Feature Request: Change File Manager Synchronization Checkbox to "Show changed" #6080

Closed ernestmcd closed 11 years ago

ernestmcd commented 11 years ago

I like the Contao 3.1.1 version. I would like to see the behavior of the checkbox in the Fiile Manager when displaying "Synchronize" results from "Show unchanged" to "Show changed".

Invariably when I am adding files, images etc. what I am really looking for are the elements that have added/deleted/changed. Modifying the behavior of that checkbox would be a simple change in the backend that would speed checking of modifications. The master list already shows everything, this would simply show the items that I have just worked on.

New, changed and deleted files are shown by default.

Yes, Leo I know that the "New, changed and deleted" files are shown by default, and the Synchronization is a nice feature in 3.1.1.

In the site I'm working on I have 477 files in the File Manager (and more on the way).

If I modify 10 files, delete 3, and add 7 files, having the excellent display of ALL the files by default is very useful.

But it seems to me, that instead of scrolling down through a very "tall" list of 477 files (14 screens) to ensure that ALL my changes have occurred, having the checkbox in the Synchronization to show "Unchanged" files is less useful than it would be to reverse the behavior of the checkbox to show "Changed" files when checked (especially on a production site.) This would let me filter the list to show me just the changes and let me confirm my work before moving on to another step.

Perhaps some others might comment on this suggestion as well. Anyway, thanks for the quick turn on this feature request.

Hm, maybe you are getting me wrong. Changed files are always visible, unchanged files are hidden. Is it possible – since you are mentioning a long list of 477 files – that the unchanged files are not hidden on your system? Please check against the online demo.

Leo: Thanks for the comeback!

The unchanged files are NOT hidden on my installation, basically everything is shown. When I check the "Show unchanged" files, nothing happens...the list doesn't change to show "Unchanged", even if I click "Continue" at the bottom of the screen.

This could possibly be a conflict with an extension, not sure but in any event, the Syncrhonization feature doesn't seem to display in the manner you describe. (But it DOES work) I can do some testing over the next day or so to see if I can identify a conflict somewhere.

Most likely, you only have to purge the script cache. The unchanged entries are hidden via CSS.
