Filter settings are ignored

[V@no]

Hello.

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but it seems filter settings are ignored. For example I edit "video" filter and checked "Match path" - it doesn't show any files when searching for the folder name. However, when I enable global "Match path" in the "Search" menu, it shows the files.

Bug or I'm missing something here?

The Filter Match Path options applies to the Filter Search only.

To apply Match Path to your main search with the Video Filter:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Organize filters....
• Select Video and click Edit....
• Change the Search to:

  Code: Select all

  ext:3g2;3gp;3gp2;3gpp;amv;asf;asx;avi;bdmv;bik;d2v;divx;drc;dsa;dsm;dss;dsv;evo;f4v;flc;fli;flic;flv;hdmov;ifo;ivf;m1v;m2p;m2t;m2ts;m2v;m4v;mkv;mp2v;mp4;mp4v;mpe;mpeg;mpg;mpls;mpv2;mpv4;mov;mts;ogm;ogv;pss;pva;qt;ram;ratdvd;rm;rmm;rmvb;roq;rpm;smil;smk;swf;tp;tpr;ts;vob;vp6;webm;wm;wmp;wmv path:<$param:>
  

  (added path:<$param:> to the end of the filter search)

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is "filter search"?

[void]

The Search field in the filter:

[V@no]

Ok, so now I'm totally confused... what are the checkboxes for on your screenshot then?
My initial thought was these checkboxes control "global" settings that are in search menu of main window, but they seem to do nothing...

P.S.
I forgot to mention, I'm using v1.5.0.1357a (x64)

[void]

The checkboxes toggle search options that only apply to the filter search.

For example, if you wanted a filter to match the upper case word: ABC
Check the filter Match Case option and set the filter search to: ABC

For example, if you wanted a filter to match filenames starting with foo
Check the filter Regular expressions option and set the filter search to: ^foo



Use bookmarks if you want to adjust the global search options.

Oh, so other words, these settings only applied to whatever is typed in "Search" field in the "Filter edit" window...Now I understand. Thank you!

Maybe these could be grouped together, maybe it would be less confusing?

[void]

I will consider grouping the search options with the search edit.

Thank you for the suggestion.
