Description _ pkuzel 1999-10-07 21:06:33 UTC
In explorer toolbar there is enought space to include combo-text field accepting filters.

Entered text       Result
*.Close            filter all Close object in any package
*my*.Clo*          filter all object in packages containing "my" that begins with "Clo"
and so on.

i.e.:
"." is package filter part and object filter part separator, if ommited then full class name is tested for match.


View should contain just packages which contain at least one matched object. Filter behaviour is defined just on repository tree (possibly Javadoc).

Possibly may apply on each mounted file system different filter.

These is search action and a filter as local filesystem property. So
decreasing to P4.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2001-11-06 15:04:58 UTC
Should this still be open? Shouldn't it be handled entirely by the
search module?
Comment 3 _ pkuzel 2001-11-06 16:13:32 UTC
Filters aka live search results. Can be search improved in such a way?
Comment 4 Marian Petras 2003-03-25 13:42:36 UTC
Petr, would you please update the description of this enhancement,
please? There is no explorer toolbar in NB 3.4.x or NB 3.5.
Comment 5 _ pkuzel 2003-03-25 13:44:48 UTC
I was asking for it :-).
Comment 6 Marian Petras 2003-03-25 14:01:53 UTC
So, Petr is asking for an explorer toolbar to be added to the
explorer. This explorer would provide the features described in the
main description of this enhancement.
Comment 7 _ pkuzel 2003-09-05 13:02:00 UTC
Superseded by explorer navigation enhancements:

  - locate utility like Alt_Shift_O
  - explorer fast typing navigation (try to type in explorer)
  - projects (resources seperated from my sources)
Comment 8 _ pkuzel 2003-09-05 13:02:47 UTC
Taking back my original request.
