Title: Start file search only after ENTER is pressed.
Post by: ubacher on November 27, 2017, 05:38:23 PM

The file search starts searching about 1.5 seconds after I have typed the last character.
This causes me troubles again and again.
My request is to have the option to disable this automatic starting i.e. to specify that the search
should start only after ENTER is pressed.

+1 from me

My problem is that after I have searched something, I start to use the mouse wheel to scroll through the results. Because the focus is still in the search box an other entry is selected in the dropdown and a new search starts. I often enough forget to set the focus to the file window after entering some characters. The possibility to commit a search with ENTER would avoid this.

I have implemented this for the next release. It seems more users have problems with the auto-execute that I had anticipated. No sense in annoying users.

This apparently simple change actually required me to implement several new classes to override the default behavior of the user interface toolkit And while doing this I've also found a way to suppress the mouse wheel handling in the drop-down combo of the file window search bar when it has the input focus (thread 7445 (https://www.photools.com/community/index.php?topic=7445)).

Great - that was the other great nuisance that I ran into all the time!
