Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Mandriva RPMs OS: Linux Currently when "View > Include Albums Sub-Tree" is ON and user has main album open what includes multiple sub-albums, the icon view filter does not filter search results from album names, only from photos and tags etc. Expand this functionality so when typing to filter path, it is going to be searched from photos and sub-albums names too.
Created attachment 25407 [details] patch #1 Gilles, what do you think? Can we add this to the final release...? This is really a little patch that doesn't break anything.

Andi, Agree. Go ahead. Gilles
Yes Sir... :-)

Andi, I have found a little problem with your patch : the album titles will be filtered only if this condition is true : if (settings->getIconShowName()) { } ... getIconShowName() is return true if icon item name is displayed on iconview (file name in fact). This is not related to album title. This is want mean than album titles will be filtered only when file names are displayed on icon-view. To solve this problem you just need to move album titles filtering code outside this conditional section. Gilles
So the quickfilter for text search only works when the filename, caption or tags are displayed in the thumbnail item? Maybe this should be mentioned somewhere, because if you don't display those fields, the search will always fail and some users might be confused. I don't know but do we really need to check on those special cases? Like only filter for filename if filename is also displayed? But as for the specific problem you are right of course, I need to move this line somewhere else.

Like only filter for filename if filename is also displayed? I am also not sure about this. I.e. the quick filter could always work, even if filename/caption or tag are not displayed. Conceptually this is the difference between filtering according to the "properties" of an image, or according to what is displayed. Maybe the first is more natural? (For example for more than a few tags, they are not visible anyway due to lack of space....) Best, Arnd
Also if displaying tags, filenames and tags all together is turned off, the quick filter for text search becomes disabled (visually). But if you don't know why this is happening, some might think this is a bug.
