Total Commander

TC shows a filter icon in the bottom right to indicate that a quick filter currently filters the file list. Unfortunately this doesn't indicate that the quick filter mode is turned on. What do you think about displaying the filter icon even if the current quick filter is the trivial one ("")?

I am not sure it's good idea because either we need another icon to indicate that content is filtered or there will be some misunderstanding.

Currently TC shows when you filter something and this icon disappears i.e. on directory change. That way you know when you see all the files. Without additional icon, it could be harder to realise that.

I have suggested something similar here: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=22324
I think it may be good for QF also.

My point is: Even if a filter is set the icon doesn't inform if all files are displayed or not (e.g. all files match the filter).
So it would be great to have a "x/y displayed" info and permanently visible icon which informs if the filter mode is active.

I know there might be no difference between full match. I agree that having x/y info might be also useful but without two different icons it would be harder *for me* to spot difference. I.e. green and red icons to distinguish matching filter from non matching one.

The reason is simple: I don't need to stare at indicator to know I am filtering something. I can notice it with the corner of my eye. With permanent icon I would have to read the label every time I am filtering something. It might sound strange but when I need to move eyes focus from little up from center of the screen to its bottom, it slows me down due to eyesight problems. Of course, I can change overall DPI settings but in such case the rest of TC looks too bad.

On the other hand: as an option it might be OK.

I support the "x/y displayed" option, it is very good idea.
