file size filter not working

Postby delboy007 » Sat Oct 22, 2011 4:40 am

When viewing a group I set the min size filter to 100 mb but nothing happens. The list still show files 1 or 2 kb.

I also want to set that 100mb filter and it does not work for me either. I was going to post a new thread but i found this one. I just wanted to see if i was doing something wrong or if this was not working atm. thanks.

On a side note on filtering does any one know if there is a way to hide locked posters from showing up in the list?

edit: i just tried to use a filter profile insted of the drop down boxes that also did not work for me.

Yeah, looks like any size filter over 50M has a problem.

youngyoda, not sure what you mean - that's what locked out posters is for, and it seems to work here. Do you have filters enabled? If you disable them completely, it filters *nothing* except what's in your Global filter.

I'm not seeing it. What I suspect is that it's still showing PAR, SFV and NFO files. There's an option you can disable to prevent these small files from bypassing the size filter. It's in the "Switches" options. "Show PAR/NFO".

I did have the "show par/nfo" checked but after i disabled that smaller rar files still show up in my list. Also locked posters appear with a red icon anyway to hide that not that important the size thing is what i really would like to fix.

I found unchecking it works but I had to close the program and open it again

I closed and reopend it but now it just says the file is "too small" but they still show up in the list do i have some other option checked that allows the items to still be shown?

The fact you see "Poster Lock" suggests you don't have the filters enabled. The power button looking thingy turns them on and off. When there turned off, no filtering happens.

Yeah, it got into a bad state. They should be disabled when the filters are disabled.
