When using dark mode and searching for duplicates: no dashed lines in search results panel

[white]

Enable dark mode and search for duplicate files.
There are no dashed lines in the search results panel of the Search dialog to group the duplicates together.

I have a hard time believing this isn't discussed before, but I cannot find any mention of this.
Please confirm the issue and whether it has already been mentioned somewhere.

Hi,
I can confirm the issue but cannot find any discussion of it.

TC_clean_11.50RC3_x64_&_x86.ini | Test folder: C:\Everything\
Menu "Commands" > Search in separate Process... Alt+Shift+F7, Search... Alt+F7

Code: Select all

Dark mode		Dashed lines

Search results		NO		<==
"Feed to Listbox" 	Yes 

Normal mode		Dashed lines
-------------------------------------------
Search results		Yes
"Feed to Listbox"	Yes

Confirmed
In Dark mode, the dashed lines are only displayed after "Feed to listbox"

Confirmed also under Windows 7, both 32bit a dn 64bit TC.

Since no one reported that this has already been discussed, I'm moving this thread to the bug reports forum.

Confirmed, thanks.

This should be fixed now in RC4, please test it!

21.12.24 Fixed: Find files, search for duplicate files: Separator lines between groups were not visible in dark mode (32/64)

I also found another bug related to duplicate file search while testing this, please test this too:

23.12.24 Fixed: Find files, search for duplicate files, close dialog, re-open dialog -> duplicate search results were lost (32/64)

The Separator lines are fixed.

The 2nd point is only ok, if I close the dialog with Cancel.

Confirmed that the missing dashed lines are fixed in TC 11.50RC4

Or closing by pressing Escape - but that is not unique to Search for duplicates. Closing the dialog at the x in the title bar, or by pressing Alt+F4 also clears the last search result for ordinary searches. But maybe this is a feature?

Confirmed by me as well.

From here: https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=465987#p465987 it appears that it is by design that closing the dialog at the x in the title bar, or by pressing Alt+F4 clears the last search

I think there are probably more users who are confused by this inconsistent behavior than users who want this.

more users who are confused by this inconsistent behavior

They can set SearchKeepLast=0.

Don't you mean the other group of people?

Wouldn't it be better that it works consistently either way. Always remember the last results no matter how you close the window, or never remember last results. If you want to give the user both options, wouldn't it be better to implement for example Shift+close to choose the alternative?

[sa16]

Shift+close to choose the alternative?

It is not good that we would have to change the behavior that has existed for 14 years. But there would be an analogy with F8(Del) and Shift+F8(Del) and the UseTrash option...
