Search not work while file list show previous search result

[ts4242]

1- In the left panel open any folder
2- Do search for *.* and feed the result to the listbox
3- While the listbox show previous search result, do search again for *.* but this time select another folder from the find dialog
4- Press Start
5- Only top level folders in the searched folder are founded

Confirmed!

Only top level folders and files in the searched folder are founded

No file in sub folders of the second path is found.

Your addition is correct, I missed files because my folder top level was not contains files but only sub-folders

This isn't a bug, the option "Search subdirs" - "Only current directory" is still active.

I didn't notice that the option "current dir only" is pre-selected

I think if the user change the search in dir, the option "all (unlimited depth)" auto selected again.

I see.

But the question remains why is it set after a feed to list box?
Is it because otherwise some folder, sub folder would be searched multiple times?

Even if I do a second search from "feed to list box"(with all files and folder selected) and change the option to "all (unlimited depth)" the same number of files and folders will be found.

I found this entry in History.txt

03.03.10 Fixed: Search function, in results from "Feed to Listbox", only selected: create list of already searched directories, to avoid that the same dir searched twice (listing its files also twice)

2ghisler(Author)

17.03.10 Added: Search function: When started from "Feed to listbox" panel, handle as if all files would be selected

In this case you should disable search in field too as you do if there is actually selected files/folders

Well, there are two possible solutions here:
1. Since duplicate results are avoided now, I could leave the "search subdirs" option always at "unlimited depth"

2. I could change it to "unlimited depth" as soon as the user puts something in the "start in" field. This would be more like TC 7.5 behaviour.

What do you think?

1. Since duplicate results are avoided now, I could leave the "search subdirs" option always at "unlimited depth"

This one is OK for me.

1. Since duplicate results are avoided now, I could leave the "search subdirs" option always at "unlimited depth"

a) it is exact the behavior as in 7.50(a)
b) it can be useful if you mark some folder(s) from a "Feed to list box" search result and repeat the search to refine the result. In this case "Search in" is grayed because of "[x] Only search in selected".

Support for this solution++

[ghisler(Author)]

OK, I will do it as suggested in "1".

[ts4242]

Fixed in 7.55 beta 2.

Great, thanks!
