1.8.6 - Swiping through video files with the mouse wheel stops working when you turn off the one option in the Settings.

Does anyone know what this section in the Settings - “View - Filter” is responsible for?



The thing is, if I uncheck the “Video” option - I can't scroll through video files with the mouse wheel (next/prev). Is this a bug? Windows 11.

I have tabs disabled in the Settings. As for the video in the built-in file browser, it doesn't disappear after disabling this option, all videos are visible and can be viewed normally. The only change, as I wrote above, is the inability to scroll these files with the mouse wheel.

To be honest, I don't understand why this parameter is needed yet, what does it give to the user? Maybe there is some help about this section of Settings?

I already asked about the problem with switching video files with the mouse wheel in this program:
viewtopic.php?p=203786#p203786

But nobody told me anything about this parameter then. I thought the reason was in my INI file, but as it turned out, this particular parameter in the settings was to blame. The average user, unaware of it, can take a long time to find the cause of the problem.

Browser and Viewer have 2 separate filelist fitlers

• Browser
  Browser > View > Filter by [Images, Video.. Custom]
  Settings > Filelist > Custom filter

• Viewer
  Settings > View > Filter

Browser and Viewer have 2 separate filelist fitlers

Thank you very much for the clarification. But then the question remains: why does turning off the Video option in the Viewer filter make it completely impossible to use the mouse wheel to switch between videos? I don't see logic in that, no advantage for the user. It seems more like a bug?

In other words, is it possible to make it so that enabling/disabling this option does not break the mouse wheel (on videos)?

it's not the mouse wheel, it's navigation between video files in general, which is unavailable because you've filtered out video files*.
You can open video file in Viewer from Browser, but it will be excluded from Viewer filelist as soon as you navigate to another file.
If you need video files in Viewer filelist do not uncheck corresponding checkbox in Viewer filelist filter.

* however, there is a bug with counter in statusbar and navigation controls which is not updated accordingly and still count filtered out files
1.8.6 - viewer - filelist - excluded files still counted

Thanks, it makes more sense now. But why make separate filters for Browser and Viewer when you can make one common one? What does it do?

In my opinion, those who don't need video in the Viewer won't want to see it in the Browser. And vice versa, those who need video support in a given program will want to enable it everywhere - both in the Browser and in the Viewer.

With existing “duplicate” settings the program starts to behave contradictorily - an inexperienced user may accidentally disallow video in the Viewer, but at the same time open it from the Browser - in the same Viewer, but with partially non-working functionality, which looks like a regular bug. And he won't even know what the reason is...

Judging by the behavior in MR, the filter works in the logic of "AND":

Code: Select all

Filter = (View Filter and Select) and (User Filter and Select)

The error is corrected simply - by adding two checks (one for each type of filter):

Code: Select all

If not Select then Filter = True Else Filter = Filter and Select End

or very simple:

Code: Select all

Filter = not (View Filter xor Select) and not (User Filter xor Select)

- this logic's not required two additional check for each filter

Code: Select all

If not Select then Filter = True Else Filter = Filter and Select End

In my opinion, those who don't need video in the Viewer won't want to see it in the Browser. And vice versa
