary, maybe it would be possible to eliminate that step easily.

Agreed. I think I could improve it. Check out the next beta.

Wow! Implemented just three hours after wishing it. :tup: I think that many years ago I once received it in only some 20 minutes, so this is probably not a record, but it is WOOOOW! Many thanks - it makes a huge difference now! :appl: :tup: :appl: (Even the BranchView&LiveFilter combination itself seemed to be faster now, but that is maybe due to Windows cache, or the like.)
