Go to a folder containing images and other (non-image) files. Click the "Browse" tab. You see a list of folders and files in this directory. Then click "Add filter"->"Filter by Name" and type some search string, e.g. ".eps". It seems the filter is only applied to images, so from the images only those containing ".eps" will be shown. But other files, e.g. "sheet.ods" will still show even they do not contain ".eps". In KDE 4.9 and before, this was working properly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: To reproduce: mkdir test ; cd test touch test.png; touch test.eps; touch file.ods ; mkdir Folder gwenview --> now try to apply a file name filter - it will not affect Folder and file.ods

Still relevant in 20.08.2 Filename filter of gwenview ignores: a) Folders b) Archive files (including modern zipped office documents) c) symbolic links to a) and b) This is inconsistent with filename filters in Dolphin of the same version.
Still present in 23.08.1. I do data analysis where I generate >250k files, which are a mix of images and .ods spreadsheets. Not the best idea to have that many files in one folder, I know, but that is how the pipeline is set up. Since the .ods files are stored in zip format, they show up in gwenview, and there is no way to hide them. So in gwenview I need to scroll down past ~100k icons before I get to my images.
