list-buffers - Project
« on: July 21, 2016, 05:40:00 PM »
When the Project tab is sorted by Path, the "list was truncated to 5000 items" appears somewhere in the middle of those 5000 items - making it pretty hard to notice that it is there.


Maybe this text shouldn't be in the list control itself, but a separate text item in the dialog?




Interesting ... if ShowRelativePaths is on, and you have a bunch of files in the root of whatever we are relative to, that affects where this line sorts to - since it has a blank path as well.

Good catch.  This will be fixed in the next beta.

What about other special entries in this list?


filelist (from the dir command)
Build (.process)
Search result
others?

It looks like they follow the normal (name or path) sorting rules.  I'm not sure what you are getting at.  Do you want special items to be moved to the top of the list, regardless of sort order?

Or at least grouped together and something to indicate that they are special.
Build, Search and Untitled now sort by name. As does backup history "Version X of C:\..." (This one doesn't even have a unique icon).


Being able to sort by icon would help (but only if I can sort by multiple columns: Icon first, then name, then path, or Icon first, then path then name). Hm...I'm not sure that works since there is a different icon for modified buffers and I don't think I'd necessarily want that.
