QuickSearchAutoFilter=1 Not working.

[ThurahT]

The topic says it all. The setting gets reverted to "0" as soon as I start Ttoalcmd. I have it set to "QuickSearchAutoFilter=1" in my backup wincmd.ini and after copying it to totalcmd program directory and restart Toalcmd it gets reverted back to 0. Really frustrating since I like that feature.. : ) . This is on Vista 64.

Maybe you're disabling quick filter after TC start? 0 and 1 values are floating - TC may change them. If you're using quick filter always you may try to use value 2.

Also you may use Ctrl+S to open quick filter instead of just quick search - it will enable auto-filter even if it was not enabled before.

That is weird.. I never had to press CRTL+S before.. But when I do it now the quicksearchaoutofilter seem to work.. Without doing it with CRTL+S.. I need to do it once tho.. Like it doesn't kicks in until at least doing it once. Then it works properly without pressing CRTL+S.

Smthng isn't right tho. Because nothing is changed in the INI when I look now. It is still set to "0"... But it does autofilter anyways.

Edit: I guess value "2" is what I am looking for. But I do not understand what "1" is for then..

QuickSearchAutoFilter updated only when you close TC

But I do not understand what "1" is for then..

QuickSearchAutoFilter will save the state of quick search filter on closing TC as far as it is not set to -1 or 2

QuickSearchAutoFilter
0: Automatic quick search filter (Ctrl+S) disabled
1: Automatic quick search filter (Ctrl+S) enabled
-1:Like 0, but do not save state when closing TC (filter always disabled at startup)
2: Like 1, but do not save state either (filter always on when starting TC)

Values 0 and 1 reflect quick filter button state on TC exit - TC sets value to 1 if quick filter is enabled or to 0 if not. Values -1 and 2 TC lefts unchanged anyway.

Ah.. That little icon is a button.. See.. I never use mouse so I never actually clicked it.. Theres no way to get to it by keyboard (at least none of the keys I tried) so now it makes all sense. Thanks for all of your replies. I will use "2". : )

BTW that little icon-button has hint 'Ctrl+S' drawn on it.

[ThurahT]

It does! I see it now : ) . But you see.. It is not visible if you are a black background user, like myself.. That small text is hard coded black! It should follow the color coding of windows or its own program., but it doesn't : )

Wonder if there are more hard coded color coded things I've missed... : )

Agree. I think it would be more useful to have just filter icon on that button and hint on mouse hover like 'Enable/Disable quick filter (Ctrl+S)'.

I can't remember any other buttons with hardcoded text.
