Suppose to have some files with a "+" on the filename. If you try to filter them out using the filter bar and typing "+", nothing is shown. Reproduced in current trun r1004092
The reason is that the view does not filter the files/folders using the actual contents of the filter bar, but it interprets the filter as a regular expression. "+" has a special meaning in regular expressions, which is why you need to enter "\+" in the filter bar to filter items containing it. This is not really obvious, I think ;-) It could be changed by changing m_proxyModel->setFilterRegExp(nameFilter); to m_proxyModel->setFilterFixedString(nameFilter); in DolphinView::setNameFilter(const QString& nameFilter). But on the other hand, it might be that some users rely on regular expressions for advanced filtering, so I don't know if this should really be changed or not.
