Multiple Ignore list activations

[bogordo]

Hi,

Was searching if there is some way so i can have my Desktop tab with Ignore list always active (hiding shortcuts...etc) and at the same time have the option to active/deactivate Ignore list in other tabs, thus, mantaining the Ignore list active in Desktop tab.

This comes because i really don't need to see ever some of stuff in desktop and other tabs/folders but would appreciate to change the view options inside another tabs/folder for project visualizing.

Maybe too crazy....??

1) you can create an button to toggle the ignorelist on and off
>>> viewtopic.php?p=189458#p189458 (cm_SwitchIgnoreList)


2) maybe 2tuska knows an way how to use "Auto Switch Mode" for to toggle ignorelist on the fly?
>>> Menu "Show > Custom View Modes" // View Mode / Auto Switch Mode by tuska
How to automatically switch the list view based on defined rules, for example if you enter a folder with a specific string in name.

You can just define your ignore list items with full path - then they will only work in that path.

[bogordo]

Thank you, yes petermad, but with this i don't get the option to toggle on/off for certain folders maintaining the Ignore list for Desktop tab on...
Will try too Stefan 2's workaround

[petermad]

Using cm_SwitchIgnoreList always works on both panels, so you cannot have the ignore list disabled in one panel and not in the other.

What exactly do you mean with "Desktop tab" - is that just a TC forlder tab with the Desktop, and in that case it is the physical Desktop C:\users\username\Desktop or the virtual folder \\Desktop ?

Ok thanks, going to try the Custom view workaround...

Hi Peter, i see you edited the post. I mean physical desktop, thus, in a tab with Desktop i would have always Ignore active and in other more flexible folder tabs i would have the option to activate/deactivate Ignore list (without affecting Desktop ignore list state).

The problem using cm_SwitchIgnoreList in Custom View Auto Switch is that cm_SwitchIgnoreList is a toggle command - it will always just set ignore list to the opposite of what it was, so if you make an Auto Switch Mode that executes cm_SwitchIgnoreList when entering %$DESKTOP%, then if you enter the desktop folder again, then cm_SwitchIgnoreList will be executed again toggling the ignore list back to its previous state. And, as I wrote cm_SwitchIgnoreList works on both panels, which might not be what you want.

What kind of ignore entries is it you want used in the desktop folder? Is it specific file types or exact file or folder names?

If only cm_SwitchIgnoreList supported parameters as suggested here: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=48615&p=333020&hilit=cm_switchignorelist#p333020

[bogordo]

I understand, thank you for your detailed explanation!!

My goal is to hide the shortcuts mainly (.LNK) and some folders

[petermad]

Then just put this in your ignorelist:
%$DESKTOP%\*.lnk
%$DESKTOP%\*\

Note this will hide all folders - if you only want to hide specific folders, you have to state each folder separately like
%$DESKTOP%\foldername\

[bogordo]

Yes, i noted this here, but when toggling off Ignore list they would be shown...
It's a little bit whim/tricky, like having a on/off toggle for specific folder tabs while maintaining others on...hehe

Thank youuu

[petermad]

like having a on/off toggle for specific folder tabs while maintaining others on

Yeah, that is currently not possible.

Also note that when the ignore list is toggled on, it affects all functions in TC, not just the two file panels, but also for example the Find Files utility, the Multi-Rename tool, Copying and Moving files - so I guess it would not be that easy to implement per foldertab.

[bogordo]

Yes yes i understand, and possible no necessary , KISS principle maybe

[tuska]

Here's what I would do:

1. Create buttons for the Desktop [optional]
2. Define filter criteria
3. Em_commands [Option: Create shortcuts to em_commands] and create buttons
4. Create View mode(s)
5. Create Auto Switch Mode(s)

1. Creation of 3 buttons for the Desktop (optional) ... (copy the CODE, paste in TC's buttonbar)

|  OR (any match)	+: Must match	I:\Data\Templates\*		Click on "More sub-rules"
|  OR (any match)	+: Must match	D:\Data\EXCEL\Formats\		...

Set this mode: Filter   (=NameOfYourViewMode)!
OK

Code: Select all

From now on, with these settings e.g. *.lnk files on the desktop should be automatically hidden.
However, please note the following important information: 

1. Clicking on a tab does not always start a saved Auto Switch Mode immediately.
   A click on another tab and then on the tab with Auto Switch Mode can help here.
   Sometimes it is necessary to change at least once [or more than once] from the parent directory to the one in Auto Switch Mode 
   defined directory! After that the tab can be clicked at any time and the Auto Switch Mode is always active.   

2. If the Auto Switch Mode is active (e.g. filter applied) and it is activated, and e.g. by a button with 
   command: "em_ClearAllFilters" is overridden (filter OFF), then it means back at the start, this is point 1.
   Alternatively, the Auto Switch Mode can also be restarted immediately, e.g. MANUALLY with a button 
   (command: cd *.* | *.lnk *.bak *.wbk OR em_command, e.g.: em_FilesExtensionFiltering OR command: cm_SrcViewModeList Filter).
   This is also the reason why buttons were specified with em_commands [also usable for undefined directories]!
