Tag-comment based filtering of content(like visual filter)
Posted: 24 Jan 2009 23:38
This would basically show only certain tags or content of the comments selected by user. It could be part of the search as well.

Super ! Just a little issue : if I filter on "comment:*" all the files/folders are selected, even those without comment. I expected only those having a comment.Tip: You can use the Selection Filter (Ctrl+M) on columns like this: "comment:honey", or "tag:red;blue", or "tag:gr*" (match Green and Grey)...
But doesn't "*" imply a wildcard that anything satisfies? Thus even those with no comment? I agree having a way to isolate only those is needed, but above would be valid reason why it works as is now.jjk wrote:Just a little issue : if I filter on "comment:*" all the files/folders are selected, even those without comment.

Also, with "tag:*", all is selected.j_c_hallgren wrote:But doesn't "*" imply a wildcard that anything satisfies? Thus even those with no comment?

Try this pattern: *?*jjk wrote:Also, with "tag:*", all is selected.j_c_hallgren wrote:But doesn't "*" imply a wildcard that anything satisfies? Thus even those with no comment?

In fact it would be good to be able to select files/folders with any tag/comment (perhaps "tag|comment:?"), and to select files/folders without any tag/comment (perhaps "tag|comment:!?")
