Visibility filters for filedata mode

Visibility filters combobox

The visibility filters in the combobox let you quickly switch between viewing all files, matching files or mismatched files. The single side filter displays "orphaned" files - files that are existing on one side but not existing on the other side. Visibility filters are useful for isolating missing or obsolete files.

The visibility filters combobox is the part of menu Show. You may hide the visibility filters combobox from the main toolbar and use menu Show.

Visibility filters are options for the file display: these filters become effective immediately, without a new comparison.

Also you can use visibility filters shortcut to controlling what files will be shown.
