FreeCommander Forum

I propose adding of option

Tools > Settings > Quick search/filter/starter > Quick search/Quick filter > Keep filter on tab return

which when turned on would show each Tab with its individual filtering expression being actively applied whenever user returns to a given Tab. So in other words: a Quick Filter will remain being turned on in every Tab in which user has used it until manually turned off within a given Tab

It works like this already, also with default settings.

If I set "a" for quick filter on tab 1 and "b" for tab 2, when I switch between tab 1 and 2, quick filter is enabled and it's changed between "a" and "b".

If it's not like you want, try to explain it more.

EDIT: OK, after reading the other topic, I think you want something like "Save quick filter state per tab", right? So, that if it's enabled for tab 1, disabled for tab 2, it would be preserved after switching those 2 tabs.

AKA the state being remembered on a per Tab basis

If this option gets implemented then it will be complementary to the already existing

Tools > Settings > Quick search/filter/starter > Quick search/Quick filter > Keep filter on folder change

and

Tools > Settings > Quick search/filter/starter > Quick search/Quick filter > Keep filter on tab change

thus in overall allowing for more flexibility in behavior of FreeCommander
