Separators for Filters menu / list

Post by Thy Grand Voidinesss »

I would like to suggest giving users an ability for adding visual separators in menus like that of Filters for Filters

That particular one automatically becomes visible below
A list of default and user custom filters is automatically visible below

Main Menu > View > Organize Filter...

and can be visible when unfolded from the drop down button. When hosting many items it can get visually crowded - and so simple thin lines could do the trick of grouping them to the likening of a user. Such feature is present in for example file manager FreeCommander [unfortunately with some glitches]. Such separators are already available for Bookmarks by going to

Bookmarks > Show all Bookmarks...

and right clicking and then choosing from the context menu New Separator


[Right now users can only make a workaround in form of adding a new entry with a name like >> << (i.e. empty space) and thus see an empty entry on the list - but such makeshift separators take a lot of vertical space on the already crowded list]

I will consider an option to add a filter separator.
Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, keep using the blank filter, or a filter named -------
The only problem here is filter names must be unique, so you may wish to include a description or number.
For example:
------AUDIO FILTERS------
Audio filter 1
Audio filter 2
Audio filter 3
------VIDEO FILTERS------
Video filter 1
Video filter 2
Video filter 3
etc..

That is a good idea, much better than using empty lines; especially when combined with symbols like

Code: Select all
