Displays and filters bookmarks on search string, show parent folders. This is a Web Extension add-on version of the old "Bookmark search plus" XUL extension published by Alice0775, not working anymore in latest Firefox, and which was very useful.

Search "Current folder tree", cut link, then paste into new directory - search is reperformed #315

Hi, when I do the following :

1)Select directory "A" 2)Toggle "Current folder tree" & "Title only" 3)search for item "ABC" in title 4)Cut 5)Paste into new directory "B" 6)The addon reperforms the search

Is there any way for me to switch off the reperforming of search? i.e. what I want is to see the set of results of the original search as I cut and paste items from directory "A" into directory "B"? Thanks.

Hello, the search is a realtime panel, reflecting always the latest state. So the answer is no.

woofie56 commented 2 months ago

OK thanks. Is there any way to reperform a realtime search on the original directory (rather than the destination) as one copies and pastes individual items?

aaFn commented 2 months ago

Not sure I understand your question: in "Current folder tree", the search panel shows the realtime search results in the folder selected at time of first executing the search. Later on, you can select other folders / bookmark items, the search result will not change its focused folder.

So simply select the source folder for the focused search, and it will always be showing the realtime search on that source folder, until you cancel the search.

Hi, if in the lower panel I select an alternative folder, the search does not refresh (as you pointed out above).

However if I do :

1)Search 2)Select Item in lower panel 3)"Cut" 4)Select alternative folder in lower panel 5)"Paste Into" -> at this point search results are refreshed to that of destination folder

Hello, thank you for the detailed scenario to reproduce. I improved the behavior of scoped searches to make them more consistent and stable: they will only change / refresh when the scoped search option is changed/reset, or when the content of the searchbox changes, or when the scoped bookmark is deleted. No change anymore when another folder is cut and moved to another, like in your scenario.

This will be in 2.0.131.

2.0.131 is out with the enhancement, let me know. Thank you, aaFn.
