make it clear that SSID filter is case sensitive #441

Closed mx1up closed 6 months ago

mx1up commented 7 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When I entered an SSID filter, it was not immediately clear this was case sensitive. For example, I am connected to "AndroidWifi" and want to filter on it. I type in the filter "andro". Nice, I only see the AndroidWifi network. Now, I go to the timechart tab: nothing comes here. The confusion comes from the fact that in the Access Point tab, I only see the network I filtered on, but not because of the filter, but because I assume the connected network is always shown on top (I only realized this later). So: the combination of the fact that it was not clear to me that connected network is always shown in AP tab and ssid filter is case sensitive, I ended up losing a lot of time 😅

Describe the solution you'd like The easiest solution is just place some extra info next to the SSID field in the filter dialog that indicates this field is case sensitive. For example: image What would also help, is make it somehow more obvious that the network on top in the AP tab list is the connected network, regardless of any filters that have been set. Although, it's basically another issue.

How I can help I can make a PR to change the SSID field title.

I made a PR. If you're up for it, I could also make one to add "currently connected network" on top:
