Add file filter input to FileOpen dialog #4195
Comments
As well as what it should look like it would be good to know more about how you think it should work. There are many different things that a search in file dialog could do - especially regarding search vs filter. More details would be helpful thanks! |
For example, when user have to find some file he needs to search all over the files(sorted lexicographically) manually in a directory, it is a bit inconvenient especially when there is a lot of files. System dialogs usually give ability to search file via Ctrl+F or by clicking at search entry: user types some text into entry, after that new file filter will be applied and the list of files in the directory is refreshed. |
Aha thanks, so this is limiting the results in the current directory not searching across the computer? |
So we should call this "file filtering" |
It is worth noting that the search box in Nautilus (Gnome Files) seems to search in the local directory and recursively down into any sub directories when typing something in to it. I think it is a good way to handle it but in that case I wouldn't call it file filtering. |
Yeah, it would be great to search in the local directory and recursively down into sub-directories. |
Checklist
Is your feature request related to a problem?
I am always frustrated with a lack of ability of file searching in FileOpen dialog, it would be very useful to add this feature to fyne, especially when user have a lot of different files in directory and searching the appropriate one is a bit hard.
Is it possible to construct a solution with the existing API?
No response
