Header display & size filter in 6.50

[philng]

The new behaviour in 6.5 breaks the way I use newsbin for downloading scene release. I used to get headers in a.b.mom. The scene release are in obscure filenames like 137618-0.0, 137618-0.1, 137618-0.2 etc, and I would apply a size filter to filter out any file larger than 50kb so what's left are usually the nfo & sfv files in obscure filenames. Then I just open those files in notepad ++ to screen for the ones that I'd like to download.

However in 6.50, because the way it displays the new headers, the size filter no longer work. In 6.42 the obscure files are display individually.
137618-0.0
137618-0.1
137618-0.2 etc
so if 137618-0.58 is the nfo file, the maximum size filter is able to filter out the rest, leaving 137618-0.58 there

But in 6.5, the obscure files from the newly download headers are collapsed in a singe set and the size filter is applying to the whole set instead of individual files within the set. If a maximum size filter (eg. 50kb) is applied, it filters out the whole thing.
I also tried the option > Switches > Show PAR/NFO (Bypass size filters for some files), it does not work as expected.

Now I left stranded without a way to browse those nfo files. Any chance of updating the size filter to apply to the individual files within the set or revert back to the old way of displaying obscure filenames?

You can always revert to 6.42 too. I'll have to think about it. Talk to Dex about it.
