You may use the Filter: right*.h RETURN "You may use the Filter: right*.h RETURN" I'm not sure what you mean... Created attachment 42870 [details] How to use a filter http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qregexp.html see Wildcard Matching filter with blank (OR): a* b* files like: aha OR blabla The name field with auto completion is still useful. I know what regular expressions are, and how filtering works; I was pointing out that having files that are not valid in the context (/and/ don't show up in the file list view) appear in autocomplete is confusing, and I can't see any good reason for it. I'm not complaining about problems developing with KDELibs, but rather reporting a user-visible problem (as I see it). My assumption was that the bug resided in the KDELibs file dialog, as I was able to reproduce it in several applications. If I'm wrong about that, please correct the report, and if there's a good justification for the autocomplete behaviour, please enlighten me. Maybe there are some c files/folders in current folder ? Name: c I use the Name field just for info [in]dependent of the actual filter. Filter steps: a* -> a* b* -> a* b* c* This is an example where the behavior makes sense. "Name" relates to current folder. "Filter" relates to the shown file list. multi level filter with "find" in console:
> find . -name "*.cc" -a -name "hint*" | sort
Find in the current and sub folders all "*.cc" files AND only those starting with "hint".
Works for me in KDE Frameworks 5.45. |
