Need to optimize search #147

Closed louies0623 closed 2 years ago

I want to search in the upper left corner to search for only specific file names, such as .png or .mp3, like the two images below. However, since the file manager does not have the search function on the Tab menu, the search function in the upper left corner is very limited, which increases the difficulty of searching.

Currently we have some "Find" functionality in the Extras menu. Press Command-F to open the Find window.

louies0623 commented 2 years ago

The search function you mentioned, can you add it to the search of tabmenu as an option as an advanced option.

Because any function in mac os is operated by the mouse, if the functions (quick keys) that only the keyboard can have can be reduced, the user can feel approachable.

Maybe if someone wants to resurrect the Non Spatial mode (also known as Explorer mode). Currently only the Spatial mode works (like System 1-9.x) where there was no such search box.

louies0623 commented 2 years ago

It is indeed necessary, because in the current file manager mode, it is very inconvenient, and a series of windows will make people faint, and they do not know where they are now.

Then they are not Mac users from the good old days ;-)

louies0623 commented 2 years ago

But you can keep this mode and leave it as an option on the tabmenu. don't remove it.

probonopd commented 2 years ago

Yes, we don't want to remove it but the Non Spatial mode (also known as Explorer mode) is currently broken and needs to be fixed.
