Global/Folder filter buttons

Post by orbspider »

I really like the new function of setting global/folder level filtering... (when it works...)

I would find buttons above the top filter title (ie Rating) to be much easier to use than the menu entries on the "match" drop-down list.

-> Just two buttons, Global and Folder.

I think that buttons at top would be much more visual and hence user will not select a category with 20k images if match:global is set (unless full db search was intended) as that would hang the program for too long. user will more easily see that Global is switched on, and will hit the Folder button if he intended to use that.

-> the buttons would need a different "pressed" shade, or have a radio-button "light on" when pressed.

Also, IMHO, recursive option is not needed, just global and folder: when folder is selected, and the browser shows sub-folders, then the filter should apply to sub-folders, when sub-folders not shown, filter applies only to parent folder.
