Bug 110136

Should this proposed "filter-textbox" for images with a certain keyword/comment
in terms of functionality be the same as a quick search?

(Depending on how http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149555
is realized, this could also solve this wish).

Yes. IMO we should get rid of quick search as additional dialog.

----------------------------------------------------

Currently search has not a good usability IMO.
I would like to have:
- in the left Search sidebar a simple lineedit to create a simple search (tags, comments)
- a button to create an advanced search
- advanced search not as a dialog, more like this: http://www.google.com/advanced_search
- perhaps an additional lineedit in the main view like this bug report here wishes.

Marcel,

This vision is perfect for me...

> - advanced search not as a dialog, more like this:


Dialog -NOT MODAL - has its uses. Eg. you can check seme details while
constructing complex queries.

yes Mikolaj this is true. Perhaps the advanced search can be put in an extra not-modal window. Or in the central pane, but then you cannot check for details or look at other searches.

Well, this bug was specifically about filtering album tree, not  album
contents :)

But with this implemented it would only give confusion to users and
filtering of album content is more important.

SVN commit 741527 by cgilles:

digiKam from KDE3 branch : new text filters have been added to the bottom of left and right sidebars. View listed below can be filtered:
- Album folder view.
- Tags folder view.
- Search folder view
- Tags Filter folder view.

When user type a string, a search is performed to tree view contents and only items including the strings are displayed.

Gilles, wonderful. That's exactly the feature that I was missing. It's really great. I have tested it and seems to work fine. Thank you ;-).

Works really great :)
Many thanks.

Thanks Mik.

The next big improvement planed for 0.9.4 is this one:

Everything is backported and no more (negative) comments. May I close
these entries?

Mik,

All is backport for "BUG" tagged files. I have tagged as "CCBUGS" others files because these are not fully implemented with this commit. So don't close these files yet...
