Multi-Filter Search in action draft

Sat Nov 1 03:22:08 PDT 2014

I downloaded and played a bit with the multifilter function.
Wow it's really nice.

I thought it was placed above everything. It's really a good
implementation. Now we need other filters and maybe some button to control
it's behaviour.
I agree with Dirk that visibility and rating are not good candidates for
filtering.
Maybe tank (but we should decide which tank if we have multi stage dives)
or maybe DC.
- An important thing, on the left side is a way to filter the time range:
from: to:
- a button to minimize or close the filter panel. Dirk wrote the same I was
proposing time ago: while minimized the panel occupies a small space amount.

I played just five minutes, I will give a good try this evening. Just two
things:

The search boxes "filter this list" is case sensitive, it should be case
insensitive.
Through this filter I realized my XML is full of small errors coming from
an old bug: I have the same buddy with comma and without. e.g. "Dirk
Hohndel" "Dirk Hohndel,"

PS
This feature it's the greatest thing since the two stage regulator :)

A small screenshot for who diddn't download the latest version
