It is recommended to add a quick multiple filter for search results near the address bar.
In many cases, it is not very convenient to switch filters frequently, view search syntax, use advanced search, use custom bookmarks, etc.
At present, the main needs are [folder/file switching] and [date selection], which can be set as separate buttons.
What I want is something like this: [Folder Toggle] [Date Selection] [Filter]
These two are frequently used, and they are different from other file types of filters. At the same time, the filters of the drop-down menu are not as convenient and fast as the buttons.
[Folder/File Switching]: Folders are placed in the front in ascending order, and placed in the back in descending order. It is not very convenient to find and locate. It would be nice if there is a single switch button (folder, all, and only files), which can be a three status button, or a drop-down menu button.
[Date selection]: Many times you need to quickly find today's, recent or a certain day's items, it will be much more convenient if you put them directly on the toolbar.
Or you can add a floating button switch in the search list.
Or you can right-click the search result column header to add a quick search menu.
For example, right-click [Modify Date] column header, add [Search...] in the menu, and an input box will pop up. After entering the date, you can choose to replace or add it to the search condition.
In addition, I tried the latest beta version 1.5, and it seems that there is no enhancement in this regard.
------------------------------------
Off topic, in fact, for many years, I have always hoped that the resource manager can have a button to fold and switch folder display. When there are many folders in the directory, it is often necessary to scroll frequently if you do not type to locate it, which is very inconvenient.
This suggestion is actually a reflection of this need.
Thanks!
