1909138 - Tedious to choose with mouse which folders should be included in facet global search results

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Search, enhancement)

Description

If I have a lot of folders and I don't want many of them to be included in the global search results, I have to right-click on them all one by one to tell TB not to include them.
It should be possible to edit them all in one place in the settings, just like it is for controlling which folders are downloaded for offline use.

vlad, how does version 102 act?

On Mac and Windows, multiselect folders + spacebar works to uncheck many folders. But not with mouse, mouse click always only marks one checkbox. I suspect this also happens in version 102.

Alternative with no mouse - downarrow+spacebar, <repeat> can be faster.

Not very good query https://mzl.la/3yh6aG3

I am confused about what you're referring to here. I cannot find anywhere in the user interface where I would be able to select many folders and than just hit the spacebar to uncheck a box that would cause them to be removed from global search results. That's what my bug was about: that there's no place to do that. If you're saying there is a place to do that, can you describe where it is found in the UI?

vlad, Ignore comment 1

(I don't know how, but) I misunderstood.
