XnView Software

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

Browser - quick filter (find/search)
It looks like a case when settings buried too far away from control (guess inspired by ACDSee).

Suggestion

• add ▾combobox with options
  - move options from Settings (and remove Quick filter tab)

• add ... button to invoke Advanced Search dialog

ps: tbh, I would prefer much simpler approach - quick filter by filename only and use Advanced Search for the rest.



Example

• Capture one

The same drop down menu, can be used to switch between it being a filter, or a search.

See issue for current status and some details.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.8.0. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.
