Better workflow for users who need to manually prune the results of the filters

[ssokolow]

When I'm downloading image sets off Tumblr, I use "Show media from links" combined with the Images filter.

However, because of the way some Tumblr themes work, I have to scroll down and verify that no "you might also like" images are selected.

Because Tumblr themes generally place a flood of unrelated links at the top of the template, this means a lot of spinning the scroll wheel to get down to the actual images.

I'd like to request one or both of the following:

1. A toggle button which causes the filters above the list to behave like the Show/Hide buttons at the bottom and actually hide things which don't match.

2. A configuration option which causes Download Star to automatically scroll the first match into view.

EDIT: I've timed myself. It typically wastes 5-6 seconds every time I have to scroll past all of the irrelevant links.

1. There's a show only checked button; I'm not seeing the difference given it only shows stuff picked up by the filters when its first shown.

2. Sure, it can probably do that always.

I just did this 2.0 release and because I'm super busy, so I'm only fixing bugs for the next month or so. Don't expect any of these enhancements for a while unless you're willing to do it yourself.

Huh. For some reason, I'd seen that, incorrectly interpreted the label, and then forgot everything about it except the "already dismissed as not what I'm looking for" judgement. I hate those sorts of mental bugs.

That said, given that it instantly hides anything you click, it could do with an "Undo" button in case your finger slips and you click the wrong one.

Sure, it can probably do that always.

I wouldn't rush to implement it as an "always" thing. I can imagine some cases where a user's most common use case might involve working down from the top of the list, and having to undo the auto-scroll would be just another step for them.

That's why I requested it as a configuration option.

Understood.

I filed this burst of issues as part of a push I'm making to ensure that I'm prepared for Firefox 52 ESR to go away, which is itself part of a push to clear out as many papercuts and niggling time-wasters on my desktop as possible, so whether I contribute to Download Star will depend entirely on whether I burn out or you get to it before I run out of more pressing things to resolve. (eg. improvements to my solution for automated backups, bug fixes to projects of my own that are backlogged, etc.)
