As long as the search within a search can be properly parsed (even though this basic thing kicked my ass I have to believe it is easy) then I'm all for decoupling Saved searches from VLs. |

I vote for using Saved Search names. But is it possible to have a Balloon Help with the actual saved term? (I know how to see it using the long way )

Not in any of the popup menus. Tool tips aren't supported there. That leaves the edit/create dialog, which would imply detecting that the mouse pointer is over a reference to a saved search. I don't know if there is a way to see a "hover" and parsing the text to identify referencing a saved search at exactly that point in the text would be"interesting". So unless I misunderstood you, it isn't likely.

I'd suggest copying the string to preserve the principle of least surprise. Changing something in one part of calibre shouldn't change or break things in a seemingly unconnected part. Also, you want to change the search and VL separately. e.g. start a VL with a saved search then tweak it.

Agreed, you should be able to tweak one without effecting the other. |

If you hover the mouse pointer over the "s" of "search:", it will fill in the box below with the search expression. This is independent of the position of the editing cursor. That saved search expression will remain in the box until you hover over a different search. This lets you hover to get the search expression then copy and do whatever you want with it. This stuff may not end up in the final release. When playing at this level we sometimes run into problems with gui artifacts on one system or another. Kovid checks for this when he reviews the code and builds the various versions. If it happens here, then the changes will be removed. |

Kovid wanted me to do the display of saved searches differently.
The first image is what you see if there aren't any saved searches in the expression: As you can see, it is not different from what it was before. The next one is what you see if there are (recognizable) saved searches in the expression: The saved search text can be selected with the mouse and copied to the clipboard. You would do this if you want to convert the saved search reference to the associated search expression. This code is in trunk for those of you who run from source. |
