Browser - Catalog filter - replace All with Clear button

Post by user0 »

XnViewMP 1.5.5 64bit
Windows11 (22H2), display resolution 3840x2160, win scaling 150%


Browser - Catalog filter
It's annoying when the clear/reset filters function is not clearly visible (XnViewMP, ACDSee), there is no such problem in Lightroom (see top right corner in the screenshots).
It also doesn't make sense to have ability to select multiple filters + 'All'


Suggestion
replace 'All' with 'Clear' or 'Reset' button on top

improve filter abilities:
  • add Unrated, Unlabeled, Untagged items (eg like in acdsee)
  • split Tag into its own group
This is good idea. And others from your post.

I propose something more - to add a counter of tagged files to this list, near the options to choose (tagged/untagged). And maybe a counters of colour labels and stars too.
Going forward - counter of tagged files I think should be straight visible in main window in browser (and in active top edge in fullscreen mode)), because it's really important (knowing how many photos are currently choosen). There is so many unused place there. Toolbar - somewhere on right - perfect! Tittle bar too.

There is something in settings>browser>browser>title Bar and fuctions added from list>extra to title bar, but nothing works (bug?), and there is no counters. This place not specially visible, but better this one than no one.

Browser's statusbar would be better place for tagged files counter, like in FastStone

'All' is not the same as no selection, it's all files in the catalog.
'All' & 'Uncategorized' are special item because they work alone

right, I was confused by fact that when you select 'Catalog Filter' panel - filelist still shows files from current folder, not 'All' from Catalog (until you select any filter)

I would prefer different approach
- when you select Catalog Filter panel - filelist changes to all cataloged files (default state - show all cataloged files)
However it works better with Catalog panel, eg like in CaptureOne.
