Re: New Login Dialog search

Since WinSCP 5.8 Incremental site search can be restricted to the beginning of site name only or expended to other site fields:
https://winscp.net/tracker/1348
nom3d

any news on this feature?

I've been looking into other FTP programs because this feature was changed, please make a checkbox in the preferences to revert back to original behavior in versions 5.1.8 and before. thank you!

going back to 5.1.8

I cant stand this new feature and am going back to 5.1.8 as of now

i would gladly pay to have this new sorting feature optional, i like the old way, simple and easy
drooh

I love win scp but please allow users ability to disable

Ive been hanging on hoping that this feature would become optional. I dont use capital letters in any of my session names and this feature just slows me down. I now just scroll through my list instead of typing a few characters.

Ill attach a screenshot of how my sessions are stored. Thanks for all your hard work!

I think it would be better to have a checkbox in the settings to just disable it, honestly I will never use this new search feature as it is just so odd for more me and causes more confusion than help.

That's great. I see it's implemented and scheduled for the next release, so we'll be able to use it soon.
Thanks for your work on this!

Both variants sound good. I'd prefer the first one, but the second will do the job too.

Re: New Login Dialog search

I'm considering two variants:

- Holding down Shift key while typing would revert to previous behaviour.
- Capital letter in search string would match only capital letters in site names, so "Site" (or simply "S") will match "Site", but not "Not a very important site". While "site" (or "s") will match both.

Please note that you should avoid using obsolete, potentially buggy and vulnerable, versions of WinSCP (and software in general).

incremental search

At what version of WinScp was this implemented? I would like to go back to the version right before this feature was added. I use winscp daily and this is an annoying feature for me.

disable incremental search

I too would like to see an option to disable this, I can see how it's helpful for some people but for my needs it is more confusing and takes more time

Thanks for your post.
Will see if more people ask for this.

New Login Dialog search

I'm not too happy about the search behaviour in the redesigned Login Dialog (I have WinScp 5.5.1, I guess it happened in 5.5 or sometime around this version).

I used to be able to press a letter multiple times and cycle through the list of saved sessions whose names started with this letter, e.g.

(Pressing S repeatedly)
Site one

Site two

Some other site

In the new search you can type anything and it will find the word anywhere in the session name, but as a result you can't cycle through session names with a single key.

(Pressing S and then Tab)
Not a very important site

Another site

One more site

Is it possible to get the old behaviour back?

Cheers
