Quick Filter reverse button

#1 Post by Forez » 15.06.2018, 15:18

I would like to propose addition of new option, that would simply reverse the Quick Filter search results

So that for example if the user is looking for "aaa", and put that in the Quick Filter search box on the bottom and gets all the result meeting that criteria- the user could simply push a button near that box and see the opposite [with items meeting the "aaa" criteria being then hidden]


Of course this option could be extended for other filter features within the FC. And also what would be important: if this was to be implemented, a new background color would have to be defined [so that the current filter and such new reverse-filter would not be confused by the user]


With some other software [like Mp3tag: https://community.mp3tag.de/t/filter-upgrades/16629], a feature like that could be a problem. But FreeCommander already has built in Container feature- so maybe some [new form of] Container [holding search results] could be used [in the background] for that?

This has been implemented a long time ago - at the very top of the list with past searches. But could it be made available as an icon sitting next to the Activate / Deactivate Quick Filter icon?

And can it be made visible in that list also when there is no content in the box? Of course grayed out then- thus indicating impossibility to use it? It is not good if default menu entries disappear [or change their order], as it might lead to users' confusion wondering if they have remembered wrongly location of some option
