Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux The filter at the bottom of the file selector if very useful for me, because I work on projects with many files and need the filter to find any files at all. However, the filter could be improved to make its usage easier: 1. Add wildcards automatically. Currently, I have to enter "*edit*" and then press enter to find, for example, kmeditor.cpp. It would be great if KDevelop would internally always surround the filter word with asterisks. 2. Add filter-as-you-type. Whenever the user presses a key in the filter textbox, the view should automatically be updated. Then I wouldn't need to press enter all the time.
SVN commit 744048 by apaku: Update the fileselector during typing of a filter. Seems to work fine, even with some hundreds of files in a directory BUG:153279 M +3 -0 fileselector_widget.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=744048
Thanks, that was fast. Seems to pay of to report wishes when I read in your blog that you'll be looking at KDE3 wishes :) Now only 1) (insert * automatically) is missing, but I guess I should really open a separate bug report for this.
