Quicksearch doesn't work in a custom column?

[highend]

Unsure if it's a bug or by design (because it can block XY)...

- Go into a folder that contains at least one subfolder with one file in it
- Create a custom column
- Make sure that "Item type" is set to "Folders" or "Files and Folders"
- Use a one-liner script

Code: Select all

return quicksearch("/nf", <cc_item>, "|");

It should return the file inside that subfolder or a "|" separated list if there is more than one file

But it doesn't return anything. So, is it by design that quicksearch won't work in a custom column?

Does not work at all as "Browse" trigger.
Works after a manual refresh with "List". (Not visible initially when navigating to a folder.)
Works on press with "Click".

SC quicksearch() is a non-GUI search. Trying to embed it into the GUI within a custom column is looking for trouble.

Anyway, I think I could make it work experimentally (all triggers). Next beta...

Ah, ok, thanks. Didn't see I got replies in this thread *sigh*

I will do some tests with larger folder structures to see if XY chokes on it...

[admin]

You surely will make XY sweat with this column...

Works fine so far (e.g. with testfolders that have 50k entries)
