Quick filter

[mgigli]

Hi,
Since I started migrating from TC, I have been trying to migrate some functionality to which I had become accustomed. I have already migrated TeraCopy and was searching for other things. The last thing I'm trying to configure is the quick search.
In TC, the quick search option allows you to only show files that meet the criteria. Here, Quick Search doesn't have this option, but Quick Filter may serve the same purpose. However, I can't figure out how to close or delete the Quick Filter option. I don't know if there is a missing keyboard assignment that I can't see. I'm trying to accomplish this with a user-defined internal command, but I also can't find any command that quickly closes (cleans, erases, etc.) the quick filter.

Ctrl+F for the Filter Box focus then Backspace to erase & Escape to return to the main view.

I know it's a bit of a hassle, but is there any way to do this with a single key? For example, by using an internal command that I assign to a key?

You can create Filters (Configuration > Filters) then use this in a User-Defined Command (replace with your relevant FilterID) to filter out the files you want (these can be used as Custom Commands or MultiScripts and you can give them a Hotkey):
Filter e-Book Only (Sumatra) "doc"

Code Select Expand


MC.Explorer.SetViewFilter FILTERID="110d14a5c6844ff988d51cf79fb2ef3b"


You can use this to select all files solely without showing anything else (GhostFilter):
Source Code Select GhostFilter Files

Code Select Expand


Sleep(300);
MC.Explorer.Goto LEFT="D:\Download\cpp-projekt\FuzenOp_SiloTest\Yahoo-8Ball-Pool-Clone\"
Sleep(300);
MC.Explorer.Select FILTER="Pool-Game-CloneV18.cpp Yahoo-8Ball-Pool-Clone.rc resource.h" ONLYFILES
Sleep(300);
MC.RunCmd ID="ExplorerPanel.51023";
Sleep(300);


These are just scratching the surface, you can put them to use any way you like. You can use Filters to specify File Coloring Rules as well. ChatGPT AI is pretty decent at scripting and stuff.

Thanks, I'm trying claude at the moment. I will try to create an empty filter to quickly clear the filter.

Alright good luck 👍, but I had a bad experience with Claude's free-tier 'Sonnet', unless you're using 'Claude Opus 4.7 Thinking' (paid model), it's pretty useless. Whereas ChatGPT is amazingly good even with their free-tier models (just make sure you enable 'Thinking Mode')!
