Hi Don,

8 = On reverse direction (target > source) also reverse any filters (means: apply them to the target instead of to the source)

I think that would do the job, define an overall ignore pattern for copy and delete operations.

Thanks, Don.

So, should it be controlled by this new flag:
8 = On reverse direction (target > source) also reverse any filters

or just work when the "r" switch is passed?

(I'd say the latter.)

It seems I'm confused as I thought the new SyncFilterGlobal already provides the implementation.

I have no real personal preference but would opt for the more obvious (less support causing) way. This would point to the
8 = On reverse direction ... approach. Maybe some others have diffenerent prefs.

The new global snyc filter overrules any filter in a SC sync call, right?

No, it does not overrule, it is added to the filter you pass via parameter.

As for the reverse filter request, I have to decline it for now. Just no time to think through all the consequences.

OK. Lack of time is something I'm surely an expert in.

hi, sorry to bring this back again, through the time that has passed, I haven't been able to open this search dialog on any computer on which I've used even freshly installed XY (total count 4 computers ranging winxp, win10, win11).

On some of the text dialogues ctrl+F works but on most of them it does not. Specifically Sync Folders (Full report), Custom Copy (Full report) etc.. It works in Text Previewer for example (so I at least know how it looks )
It would really be convenient to have text search on any "report" related dialogues.

Hm, cannot explain. Works fine here.

Like you can have Find dialogue opened as in screenshot?
Nothing happens when I hit ctrl+f here

could it be like language specific, keyboard layout thing? I've seen it in other programs. But here it does not work even with ENG layout.

Hm, looks like it does not work with background operations. Could you check with a foreground operation (see Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Background Processing | Enable background processing)?

aha!!
yep, that's it. With foreground operation it does display Find Text.

Unfortunately, the Find dialog will not work for background operations for now.

ok, no problem, at least it works for foreground so I can switch to it when I need to.
Thanks!
