Folder Filter not kept between Folders

Post by m.Th. »

Do the following steps:

0. (prerequisites) Have two folders c:\f1 and c:\f2 with some photos in them (let's say 20-30 - it doesn't matter).
1. Go to 'f1' and tag some photos. Let's say 4.
2. Go to 'f2' and tag some photos here too. Let's say 6.
3. Go back to 'f1'
4. While displaying the thumbs from 'f1' go to Folder Filter button (is to be found in the toolbar right above the thumbs pane, the one with the Path Edit Field - the button is the 2nd from the right with a yellow filter icon on it). Choose from the drop-down menu 'Tagged files'. Now it should appear only the 4 previously tagged files in step 1.
5. Go to 'f2' with the filter applied.

Expected: The thumbs pane should be updated to show the 6 tagged files from 'f2'

Actual: The thumbs pane shows 0 (zero) thumbnails

It is a basic usability problem, annoying and confusing.

If one cancels the filter and re-applies it again, it works as expected.
