In version 4.8.x there is search box is between color mark ratings and sort by controls. In the master branch the search box is gone. Is it by design?
This search box is very convenient for me to show only particular files. For example, I have pairs of .ARW and .DNG files and want to process only .DNG. In 4.8.1 I can type dng in the search box, press Enter and see only .DNG files. In master I cannot do that anymore.
I build from source code. Did not notice when exactly it happened, but as of a few days the search box is gone. Can it be my local settings or something?
I never use this, but it was missing for me as well. It was easy to get back, though. Click the funnel dropdown, then select “filename” in the files section to display it again:
Maybe the reason it works for me is that in the distant past I have pinned it as a search feature. Just for the heck of it I decided tonight to add camera as a search option and pin it as search box. It works brilliant. I just tried it with a batch of images shot on a Canon R7. If I type R7 into the camera search box or Canon the images are found. If I type G16 another canon I own no images were found.
