I don't understand that question. If there's just "one type", I fail to see why you would want to "uncheck each one by one" because that would refer to multiple rows. If you want to disable all filters, use the checkbox at the very top. -- ___ Geeqie-devel mailing list Geeqie-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geeqie-devel

It is very confusing, though. There simply is no way a newbie would know what the checkboxes are for.

So I wanted to temporarily disable the tif entry. I tried unchecking the checkbox by the tif line (without knowing what you tell me above), but that didn't seem to do anything, even after clicking Apply. -- ___ Geeqie-devel mailing list Geeqie-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geeqie-devel

Which may be a bug or by design ... that the file list isn't refreshed and reduced to just the filtered files prior to leaving the directory. On the contrary, if one starts with "Disable file filtering" and then turns on file filtering, the list of files is reduced to the enabled types immediately. -- ___ Geeqie-devel mailing list Geeqie-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geeqie-devel
