Highlight that applied Filename filters are used

[Orjan]

I suggest you should add some sort of highlighting, indicating that a "Filename filters"/"Directory listing filters" are used in the view.

For instance the frame around the remote directory listing could have a red/orange colored line in the frame or a slightly modified background with large grey text saying that a filter is used, or just a striped background.

I forgot that I had a filter and started to investigate why I couldn't find the files on the remote server, then I realized I had applied a filter matching that file I was looking for. :-)

I also assume there might be other scenarios where applied settings might be good to highlight in the UI.

The number of filtered out items is mentioned in the filelist status bar.

Replying to codesquid:

The number of filtered out items is mentioned in the filelist status bar.

Sorry for opening the case again. I was actually not aware of that indicator, even if I daily use some other features visible in the status bar and I have been a user for a decade. I will start looking more at the status bar.

But I still think you should later on consider to highlight it even a bit more. Most preferably a deviating striped hatched background pattern and text for applied filters. Many of the other features in the status bar that i use daily, like Synchronized browsing and Directory comparison are both very clearly noticeable in the actual directory frame of the UI, but the filters are not that.
