Description Chris 2012-07-02 18:33:27 UTC 
I would like to see a text box in the Task List window that allows me to filter events based on a string.  For instance, let's say I've loaded an NZB file that includes a bunch of PAR2 files and I don't want to waste bandwidth downloading PAR2 blocks that I may not need.  I would like to be able to enter PAR2 in the filter field and have my task list display only the matching results.  I can then select the matches and delete them from the queue.  In addition, it would be nice to be able to negate this filter.  So, if I enter something like "! PAR2" I would see all of the matches that do not contain "PAR2".  This would be much better than having to scroll through the task list to pick out what I'm wanting to delete.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
Comment 2 Chris 2012-07-09 22:33:47 UTC 
Very nice!  Thank you!  That was quick.  I built and tested it and it seems to do just what I described.

Is there a way to negate the filter?  I tried entering ! and a string but that didn't seem to work.  Just wondering ...
Comment 3 Heinrich Müller 2012-07-11 05:20:21 UTC 
Google for negative lookahead. Strangely, that doesn't seem to work with glib. So, i see no way to implement it currently. I could customize the filter, though, but that would be non-standard, so I'd rather let it be.
Comment 4 Chris 2012-07-11 10:16:02 UTC 
That's fine.  Your new filtering changes make the task list so much more usable.  Thanks for your work on this!
