Description skrald 2005-03-18 15:50:22 UTC

Version:           CVS as of 2005-03-18 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

When entering a string in the filter-textarea in the Files-tab, only filenames are currently filtered. It should filter on ALL the content in the files list, including directories.
I have plenty of directories so it could be a quite nice feature if this filtering worked on all list items.

Isa bug

Comment 2 richlv 2006-07-17 15:12:20 UTC

stiil reproducible in svn revision 563279

Comment 3 Kevin Funk 2007-02-26 11:25:03 UTC

A search field has been added in 1.4.5.

Comment 4 richlv 2007-02-26 11:53:17 UTC

i'd say 'search' does not invalidate the need to filter also directories, when using the filter field ;)
i would advocate for reopening this report, as filtering is faster and happens only upon current directory, thus it is different from the search functionality.

Comment 5 Kevin Funk 2007-02-26 12:05:24 UTC

Oh, you're right. It's also searching through sub-directories; re-opening for now.

Comment 6 Harald Sitter 2007-08-28 11:43:57 UTC

Well, for starters:
* when reopening a bug set the new version
* also this bug is not a bug, but a wish
* and last but not least, this bug got 40 votes, and only comments by people who are doing somewhat bug management

yay I say, and close with wontfix, since there is obvisually no interest in both, having it fixed and fixing itself

Comment 7 skrald 2007-08-28 12:02:42 UTC

I really disagree. This is indeed a bug IMHO. The filtering is meant to cut away irrelevant entries in the list but when all directories are unaffected, the filtering is completely useless if a large amount of directories are present.

The filtering-by-files-only can by no means be intended, therefore this is a bug. Not a wish. 

Comment #4 has some pretty good points too.

Please reopen this bug! Is it really that hard to fix?

Comment 8 Jeff Mitchell 2007-08-28 13:18:53 UTC

Reopening.

Comment 9 Jeff Mitchell 2007-08-28 13:19:33 UTC

I will look at this.  If it seems to risky in stable (1.4 series) to fix, I'll mark it for LATER so it'll get fixed in the 2.0 series.

Comment 11 Ismael Barros 2008-08-05 01:44:35 UTC

Still behaves the same way in Amarok2 1.86 alpha, having this wish implemented would be really nice.

Comment 12 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-08-13 10:59:56 UTC

Changing to wish.

Comment 14 Myriam Schweingruber 2010-02-16 10:20:34 UTC

This works now with current Amarok 2.3-git
