Search results - Browse button
Posted: 23.07.2016, 01:29
In XnView (image viewer), the search results system works like this:
- open the search dialog to search for file/image
- press Enter
- wait for the results
- button "Browse" is automatically focused
- just click Enter to close Search dialog and show the list with all items in the browser
So I suggest the same for FC:
- add the big "Browse" or "Export" button between "Find" and "Cancel"
- add the menu option "Automatically focus the Export button after searching" (perhaps enabled by default)
- use also the new "snap to" feature, after the searching auto-snap to cursor to "browse" button (if the previous option would be enabled)
* the function of the Export button should be the same as "Export all items" button on the search results window.
This way, together with the search profiles, we could just use main toolbar to select the profile, click search/Enter to start searching, then click/Enter to show results in the main FC window/ active panel
More options which might be useful:
- close the Search dialog when exporting the items
- always export results to the new folder tab (otherwise use actual tab)
- automatically close Search dialog and export the results after searching
- use the sorting option from the search results into the FC panel after exporting
- open the search dialog to search for file/image
- press Enter
- wait for the results
- button "Browse" is automatically focused
- just click Enter to close Search dialog and show the list with all items in the browser
