[Feature Request] Add filter in Favorites #10

Open venkatchand opened 5 years ago

venkatchand commented 5 years ago 
    It would be great if you add a filter option in Favorites, because i m using 100 filenames with 20 file group name. It make me scroll often.

a. On Favorites filter , List out the file names while keyword typing, without asking file extension b. On Explorer filter, If possible, List out the file names while keyword typing, without asking file extension

Expecting similar feature like this: https://github.com/young-developer/nppNavigateTo

NavigateTo_Main NavigateTo_Search

Thanks in advance.

Hi @venkatchand. Thank you for the your great suggestions!

a. On Favorites filter , List out the file names while keyword typing, without asking file extension

I would like to offer you a way to favorite filters. I will consider the feature, so please wait.

b. On Explorer filter, If possible, List out the file names while keyword typing, without asking file extension.

After selecting one folder in Explorer Panel, execute Quick Open from menu -> Plugins -> Explorer. Is this what you want?

HI @funap,

Thanks for your reply.

No, After selecting one folder in Explorer Panel, In existing explorer filter, if i want to do filter means i have to give "web*.txt" and hit ENTER to display these files [webcode.txt and webdesign.txt].

What i am expecting is if i type "web" in filter box, it should display the these file names [webcode.txt and webdesign.txt]. Here , we should avoid asking mandatory file extension [*.txt] and hitting ENTER button.

Please try using Quick Open. You don't need to enter the extension. quickopen

best regards.

Hi @funap,

Thanks for the clarification. I was used old version of Explorer & thought "quick open" will open file directly, Now understood. Quick Open is what i expected.

It would be great if Quick Open works on favorite files and file group [Only searching my favorites files & groups]. If you add this, no need to add filter on Favorites window. (i.e) Quick open for Favorites window.

Once again thanks for your time.
