Proposition:
Remove the combo box.
Add a paste icon on the right of files, above the Directory selection
icon, and set it's tooltip to "Paste the project patterns, if any".
This is not the same functionality, choosing project on the combo is a
sticky choice that follows the project settings, with this change the user
would have to remember to paste when changing the project setting or after
a custom search.
And it also blocks editing the patterns. The most common starting point
for specifying custom patterns does not work.
It does, although a bit awkward: Choose project first, then custom. The
project patterns remain and become editable.
The "same functionality" can be achieved by using a check box, since
the distinction between "all" and "custom" is nonsense. That'll still
block editing, but at least won't be so clumsy.
Or we can check if the field contains the current project patterns,
and fill it with the new project patters on switch. Big deal.
I dont feel strong about FiF, so do whatever you feel right. However I
find the current combo box not that bad. The Project option is useful to
automatically fill apply the project patterns. I do like your proposal
of a "Paste project patterns" as well, but I fear that I need to press
that repeatedly while now I can select project once and forget about it
(even across restarts).
Best regards.
