Dafe, if you plan to work on this, please note that to avoid user's mistakes and confusion, the filter settings should be visible on the screen when applied, without having to deep-dive into some dialog. This way, the user will be able to quickly see what filter is applied to the output window when they come back to it after a longer period of time (having applied a filter before). Ondrej, The Filter icon in the gutter of the Tasks window shows in a "depressed" state when a filter is applied. Now, personally, I would have made the fact that a filter is applied a little less subtle (maybe use color in addition to the depressed state), but I like the fact that I don't have to always look at a line describing the applied filter (which permanently takes away real estate from the tasks window). Are you saying an icon, as in task window, would not be enough for the Output Window? Certainly, if no filter is selected for the Output Window, no space should be taken up. Thanks for looking into adding this - much appreciated. Thanks for recommendations guys, but I have no plan to work on this due to lack of resources. Probably someone from community will have to look at it... |
