Status bar and drop down arrow

[harryray2]

Apologies, I have asked this before, but is there yet an option of moving the drop down box arrow to the left, and the statue bar text (such as omit, paused etc) to the left of the status bar?

[void]

There's no option to do either of these things.

The drop down box is always shown on the right of the search box.

The search state is always shown on the right of the status bar.

[harryray2]

Any plans in the future to add an option?
I don't always have the complete box on screen, so I can't always see what's on the far right, and I often forget what's been set.

[void]

Maybe as an option in a future version..

[harryray2]

OK, thanks

For the drop down box:
When no search is specified: just double-click somewhere in the search bar.
When a search is specified: press 'Alt + Down'


For the statusbar:
right-click anywhere on the statusbar

[harryray2]

Thanks, the double click within the search bar is useful.
With the status bar, I need it in front of me to remind me of things that I have enabled.
If I remember to right click on the status bar, I would have remembered to check the status.

How about move some of the reminder things to the right inside the search box, or even next to the search text typed with some space like suffix or prefix. may with a little background color, like plates.

[harryray2]

Yes, Inside the search box, next to the search text (with a selectable colour), sounds like a good idea. That way, it wouldn't interfere with the status text on the left.

Everything 1.5.0.1383a adds the following formatting variables to Window Title Format and Status Bar Format:

• $match-case:
  $match-diacritics:
  $match-path:
  $match-whole-words:
  $match-prefix:
  $match-suffix:
  $ignore-punctuation:
  $ignore-white-space:
  $match-regex:
  $is-omit: (a result is omitted)
  $is-temp-omit: (a result is temporarily omitted)
  $is-dupe: (an active find dupe command)
  $is-paused: (index updates paused)
  $is-stopped: (index updates stopped)
  $is-admin: (running as admin)
  $is-read-only: (database is in read-only mode)
  $is-safe-mode: (started in safe mode)

search box "plates" are on my TODO list.
Thank you for the suggestion.
