Single line summary of currently applied filters

+0
−0

When no filters are applied to a post list it shows "Filters (None)".

When there are filters applied to a post list it shows "Filters ()".

Would it be useful for there to be a 1 line summary of the currently applied filters instead of empty parentheses?

For example, it could say something like:

Filters (min_score=0.5, max_answers=0, status=open)

Only those filters currently in effect need be mentioned, to keep the summary brief.

With the filters collapsed it could look like this:

Collapsed filters showing a 1 line summary in parentheses

With the filters expanded it could look like this:

Expanded filters showing a 1 line summary in parentheses

If you're using a named filter, either one of the built-in ones or one you created and saved yourself, the name shows up there. So this is an issue specifically for ad-hoc filters.

That's good to know. I guess as a quick fix rather than constructing a description of the filter we could just show something like "Filters (un-named filter)", so it's immediately clear that the list is filtered.

That's what I was thinking too. We want to make it clear there is a filter, and if we don't have a name, we can say that.
