Display filter combinations

[RichH]

There are several times when I find that I need more than the predefined combinations of display filters. The current combinations are:
Show Differences
Show No Orphans
Show Differences but No Orphans
Show Orphans
Show Left Newer
Show Right Newer
Show Left Newer and Left Orphans
Show Right Newer and Right Orphans
Show Left Orphans
Show Right Orphans

but often I will need something like
Show Differences and Right Orphans

I need a way to add my own combinations to the list, or the ability to make independent selections such as these four:

Show Differences: all / left newer / right newer / none
Equal files: show / don't show
Left Orphans: show / don't show
Right Orphans: show / don't show

Go to Tools \ Customize Commands... and choose Toggles in the Display filter presets dropdown list.

If you want your equal, not equal, all and none buttons back on the toolbar, you can add them back in using this same Customize Commands dialog.

Hello,

Thanks, Michael.

A brief description of what Michael is describing: the toggle commands allow you to toggle on specific Display Filters. For example, you can toggle on to show Right Orphans and Right Newer Differences, but toggle off the rest to hide those files.

Some examples:
Show All => all toggles enabled
Show Differences => all toggles except Show Same enabled

Michael is also suggesting you can re-enable specific buttons and add them to the toolbar. You can achieve any set of filters with the right toggle combination; the buttons are just a quick way to set that.

Excellent! I'm so excited! I think I can even stop messing with the DOS archive bit to help control which files I want to see. I should have asked earlier.
