Hello all<br>Excuse me for my bad english.<br><br>Mikolaj Machowski a écrit :<br>> Dnia Friday 04 of January 2008, Gilles Caulier napisa³:<br>><br>>> no, no ,no...<br>>><br>>> I hate to use regular expression everywhere. It's complex and not user
<br>>> friendly, especially into a gui.<br>>><br>>> Take a look into photo-management application under windows and forget<br>>> linux command line here. We programming a guin, and we need a simple way
<br>>> to change behaviour of text filter, using by beginners not experts !<br>>><br>I agree with this point of view.<br>>> My prefered solution is to implement a pop-up menu over the line edit<br>>> widget (like rating filter option available on status bar)
<br>>><br>><br>> This functionality would be hidden from common user. Even with GUI they<br>> would use that really rarely. But for power users it would be nice.<br>><br>I think it will be very harmful for digikam to have a hidden
<br>functionality. The first step says "expert users know that they can do<br>that ..." The next step will be "Ho everybody knows that by using<br>regular expressions he can do that .. this is implemented". At the final
<br>step Digikam will be used by a small community of experts because the<br>functionality will be not implemented in a comprehensive form for<br>non-expert users! Very harmful!<br>> More user friendly could google-like syntax:
<br>><br>> asdf filetype:jpg -date:2007*<br>><br>> It should find file with something with 'asdf' string somewhere AND with<br>> filetype JPG but not done in 2007.<br>><br>Why do you explain this syntax? It was not clear for everybody? (In fact
<br>not for me :-[ ).</blockquote><div><br>Totally agree. It the same for me Mik, This syntax is non user friendly and i don't (won't) understand it... <br><br>Gilles</div></div><br>
