Missing functionality when selecting items from FTP list

Post by *Tragedy »

Hello,

I installed the new beta and I found out that one functionality is missing. I refer to the functionality of selecting items from the FTP connections list by typing the consecutive letters of a specific item. For example if you have an item called "Mirrors" you were able to quickly select it by typing "mir".

I hope that yo got the point :)

Check in:
Configuration -> Operation -> Quick Search

I think Tradegy referred to the List of FTP-connections that is shown when pressing CTRL+F
In this dialog you can -unfortunately- only quicksearch for the very first letter of a connection name. Sounds like this is worth a request ;-)

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

I had a quick look at TC 7.04 and you're right, it was possible to type multiple chars to jump to a certain connection. Maybe this functionality accidentially got lost somehow when the folder support was implemented in the FTP dialog...

7.04 used standard listbox, 7.5 cannot because of folder support...

FTP-quicksearch with multiple chars seems to work fine in pb4, thanks :-)
