A few weeks ago a Gwenview user asked if it would be possible to implement file name filtering. I initially answered that while the idea was nice, I didn't have time to work on it.
Of course, one should never trust me when I answer mails too quickly. A few days later, it turned out I needed such a feature. So I decided to implement it.
It started as a simple lineedit to filter filenames:
[image:1992]
But this was not handy for me: I needed to filter images by file date. So I ended up implementing it as a toolbar button. When clicked it reveals a few fields to filter by name and/or by date, like this:
[image:1993]
All this is available from your nearest KDE SVN mirror.

screen space
I also like the feature, but the widgets are far too big IMHO. The toolbar's lineheight should be reduced a lot. I guess its those x-buttons that are too high.
It's mainly caused by the
It's mainly caused by the widget style: This screenshot is done with Klearlooks. If I use Plastik the buttons are smaller.
This is Great!!
This is getting better as time goes by, just like wine
I have just compiled it (had to fix a compilation error though with gcc (GCC) 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux)), and I'm thrilled!!!
Maybe you should consider adding image dimenssion filtering. Something like:
Width is less than/more than/equal to xx B/kB/MB
Height is less than/more than/equal to xx B/kB/MB
Kind regards

compilation error
I can't compile from SVN. I don't know if it's my installation who is broken (if so, don't bother with my problem) but it can maybe help you to solve a problem before the release:
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libkdesu.la' is not a valid libtool archivemake[1]: *** [gwenview] Erreur 1
Don't know if this is useful but "libtool --version" give me
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.6 (1.1220.2.95 2004/04/11 05:50:42) Debian: 224 $No idea sorry. I'm afraid
No idea, sorry. I'm afraid this has to do with your kdelibs installation.
Could you send me the patch
Could you send me the patch for your compilation error? I would like to avoid compilation error reports when the new release is out...
As of filtering by image dimension, why not, but the filter widget will get really large. I need to find a solution to avoid this. Any idea?
a button to switch the
a button to switch the filter "toolbar" on/off
Thank you :)
Not yet tried this feature but it's a very nice idea. Does your "clear button" react as in the location field in Konqueror (when one middle-click on it, the search field is cleared and the content of the clipboard is pasted inside of it) ? Maybe you could do the same for the location field btw
I think it's a very useful (and hidden...) feature in Konqueror. I spoke about this in an amarok bug report and one of the developers looked to like it so maybe it will be added to the amarok filtering field too. This should be a default behaviour for all the KDE apps with a filtering feature or a clear button linked to a editfield(Kaffeine, amaroK,..., and Gwenview)
Not yet
Oh... never heard about this. It is really an hidden feature indeed. I will have a look at it if I find the time, but any patch is welcomed
