TC9.0aRC3: Quickfilter bug

Dennis_Stevens · Post by *Dennis_Stevens » 2016-12-11, 07:40 UTC

Hello,

I have posted this problem here (http://ghisler.ch/board/posting.php?mode=editpost&p=322731) already but it makes more sense in this thread here.

I have a folder with the following content:

Code: Select all

Now I want to filter all double files (-1 at the end).
So I enter into Quickfilter:

Code: Select all

*-1.jpg

.

Which results to this:

Code: Select all

2016-12-05 18.35.11-1.jpg

Which is the same as

Code: Select all

That cannot be correct.

Try this:

"Configuration"->"Options..."->"Quick Search"->"Exact name match:"->"Ending (last character before a typed dot . must match)"

This is a quickfilter and I did something that I have done for the first time in DOS at the beginning of the 90s. And in TC I have to make a special setting for this...Great! That is really quick. I think I am faster doing such works manually than doing trial and error.

If Quicksearch is now that complicated I wonder why there is no article in the help. If I search for "quickfilter" I do not get any result.
I have to take a look in the article of the configuration dialogue to find a clue how quicksearch is working.

From documentation to handling: That whole thing is strange.

And why is this an entry in the bug forum ?
Only because you are not understanding it ?
It behaves as described and designed, so all you can make is an entry in the suggestions forum.
Moderators should move this thread out of the bug forum.

Because yesterday I thought that it would be a bug.
And if you would have read my first message you would have seen that I first have asked in another Thread if that is a bug. And I have received the answer that this could be a bug.

There were no quick filters in DOS, only wildcards for commands, and these are different things.

And in TC I have to make a special setting for this...Great! That is really quick. I think I am faster doing such works manually than doing trial and error.

I find default behaviour weird too (it finds regini.exe on reg.e), but it is here for many years... And it is really quick to change it once and use for years later. It is well-known that wincmd.ini is one of the most important files to backup.

The behaviour is intentional and will not be changed. If you don't like it, just change the settings.

Please take a look at the other thread.
It is not the function itself. It is the Preset that leads to the misunderstanding.

Please take a look at the other thread.

Your link: http://ghisler.ch/board/posting.php?mode=editpost&p=322731 doesn't lead anywhere that the rest of us can see - it points to a post editing page that only you can open. - so impossible to look.

I guess you are referring to this thread: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=322731 - which is also hard to read for many - since it is in German.

Post by *ghisler(Author) » 2016-12-14, 09:55 UTC

It would be a very bad idea to change the default now after so many years - this would confuse far more people...

I had an idea about the quick search: It would be convenient if the searchbox appeared with a starting "*" sign, if the last search also started with it. So turning this feature off could be done with a backspace. (I tried to find the right place for this suggestion, but I'm a little occupied now. If anyone thinks this the idea is worth the effort pass it along)
