Predefined Quick Filter icon on Splitter should highlight - and then be able to turn off that filter

#1 Post by Forez » 18.06.2018, 14:52

Under the

Tool > Settings > Quick Search / Filter / Starter > Quick Filter > Predefined Quick Filters

the user can pre-define some simple filters that will be available on the list under the triangle icon of Quick Filter box [the one on bottom right of each of the two main panels]. Those filters can also be evoked when are present on the Splitter [they can be chosen in the Command section of the available icons for Splitter]. And so when such icon is clicked ["Set predefined quick filter no. 1", "Set predefined quick filter no. 2", etc.], the proper filter is activated and the code of that filter appears in the Quick Filter box

This is all great. But:

1] Why does the icon is not being highlightet when the filter is active? The Quick Filter box does take notice of that fact and even puts the proper code in it- but the icon itself does not. Other icons do highlight when the option they evoke is active- like for example the "show hidden files" icon [which by default is empty, so it is not really an icon - the icon for that is missing but nevertheless a handy highlight does appear]

2] Clicking on the icon activates the filter - but the user cannot click it the second time so that the filter would turn off. The user has to use the "Deactivate Quick Filter" icon. So the "Set predefined quick filter no. 1" should be changed to "Predefined quick filter no. 1" or [to be more precise] "Turn on / off predefined quick filter no. 1"

FC comes now with provided icons for the user defined quick filters. And clicking them on Splitter turns them not only on but also off


This improvement is great - but there is still 1 old problems with them; and a second but new one:

A] An icon still not being highlighted when being active- thus do not indicating this mode being used [like in the case of e.g. the kind of view that is being used like for example Detailed View]

B] These newly added icons are smaller than others. And they have such small numbers written on them, that they are unreadable on a 4K monitor. They have distinctive numbers - and yet there is a problem with spoing the distinction between them

Unfortunately this is still true


Icon of a Quick Filter on the Splitter does not get Highlight applied to it when it is in its ON state

And the icons for them provided by FC have way too small numbers written on them to be readable
