Quick name search behaviour

Post by jcmn »

Hello

When I installed the first version with Quick name search, the results were opened in a new tab. Now, after the two last versions it opens the results in the same tab. What's changed? How can I force XYPlorer to open the results in a new tab?

v10.90.0412 - 2012-04-21 14:00
* Quick Name Search: Now the search results of a QNS are always
displayed in the current tab, irrespective of "Configuration |
Find Files | Show search results in".
So, atm you can't show them in a different tab.

Btw Don, I find that annoying as well. I have a locked tab as my first tab in a pane
and replacing it with a quick search result is... §$%&""§$%!

At least there should be a toggle to clear the filter. Now what I have to do is to go to the upper level and reopen the folder where I was.

That it happens on a locked tab is a bug.

Concerning unlocked tabs. Well, I'm open for discussion. I changed it in v10.90.0412 - 2012-04-21 14:00 because I thought it more natural to run the quick search in the current tab. Wrong thinking? (Please don't tell me to make it configurable. I want a decision, not an option.)

Please see http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8081

Is F5 good enough for you, or are you in favor of a special command "Back to Browse"?

It is good enough.

Unfortunately, i think it may need to be a uesr choice as some will like this way and some will hate it...for me, I always expect any/all search results to only use the one "search results" tab I have per pane...If I didn't want that, then I'd not have set Config to such...and thus, that Config option shouldn't be limited to having only certain types of searches respect it.
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.

I agree to the latter and will change it back.
