Search - controls focus - improve search sequence

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.5.3 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


Search
split from Quick search/filter

search sequence is not fluent enough:
1. CTRL+F to open Search tool
current path will be inserted
2. type query
3. press Enter/Return (see Suggestion A)
3. click Search button
4. press Enter/Return (see Suggestion B)
4. click Browse... button
search results (if any) will be opened in Filelist as <Search results>


Suggestion A
'Add' button has focus, so its not possible to run search by pressing Enter/Return once query is typed, that is not convinient.
its better to set focus to 'Search' button


Suggestion B
no button has focus, that is not convinient.
its better set focus to 'Browse...' button
