Hi,

Would it be reasonable to add an option for the zero column, like: Filter=BYCOLUMN, to keep active filters explicitely defined for some of the columns?

This would be equivalent to add Filter=NONE to each column not to filter, but not very easy to implement when I need only a couple of them filtered among many non-filtered columns.
An alternative could be to convert the zero column Filter=NONE from globaly switch off the auto-filter in the XTREE to a partial switch off, maintaining the filter for the columns explicitely coifigured with "Filter=" and consider Filter=NONE for the others w/o "Filter=", but this is a change of behaviour that we can always avoid, no?

Thanks

I second this request..., but for some reason i think Jack said it was not possible or easily added. Does seem counter-intuitive to turn a feature OFF by column.

I think the objective always was for Filter=NONE in the zero column to be the default for all subsequent columns. But on closer review, it looks like the implementation maybe wasn't quite right. So I think I'm going to take this on as a bug fix.

But just to be clear, the objective is as follows (I think) ...

Filter=NONE overrides all global filter/toggling options. As with most Advanced Coldef Options, if you set it for a zero-width column, it becomes the default for all subsequent columns, although each of those can override it separately with an explicit Filter= option.

All higher-level mechanisms for enabling/disabling/toggling filters, such as the right-click Filter options, only affect the columns which are not set to NONE (whether explicitly or by defaulting from the zero column).

So for example, if you have a tree with 20 columns, but only three of those make sense to filter, you would set Filter=NONE in the zero column, and add explicit Filter=<RANGE|CB|PATTERN> options to the three specific columns. Then when you globally enabled or toggled filtering, it would only affect those three columns.

I wouldn't say it better
What I had in mind is exactly how you described in the last paragraph

Thanks
