Summary

0000218: add 'search' or 'none' tab in filters dialog

Description

MP 2.63.6.3212 Qt 4.6.2 Win XP Pro

I've a few filter definitions I only use for advanced searches. Until recently they've been defined as "when receiving mail", but had the disabled flag set on them so they wouldn't accidentally get used. I just realised it's more sensible to untick "when receiving mail" so none of the 6 explicit circumstances are set, and also untick "disabled" for these.

Of course I generally have to edit them before I use any, but the ones I store in the filter defs have at least the outlines of typical search filters.

The thing is, the search template filters, having none of the 6 basic types ticked, only show up in the 'All' tab; it occurred to me that having a 'Search' or 'None' (meaning none of the 6 types are ticked) tab would be useful to be able to locate them more quickly.

(0000249) JNicoll (reporter) 21 May 10 00:18	Ah I think I've found a bug as well... I defined a filter with none of the 6 types ticked, a simple 'contains' test on a subject header, and an action to colour the messages white. I ran it against the contents of one folder, starting the search from within the display of the folder's contents (though doing it from the all-groups view is the same). Search itself shows a few of the mails being found, but when I exit from the folder's view and go back in, nothing has changed colour. None of the messages are locked. I enabled logging on the filter and tried again. The log file correctly shows the filters matching some mails and not others.
