[implemented] *.*|*.*\ as file mask hides all directories

[petermad]

In TC7pb3 using *.*|*.*\ as a file mask hides all directories - this doesn't happen in TC 6.56 - is it a feature or a bug?

07.02.06 Added: Include/Exclude certain directories in the current file list using the "Show" - "Custom" filter, e.g. *.* | *\ hides all dirs (for a file window used with tree view). Not working with "Define" button.

(for a file window used with tree view)

But it works without any tree views at all (like Full View in both panels and no separate tree views enabled).

It is impossible to navigate anywhere but up dir with this mask enabled - but I guess it can have its uses.

It's indeed a new feature which was added to work with separate trees.

It's indeed a new feature which was added to work with separate trees.

So do you confirm that it's a BUG that this is possible for a NORMAL panel as well WITHOUT separate tree?

Or the "(for a file window used with tree view)" in the History is only an EXAMPLE for its use?

[ghisler(Author)]

No, it's not a bug. It may be useful also when using a tree in the other file panel, or for some special printing needs.

It is very useful! Thanks!

It would be nice if it worked on ftp panels too...
So this is a bug report now :
Try to filter a normal file panel or a fs plugin with this filter:

Code: Select all

*|*\

This doesnt work in an ftp panel.

[ghisler(Author)]

I will try to add that, thanks.

Thank you! 2ghisler(Author)

The filter

Code: Select all

*|*\

is still not working for ftp panels in 7.0b4.

[ghisler(Author)]

Yes, and this is intentional. Why? FTP does not show any subfolders in the tree. Therefore such a filter would make it impossible to navigate through ftp folders.

I dont ever use any folder tree. Never. But I often filter my views in the panels. If I want to navigate, I press ctrl-F10 and navigate. But then i land in my favourite logs directory on the ftp server, and see 1243 log archive folders, 5256 logfiles from different systems, and I want to filter big time. And I cannot blend out the directories! Aaaarrgh.
