First of all an important thing: "tree filter" is a statement with no sense. We know that in the code exist a treeFilter, but a user that open a "Game List" window and see a "tree filter" option will be baffled for sure. So if we go back to the old, perfectly clear, "Game List" window behavior: - Show always every game in the filter no one can misunderstand that. Now we want to add an option that "temporarily restrics the current filter by the current board position" and a simple checkbox as Gerd did is the best way in my opinion. Please notice too that the new option is a different thing from the Ctrl+Shift+B search current board that permanently change the filter. Bye, Fulvio
P.S. I agree that "Game List" window and "Tree Best games" window should be unified, but there are some big technical difficulties P.S.2 I think that the "all" option is a bad idea too. User scenario: - open a big database - the "Game List" window show all the games, no way everyone will try to go game by game in a million games database - Search header for last year games - Still too many results: "AND" the filter with elo>2500 games - Look at some games - reset the filter to make another search - visual feedback: in many places you get the "Filter: number of games / total games" Problems with the "all" option: - open a big database - the "Game List" window show all the games, no way everyone will try to go game by game in a million games database - Search header for last year games - Still too many results: "AND" the filter with elo>2500 games - Look at some games - click on the "all" option and make another search ***!!!!*** The filter was not reset but the user may think it was because the "Game List" window showed all the games. You get a bad filter result without notice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
