[TC 10.51] Display not automatically restored on FTP after using cm_ShowOnlySelected

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[TC 10.51] Display not automatically restored on FTP after using cm_ShowOnlySelected

Post by *petermad »

Normally when using the cm_ShowOnlySelected command, the panel view is restored when TC loses focus and get it back.

That does not apply when the panel shows an FTP site - in my opinion it should work the same way here.

Unfortunately this would require a re-read of the file list from the server. This isn't done because the connection may already have timed out by then.

Which I now have to do manually anyway.

I think it is a small price to pay to have to confirm a Reconnect question in that case. If the connection has timed out, there is an even greater risk that I might have forgotten that the panel is in show-only-selected mode, and therefore might misjudge what I see, maybe thinking that not shown files has disappeared.

Sorry, I do not have any plans to change this.
