Quicksearch doesn't work in a custom column?

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 :ninja: (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...

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

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