[9.51] Quick filter is very slow in large folder

Post by *MVV »

I have a folder with 100000+ files and I need to apply some quick filter. When there are no filter set yet, quick filter window appears on Ctrl+S quickly but it may take some seconds to appear when some filter is already applied. It also tries to re-filter items and causes similar delay when I e.g. enable/disable quick filter with empty filter string! Also TC tries to filter items on every key press, and this results in some seconds delay on every keypress. In my case it was about 10 seconds on displaying quick filter window and on every keypress. This is a very bad user exprience.

TC should show quick filter window immediately and apply sorting only after some delay after last typed character (it is called debouncing). E.g. if user types 10 characters in 100ms delay, TC should only sort list once, not ten times! I.e. it should re-set timer on every keypress and only sort when timer ticks.
