"Show all" after "Show all tagged files"

Post by Peter2 »

- I have a folder with 20 files and tag 5 of them.
- All are displayed, 5 are "tagged".
- I press the "Filter button"; "all" is marked.
- I press "Tagged files" - 5 are displayed, 15 were hidden: OK.
- I press "all" - 20 are displayed: OK.

- I select menu "View - Tag - Show all tagged files": 5 are displayed, 15 are hidden: OK

- And now??
I can not display "all files" again - all filter buttons do nothing, and there is no menu to "Display all again". Also "Untag all" and "Clear all tags" (What is the difference?) or "refresh" can not help. Only clicking to another folder reactivates the whole file-list.

A bug or a misunderstood feature?

Show tagged files might be more useful if you have tagged files in multiple directories. So, I don't see how they can be synchronized well with the current directory filter.

You must use Filter/All or Custom

You mean for a "standard-usage" of this feature? That is clear, but it does not solve the problem I described above.

Oh sorry, 'show all tags' load tagged files for all folders, so you have all files. Use 'previous' to go back to the folder

I'm guessing you mean 'back' when you say 'previous'. This does show all files, but it clears all tags in the process. Is there any way to truly go back to the previous view, keeping your tag selections and showing all files, as was displayed just before issuing the 'Show all tagged files' command?
