Suppose you use the search field anywhere, with or without changing view, and don't clear it? Then you have to remember to clear it in order to see all the files. I'm not sure it would be nice to auto clear the search box automatically on changing modes; people might not want to have their filter zapped, and clicking on the view button only *clearly* indicates the user's intent to change the view, it would be false reasoning to attempt to infer what they want done to the filter from that action. Maybe it would suffice if we put some kind of visual indication in the chooser that there were excluded packages? Say we added a dummy entry at the end of the list that couldn't be clicked on and that just said [ ... more packages filtered out by search string ... ] in italics or something like that? cheers, DaveK -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
