Search Field in Navigation Pane
0 vote
Hi,
Is it possible to add/move the Search box to the navigation pane? At the moment the search box and the navigation pane are separate panels and have no relationship, even though starting a search auto-filters the contents of the navigation pane. It would make sense to have the search box located beneath the data source drop-down so that there's a relationship between the two.
Also, having the search box embedded in the 'status bar' means that a small chunk of horizontal screen real estate is taken up by 'XX entries', the version number and a bunch of whitespace, which is not useful information if all I need is search.
Cheers,
Reuben

Hi Reuben,
regarding the search box - did you mean it like this way?

Hi Min,
Yep, that's the exact idea.

Perfect, then you can adjust it in 10 sec :)
File --> Options --> User Interface --> Data source location (in the screenshot it was set to Navigation pane (top))
File --> Options --> User Interface --> Filter --> Location (in the screenshot it was set to Navigation pane (top))
Then your UI should look like mine ;)
and for the second (entries count and version number) you can hide it this way:
File --> Options --> User Interface --> Status Bar--> Hide entry count label & Hide version label
Please note that you have to restart RDM to apply the changes!

Amazing! Thank you.
To the developers: It would be great if this could be (a) more discoverable (right-click Navigation pane > Show Search) and (b) matched to the dark theme better.
Hello Reuben,
Could you post a print screen of what you mean about the dark theme?

Hi David,
You can see in Mins' screenshot above that the search field's formatting/colouring doesn't match the data source drop down above it. The background colours are a lighter shade as are the buttons.

Ok,
I see what you mean. I will ask the guy to look at it.

Hello,
The Dark theme should be applied to the filter bar properly. This will be available in the next patch.
